| Entry Text | |
| Mother said Stonebeard King earned his title "King" simply because no one could take it from him. If you are arrogant enough to call yourself a king, you better be able to back it up, and Stonebeard could. He never lost a fight...until now. | |

Stonebeard King Boss Fight Guide
Opening Attack
You can choose between attacking first or waiting for the Stonebeard King to make the first move. It is recommended to hang back and wait for it to make the first attack.
Stonebeard King Attack Patterns
Attack 1
The Troll will stalk towards you and slam its Stone Pillar down to the ground. Unlike other Trolls with a similar attack, there is no area of effect added to this strike.
Attack 2
The King will stomp its feet, sending a wave of ice straight at you. Block or dodge this.
Attack 3
If you deal it enough damage, the Stonebeard King will swing its Stone Pillar around wildly before finally finishing up with a slam. Avoid these strikes, and counter attack once it has ended.
Attack 4
A special attack, the Stonebeard King will rear its Stone Pillar high before slamming it into the ground. Spikes of Ice will appear around you, which is important for you to avoid as these will explode after a short while.
Tips and Strategy
Very easy fight, complicated only by the appearance of Wolves that run around the battle ground before attacking you. Its recommended to take care of these first before striking back at your main target for the fight.
