How to Beat Hrothgar?

Tips
AC Valhalla Bullet Point Hrothgar is a slow fighter. Most of his attacks will land well after the colored flashes that would indicate an incoming attack comes.
AC Valhalla Bullet Point He will heal himself once his health has been reduced significantly.
AC Valhalla Bullet Point Hrothgar will power himself up to make his attacks come more frequently.
AC Valhalla Bullet Point He habitually throws poison bombs at you, requiring you to stay mobile and watch your environment for anything that can impede your movement.

Parry or Dodge

Assassin

Despite being slow, Hrothgar likes to charge at you for a close up attack. Most of these attacks can be parried or dodged, with the only difficulty being that timing would be key in the fight due to how slow the actual hits come in. You can hit him if he doesn't attack you however, due to his counterattacks being slow.

Disupt His Healing

Assassin

If you reduce his health enough, he will try to heal himself. Occassionally, he will also try to power himself up, indicated by the golden glow that surrounds him, which makes him attack much more aggressively. Disrupt these attempts by melee attacking him.

Avoid the Poison Bombs

Assassin

Hrothgar will chuck poison bombs at you, which forces you to move from place to place. These are easily avoidable enough if you can run, but be wary of him when he tries to charge at you.
