Tips on Beating The Executioner
Move Away From Its Powerful Area Attacks Watch Out for Guillotine Blade Attack

Move Away From Its Powerful Area Attacks

Keep your distance and be wary of the powerful AoE attacks that The Executioner can do in the later stages of the fight. These Area Attacks do not only deal devastating damage, but it also cannot be dodged by Dodge Rolling or the Evasion stat.

Watch Out for Guillotine Blade Attack

One of the most dangerous and trickiest to spot would be The Executioner's attack involving a giant guillotine blade falling from the sky. You can see this attack coming by watching out for:

The Executioner handles his weapon like a lever

The Executioner drives his weapon into the ground before pulling the handle down like a lever.

Circular Gusts of Wind

When The Executioner is setting up the attack by handling his weapon like a lever, you will see circular gusts of wind indicating where the attack will land. If you find yourself within the gusts of wind, quickly dodge or move away to avoid potentially getting one-shot.
