General tips
Mage build - how to fight?
Start running forward when the boss is very close to you and is in the air.
The boss spins very quickly during this attack, so you don’t have time to counterattack.
While standing in front of it, the boss will often attack you with linear attacks.
It’s best to dodge to the side and start retaliating.
you’ve got the option to also summon ghosts to fight the boss.
However, it is not recommended to summon ghosts with more than two units.
Even if they don’t last long, they should be a good distraction.
Melee build - how to fight?
Rushing may turn out to be your worst enemy, sodon’t attack for too long and often.
We recommend dodging after performing a maximum of two or three attacks - or one for larger weapons.
The enemy’s most dangerous attack is the one in where he flies up.
After a successful dodge, you will have an opportunity to attack.
However, quickly move away, because the Watchdog likes to choose an attack depending on your position.
He can also straighten up and then slam the ground.
Good dodges in any direction will help you stay safe.
you could also move far away from him.
However, the boss can then attack from above.
You should also watch out for his fire breathe - the boss will follow you.

He does it very quickly, so don’t attempt to attack him.
If you have theFlamedrake Talisman, it will slightly increase your fire defense and thus your chance of survival.
