Boss Strategies: How to Beat Hemming

• Dropping to zero HP will not result in your death. The fight will simply reset afterward with HP, rations, and arrows fully replenished.
• Hemming's HP also replenishes after the reset.
• Be mindful of Hemming's long-reaching combo attacks with his spear at all times.
• Watch out for Hemming's Dive of the Valkyries attack. Getting hit by this will result in massive damage.
• Hemming occassionally throw spears towards you from range. Always be prepared to dodge out of the way.
• Hemming will stagger off-balance if every time you successfully parry two consecutive light attacks and his stun bar will take a massive hit. Use this to your advantage!
• Hemming will teleport to another area of The Sleeping Jotun once he drops to about 50% HP. Watch out for his spears while chasing him down.
• Lightning will randomly strike the ground once Hemming's HP drops to about 50% HP. Be prepared to dodge out of the way!
• Hemming can parry light attacks as well with two heavy attacks. Avoid spamming your light attacks from the front to prevent this from happening.
