How to Fight

Fighting the Alpha Garkain is the same as fighting a normal Garkain.

The best way to deal with the Alpha Garkain is to gain some significant distance from it so it will leap to attack you. You can then cast the Yrden Sign and wait for it to leap towards you. Dodge or roll away from the attack appropriately and attack the Alpha Garkain while it is being slowed by the Yrden Sign trap.

Another good way to deal with it is to directly hit it with a Samum Bomb. Successfully hitting it will stun it for a good duration and allow you get multiple attacks in or a charged rend.

What Preparations to Make?

You should use your Silver Sword and coat it with Vampire oil to deal bonus damage to them. You can prepare some bombs like the Grapeshot Bomb and the Dancing Star Bomb to fight it at a distance. Also bring some Samum Bombs and Black Blood Potions to help you control the monster.

Special Sign Effects

• Igni - If you Sign Intensity is high enough, this can burn them which can help you deal additional damage to them.
• Yrden - This can be used to slow them down after they leap so you can hit it with more attacks.
• Axii - This can stun them for a good duration and allow you to hit it with multiple attacks.
