Boss Strategy: Forest Ancient
Use Ranged Attacks
Throw the Leviathan Axe while its chest is exposed to deal damage. Avoid facing it head-on as the boss is resistant to melee attacks.
Pick up the chunks that it drops by pressing the Circle button and throw into its chest when it's exposed to deal massive damage.
Fire Draugrs also appear in this boss fight. Have Atreus distract the boss when taking these enemies out.
