Slugvogg Battle Overview

Slugvogg
Quest	The Goblin's Shard
Act	The Goblin Valley

Slugvogg is quite tanky, but otherwise his attack style remains the same as other Verbeegs - slow movements but heavy damage. He will have a few new abilities to look out for.

Slugvogg Attacks and Abilities

Spear Thrust

Slugvogg points and thrusts his spear in your direction. Dodge to the side.

Spear Hook

Slugvogg throws his spear at you if you're far away. If caught, you'll get dragged to him. You can telegraph when he'll do this since he'll be outlined red. Dodge to the side to avoid this.

Spear Sweep

Slugvogg clears the area in front of him with his spear twice. He'll be winding back his arm and outlined red when he's about to do this, so just dodge out of the way.

Ground Pound

Slugvogg lifts his arm up then pushes it down to the ground, causing AoE damage. Dodge in any direction away from him.

Leap Forward

Slugvogg covers a lot of ground by leaping forward and trying to slam his fist down on you. Dodge backwards when you see him start to lean back.

Tips & Strategies for Beating Slugvogg

★ Strategy Checklist ★
Kill Minions First Quick Evades Use Explosive Barrels Knock Slugvogg Down

Kill Minions First

There will be gobilins in the combat area when you enter. Clear them out before engaging Slugvogg so that your combos aren't interrupted.

Quick Evades

As with other Verbeegs, quick movements and dodges are important in this fight. Your primary strategy will be to get a couple hits in then dodge away when he's about to do any attack. Repeat this and you should win easily. Blocking won't be too useful here.

Use Explosive Barrels

There's a few explosive barrels in the area you can use to damage Slugvogg. He has sluggish movements so he won't be able to get out of the barrels' damage AoE.

Knock Slugvugg Down

Like with other Bosses, Slugvogg will get Exhausted after using several moves. At that point, you can knock him down with a Fierce Attack and you can get a couple free hits in. Hit him from behind to get a critical strike.
