How to Beat The Executioner

Tips on Beating The Executioner

Move Away From Its Powerful Area Attacks

The Executioner AoE 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 Attack

Circular Gusts of Wind
