| Entry Text | |
| We just killed the Dark Elf King that's been harassing us this whole time. I thought I'd feel good about that, but...just before he died, he said the Light Elves were the bad guys. Could that be true? What if we've been fighting against the good guys this whole time? THe Light Elves don't SEEM evil, but...if they really were the ones who started this war, then maybe the Dark Elves were just fighting back? So confusing...I guess I see why Father didn't want to get involved (but I'm not going to tell him that). | |

Svartaljofurr Boss Fight Guide
Opening Attack
As soon as you try to use the sand bowl, you will have no other choice but to break free from Svartaljofurr's grasp.
Svartaljofurr Attack Patterns
Attack 1
He will charge at you with his staff, intent on unleashing an unblockable energy charged attack. You can tell when he tries to do this when he spins in place while twirling his staff. Avoid this strike.
Attack 2
He will float for a moment in the air before charging at you for a strike. If you get caught in this attack, he will come up to the air once more to strike with an unblockable hit. Avoid these, and counter when he stays still, kneeling on the ground.
Attack 3
He will fly up in the air and send three energy traps near where you stand, or where you're moving towards. Avoid these as it can blind you. A variant of this will be when you strike him, he will evade you and leave behind a trap.
Attack 4
The last of his attacks will see Svartaljofurr fly in the air for a moment before slamming back down to the ground near where you are. Evade this.
Tips and Strategy
Fighting against Svartaljofurr is actually one of the rare few fights you'll have in the game where moving too much might betray you if you're not careful. Be a little conservative with your evasions, as his attack of sending traps your way might get you caught in a temporary spell of blindness.
