One eyed monster

Just how do you kill this thing ???
I beat him down to about 30% damage and then I am dead Sick of trying this one

Hey Ab,
Not sure what level you are or of the difficulty you are playing at, but my strategy was to use abilities and skirt / arrow him to death when I first faced off with that bastage. Once you get high enough level and if you aren't playing on nightmare, he is one of the easier boss level challenges. Medusa was my bane...

I actually found Medusa to be one of the easier ones. Sure, if you get hit she's unforgiving af, but she's very predictable. Eye laser, then aoe bombardment. Repeat.

Seems this game puts an emphasis on gear. I don't find myself to be a really great player but I slaughtered the cyclops pretty easily. This may be due to me spending lots of time on configuring and finding gear. The pirate set with Hunter engravings is a really great build to put out a lot of DPS at range. Then when opportunities arise, jump in and slash them with assassin daggers, then run back at range and continue firing charged arrows.
Hope you also have the healing ability because that is pretty much essential at higher levels.

If you shoot him in the eye, it should stun him and open him for melee hits. It's not much, but it helps.

Looks like you've got some good tips shared here OP, good luck on defeating the Monster, I believe in you!

It sometimes can all depend on your build, so I'd recommend switching that up if you are still having trouble. You can always lower your difficulty as well!

Yea ... that's the worst boss in the entire game (main game anyway. haven't finished FOA). If you changed the difficulty to easy just for that one, I wouldn't blame you.

Yep, this one takes more planning, a really good set of defensive add-ons and something that has a decent reach while being sharp and deadly. That piggy is a right bastard, and I always feel a sense of evil glee when it breathes its last.

You can actually fight the boar very effectively in CQB with daggers. Utilize the lock-on function to lock on to the boar, then stay behind him.

Every time he goes to turn, just dodge back to his butt, then keep attacking.

This will actually lock him in to a loop where he is constantly turning to face you.


He spawns his adds after each 1/4 of his HP is gone. So plan accordingly. He will generally run from you, then spawn them.

Use multishot on them to kill them quick, or use the slow time ability and pick them off one by one.

Then when the boar closes the distance again, with a charge, just dodge, lock back on, and keep jabbing his butt with your daggers.

Hmm, not a fan of daggers, but I might try them in a future playthrough, just for the challenge if nothing else. I just tend to like two-handed weapons (double halberds and pikes are personal favorites) since it seems weird to me to have somebody shaped like Hercules whipping out a pair of teeny-weeny hobbit swords to take on a moving, snorting fart machine. If they work, though, I'll give them a ride.

Personally, right now on my current Nightmare+ game I am using the Minotaur's Labrys 2H Axe. Drops all Overpower attacks, including bow attacks, to 2 adrenaline.

Its my heavy hitting aoe weapon for my poison build. have it upgraded to make its weapon damage poison.

love it. and some of the kill moves with it are absolutely brutal.


Ill usually swap to my daggers when I am up against a really tough enemy so that I can get my poison applied really quick.

The weakening effect of poison is a life saver on Nightmare. Can take you from being two-shot, to being able to take 5-10 hits before being in trouble.
