The First Berserker: Khazan - Shactuka Boss Guide

Conquer The First Berserker: Khazan's challenging Shactuka boss fight! This guide details strategies to overcome Shactuka's devastating attacks and secure victory. Underestimating this foe is a grave mistake.

Shactuka, the ninth main story boss in Inconceivable Truth, hits hard, but its attacks are largely avoidable with careful timing. The key is patience and precise execution.

Preparing for Battle:

Shactuka inflicts the Plague status effect easily. Stock up on Plague Cleanse Potions beforehand.

Defeating Shactuka:

While powerful, Shactuka's attacks are slow, allowing for strategic counterplay. Its mouth and arm (which glows pink when coated in Plague) inflict the Plague status.

• 5-Hit Combo: This multi-hit attack culminates in a ground slam. Brink Parry each individual hit, dodge the final slam, and retaliate. If the arm is pink, dodge all hits to avoid Plague buildup. Post-dodge attacks conserve stamina.

• Backfoot Kick: Shactuka jumps backward and kicks. Simply block this attack; dodging is riskier.

• Backturn Arm Swing: A quick hand attack following the Backfoot Kick. Avoid (block or dodge) to exploit the boss's lengthy recovery time. A charged sprint Potent Blow to the back inflicts significant damage.

• Jumping Swing: A delayed overhead swing. Block this attack and prepare for an immediate follow-up.

• Backturn Twin Arm Swing: A double-arm attack, leaving Shactuka vulnerable on the ground. Aim for the face for increased damage.

• One Arm Swing Into Dive Attack: An arm slam followed by a dive. Block or dodge; this attack has a slow recovery. Capitalize on the vulnerable period afterward.

• Triple Bite Combo: Three bites followed by a final attack. Dodge each bite to avoid Plague. Dual wield users can use a swift attack into a whirlwind combo to avoid the final bite.

• Grab Attack: An audible cue precedes this grab attack; dodge immediately.

• Bite The Hand (Post-¼ HP): Shactuka bites its pink hand, inflicting Plague. This is unblockable; use a counterattack.

• Scratching Hand (Post-¼ HP): A ground scratch followed by a swing. Block the swing; dodging the second scratch is risky.

• Charging Claw: A charging attack. Dodge to avoid; counterattacking is difficult.

• Pink Hand Thrust (Post-¼ HP): A quick thrust after biting its pink hand. Dodge this attack.

Exploit Shactuka's recovery periods after successfully avoiding attacks. Prioritize Brutal Attacks to the face when staggered.

Victory rewards include a potential Beast's Jawbone (for Beastslayer crafting) and a Beastslayer equipment piece. Yulian awaits with a crucial revelation.
