Kvorn the Gatekeeper Attacks and Abilities

Ax Charge

Kvorn puts down his ax in front of him and runs in a straight line in front of him and once he stops he slams the ground. The damage from the charge will likely not kill you if you are full health but will knock you back and keep you in hit-stun, while the slam does huge damage and can kill you in one hit.

Axe Slam

Kvorn raises his ax in front of him and charges it with the power of ice then slams it into the ground. Icicles will appear on the ground and deal cold damage. This attack can be fatal if hit by it, luckily it has a slow and obvious start-up animation to let you know when you need to gain some distance.

Stomp

Kvorn raises a foot and stomps in the ground in front of him, with icicle spikes coming out of the ground after. This can deal heavy damage with the icicle spikes dealing cold damage.

Tips & Strategies for Beating Kvorn the Gatekeeper

★ Strategy Checklist ★
Take out the Minions Exploit his Slow Speed Stay Behind Him

Take out the Minions

Taking out the minions right away is your top priority. Luckily, Kvorn is pretty slow, giving you time to take out the minions without having to worry about him attacking you.

Exploit his Slow Speed

As mentioned above, Kvorn is slow. He can end up standing for a few seconds before attacking, with his attacks having slow and obvious wind-up animations, letting you know what and when the attack is coming.

Stay Behind Him

Staying behind him will give you a longer opportunity to keep attacking him. With his slow speed, he can take a while to turn around, allowing you to keep attacking before having to get ready for his attacks.
