Kawa the Blacksmith

Two-handed forge hammer, slow parries, heavy overhead strikes. The face of the uprising.

Ember Warrior — combat still

Shieldbearer

Heaviest armour, slowest movement, raise-shield block that reflects serpent projectiles.

The final boss is not one fight. Zahhak cycles through five phases, each remixing his attack pattern and forcing you to rebuild your rhythm mid-battle.
