Lord Bolzef's Attack Patterns

Explosion

Bolzef will come closer glowing a deep shade of red before releasing energy in a small explosion outward. This attack deals minimal damage, but can stun you. This leaves you vulnerable to any of his other attacks.

Ax blow

In this attack, Bolzef will throw his battle ax to the ground. Falling into the trap of this attack can easily lower your HP to a critical level, or completely knock you out if you can't avoid it. He can also perform this attack by jumping into the air before slamming his ax into the ground.

Jump attack

There are two variations of this attack, both of which can be easily avoided by watching how Bolzef moves. Both options happen the same way, but the first option will create a wave of fire that expands outward, which can be avoided by jumping up.

The second option doesn't have a wave of fire, but instead creates a small explosion that can daze you if you hit an attack.

Spin Attack

Bolzef is easy to avoid but hard to recover from a single hit, he will spin his battle ax in circles. The time it takes for him to actually attack is quite long, so you have plenty of time to move to the side before the attack can start.

However, note that he can land this attack one after the other - it's best to wait until he has his battleaxe back on his shoulder before resuming any attacks on him.

Ax charge

Bolzef will lunge at you, dragging the ax along the ground before swinging it up. This attack will release three separate prongs of energy, but they are easily avoided by moving to the side.

Fire Avatar: Fireballs

During the second phase of the fight, a giant fiery Picture. You can ignore this by focusing all your attention on Bolzef. However, he has the ability to attack by firing fireballs at you, which can easily knock you out if you're not careful.

Fire Avatar's other attacks include burning rocks falling on you and punching the ground, which can be easily avoided.
