If you're diving into the challenging world of *The First Berserker: Khazan*, you'll soon encounter the formidable Yetuga at the end of the Mount Heinmach level. This boss fight, though your first, is no walk in the park. You'll need to master the combat mechanics you've learned to emerge victorious. Yetuga is an aggressive opponent, ready to unleash a barrage of attacks when you step into its domain. Here's how to beat this beast and claim your rewards.

Yetuga is capable of a variety of attacks, including both long and short-range options. Here are the key moves you need to watch out for:

  • A two-hit combo starting with a left-handed smash downward followed by a right-handed uppercut.
  • A four-hit combo featuring horizontal swipes with either its left or right arm.
  • A downward smash with both arms.
  • A leaping single-handed smash.
  • A jumping grab.
  • A charge.

Your strategy should revolve around dodging and parrying effectively to minimize damage. As you engage Yetuga, you'll start recognizing its attack patterns, allowing you to strike back in the brief moments between its assaults. Parrying all attacks except the jumping grab will not only save your Stamina but also deal significant Stamina damage to Yetuga. Use its aggressive nature against it by baiting it into charging into a wall, which will leave it momentarily vulnerable. This is your chance to attack and potentially shatter the ice spikes on its back, weakening its offensive capabilities.

In the second phase, after dealing enough damage, Yetuga will roar and power up. Keep your distance as it grabs a giant rock to smash at you. Dodge or parry this attack at the right moment to avoid damage. Be wary of its new frost breath attack that creates ice spikes; move away or parry when it reaches you. Seize opportunities to use Potent Attacks, and when Yetuga is exhausted, unleash a Brutal Attack to deal substantial damage.

Defeating Yetuga rewards you with 4,800 Lacrima, Frozen Mountain gear items, and the Necklace of Resolve. These rewards are a testament to your skill and perseverance in *The First Berserker: Khazan*.
