Enter the cave behind the agent for Shrine #7.
23
Prepare for the boss fight against Gurthka.

Boss Fight: Gurthka

Gurthka has four main attacks:

Ground Slam & Fireballs: Jumps high, slams down, releasing four curving fireballs. Dodge between them and attack.
Low Flight & Claw Swipe: Flies low, swipes with a claw, releasing three smaller fireballs. Dodge roll through it, get close to attack.
Fire Breath: Breathes fire across most of the room. Move to the opposite side.
Fire Pillars: Slams the ground, creating six pillars of fire. Stay in the safe zones between them.

He also summons a blue-aura skull for free damage.

Strategy: The arena has fire in the center, limiting movement. Stay on one side (e.g., left) and attack when he approaches. His attacks are predictable, and the fire breath is less dangerous in the larger arena. This fight is similar to the previous encounter.

After the boss fight, scenes will play, concluding the stage and leading into Act 2.
