Тактика

As Velgar is the first true boss to be fought, he can be defeated by one or more players in either Normal or Hard mode.

His main attacks are Claw Slam, Claw Strike, Bite, Head Swing, and Dragon Breath (Poison). He will only attempt to bite or use his claw strike attacks against you if you are within melee range (close range), but can slam the ground to send earthen spikes towards you or use his dragon breath attack to generate a poisonous area in a cone shape from his direction. Each time his health is reduced by roughly 25%, until reaching the final 25%, Velgar will fly up into the sky and rain down poison barrages that will land where there are red-orange circles on the ground. Avoid being within the circles to getting severely damaged as they will sometimes overlap and damage you multiple times.

You will also need to make sure that you time your attacks, dodges, and evasions properly as panicking will cause you to potentially be hit by Velgar's attacks. Another thing to be cautious about is that if you run low on the Противоядие potion effect or the Грибная стойкость food perk as Velgar's poison-based attacks will rapidly poison you and make you lose roughly 4 health per second until cured.

Pedestal strategy

Velgar can be easily taken down by just standing on the horn's holder; by standing on it you will evade close combat and ground spikes that do a lot of damage, but you will absorb poison damage, so having the lesser antipoison and food helps. The only time you will need to jump off is to dodge the poison rain, if you're willing to dodge them.

The pedestal will vanish the moment the battle starts, so in order to do this strategy, players will first require to have a lodestone in front of the boss entrance, start the encounter as normal then teleport out of the boss instance by pausing the game and pressing the "X" key. There, they can use the lodestone once again to teleport to the boss entrance, enter it and the fight will begin with the pedestal back. If done this right, the pedestal should reappear and stay.
