How to Beat The Marrow Mini Boss
Dash to Dodge Skarrgard's Attacks
The main thing players will be doing in the fight is dodging and attacking after Skarrgard's attack combo. This is the most efficient and easiest way to beat him.
Players can also head to the narrow tunnel at the entrance to limit his attack pattern to simply swinging, avoiding his deadly jump attack.
Use Silkspear to Damage Skarrgard
Players can use their skill, Silkspear to deal even more damage to The Marrow mini boss apart from your normal attacks.
List of All Skills and Effects
Pogo to Counter The Marrow Mini Boss
Another way of dodging Skarrgard is through pogo-ing on top of him to avoid his horizontal swings. Keep in mind that pogo-ing will not protect you from his jump attacks so keep a close eye on him!
Parry Skarrgard's Attacks
The best way to fight against The Marrow mini boss is by parrying his moves. While this may be harder for newer players, Skarrgard is the perfect enemy to read and parry into as he has slow and predictable moves that can be parried.
Skarrgard Attack Patterns
Burrow
Skarrgard burrows on the ground then emerges. Stay away from the dust cloud to avoid taking damage.
Jump Attack
Skarrgard leaps then slams their weapon on the ground. Can be parried, but requires Swift Step to dodge comfortably due to its long reach.
Double Swing
Skarrgard swings their weapon twice. Can be dodged with Swift Step or parried with normal attacks.
Skarrgard Rewards
Entrance to Hunter's March
Skarrgard does not drop items when defeated. However, players will be able to unlock an entrance to Hunter's March near The Marrow, where the Fractured Mask and Beast Crest are found.
Skarrgard Location
Rightmost Section of The Marrow
Skarrgard is found in The Marrow as a mini boss guarding the entrance to Hunter's March. They have the appearance of a muscular red ant with a skull mask wielding a weapon made out of bone.
