Walkthrough
- 1Head back to Unicorn Cliff and approach Kailok the Hornsplitter's camp
- 2You can skip the guard fights — focus on reaching the boss arena
- 3Initiate the boss fight with Kailok the Hornsplitter
- 4Use perfect shield counters when Kailok attacks — green glow means interruptible
- 5Stock 40+ healing items before the fight — cook meat from Hernand vendors
- 6Counter red-glint melee attacks with Force Palm for damage and defense
- 7Avoid blue-glowing super armor phase — he's invulnerable, keep distance
- 8Evade long-range wind slash attacks by rolling or moving away
- 9Use standard attack combos between counters while managing stamina
- 10Defeat Kailok to complete the quest and unlock Evasive Roll ability
Tips
- Perfect counters are the safest DPS — wait for attack patterns before engaging heavily
- Never attack during Hornsplitter's blue super armor phase — he's invincible
- Cook healing items in advance — buying pre-made food is expensive, cooking is cheaper
- Force Palm counters both interrupt bosses and restore your HP — use liberally
- Watch for wind slash tells — evade rolls work better than shields for range attacks
- Stamina management is critical — balance attacks, blocks, and evasion rolls
- You unlock Evasive Roll after this fight — it trivializes many later encounters
NPCs Involved
- Kailok the Hornsplitter
