How to Beat Rikiwulf

Rikiwulf has two types of weapons which he attacks with, the two-handed axe and the two hammers. Both the weapons serve as close to medium range weapons that he switches around to hit you with.

While his two-handed axe weapon is heavier and will take time to hit you, if he successfully lands on you, you will take a significant amount of damage. On the other hand, his close-range hammers are quick and deal a small amount of damage if you get hit.

To defeat Rikiwulf, you have to take advantage of all his missed attacks. For example, his axe attacks are quite slow and take time for him to follow up with another attack. His axe attack also indicates when he is about to hit you with them, which serves as a warning sign to dodge to either side or back off. Dodging to the sides will allow you to hit back at Rikiwulf as he stands vulnerable for a brief moment.

When Rikiwulf realizes that you may have the advantage, he will switch to his hammers, allowing him to produce a quick series of attacks in one go. Now although you can dodge away his attacks, the best way to deal with Rikiwulf’s hammers is to parry his attacks and then counter attack. This will ensure that you have full control of the fight at all times, regardless of what weapon he comes at you with.
