You encounter her along with Basileus (the third Death Lord the King of Bones wants you to recover). You will actually encounter Achidna during the main questline so no need to actively seek her out. Level Recommendation - Level 15 or higher on normal, 16 or higher on Apocalyptic. Once you finally defeat him you will be rewarded with a unique pair of Scythe's, Bleithir's Talons (Level 15).Īchidna - The spider companion of Basileus with some strong lightning and short range attacks.

Falling into the lava is a sure way to avoid his attacks, however every time you do you have to wait roughly 30 seconds for the boss to fly around and land again (rather annoying). To avoid this, you can either time a roll to get behind him (and suffer some fire damage) or you can hang off one of the ledges, and then shimmy behind him and attack. Bleithir will make a grand entrance on one end of the platform, then will spew fire breath out across it. Engaging Bleithir isn't too hard, you can mostly rely on Redemption although the fight does tend to drag on following that method. You will actually see Bleithir flying slowly round this large room however the fight won't begin until you Deathgrip across the chasm to the narrow platform out in the lava. Once you hit the stream of lava in the corner and another door you have arrived. If you have already cleared the dungeon you can take the first right door and follow it. This large bird is located in the Nook dungeon however the battle is ONLY accessible after you receive Deathgrip (the hookshot). I actually found Bleithir to be the easiest of the 4 creatures. Level Recommendation - Level 13 or higher on any difficulty. Once Gorewood finally falls, you will be rewarded with a unique Maul, the Gorewood Maul (Level 10).īheithir - A large, fire covered bird that deals some decent damage but only has a few attacks. I summoned fire ghouls to help me fight and the added fire damage was a real helper.

Dodging is key to surviving this encounter and you want to stay close enough to Gorewood to attack after it does, but you need to watch out for its ranged attacks as you can get snared and Gorewood will inflict some big damage. Once you approach the large area the battle will begin. Swim down the lake and under the land masses to emerge in a little cove on the opposite side. Proceed onwards and to the bottom of this mini-dungeon and you will come to a lake. Once inside you will find a skeleton key to open the door out front. In this area you will need to climb the outside walls and proceed inside the dungeon. Gorewood can be found underneath the Weeping Crag area and is a little tricky to find. Level Recommendation - Any level above 8 on normal, 10 or higher on Apocalyptic. Gorewood - A large treeish creature that has several mid range attacks and a few devastating up close attacks. Please note that I fought all of these creatures on Apocalyptic difficulty. These bosses can be quite challenging and I recommend you level up before taking them on. This will now allow you to take the quests for finding the four bosses Thane wants "taken care of". Your first goal will be to defeat him in combat.Īssuming you are strong enough to face him, he will end the fight after 3/4 of his life bar is gone and speak to you. If you are lower than Level 5 (roughly) then I suggest you level up a bit. Speaking to him at first will yield only a challenge from the gruff maker. You will spot him as you first arrive, either drinking or striking large pieces of wood with his weapon.

This achievement is for a side quest that is given to you by Thane, one of the makers located at Tri-Forge.
