Tips
- The fortress is northeast of the altar — ignore enemies and head straight there
- Use triple Force Palm jumps (press button mid-air three times) to scale walls quickly
- Gregor uses a spear with consecutive stab attacks — these are hard to block, so dodge
- When Gregor enters super armor mode, he's invulnerable — wait for gaps to attack
- Arrows fire from the arena walls — keep moving to avoid them
- Build health reserves before the Gregor fight — use food items beforehand
- After victory, don't skip the Woosa interaction prompt
- The horse ride back is linear and safe — no combat required
- This quest unlocks the final Chapter 8 quest: Chasing a Shadow
