The Bullguard is your first significant mini-boss. He wields a giant halberd. His primary attacks include overhand slams and quick horizontal slashes, often in a two-hit combo followed by a stronger overhead strike. After each combo, he pauses, creating an opening for 2-3 light attacks or a single heavy attack. Be cautious of his multiple overhead swings that culminate in a massive jump attack; dodge all swings before counterattacking. Once his health is halved, you gain the Immobilize spell. Use this spell strategically to bind him, allowing for free hits, especially heavy attacks to build Focus. Remember, he breaks free faster than regular enemies. Manage your magic meter carefully, as it only refills at Shrines.
