This is the first boss encounter of Chapter 8.44Quest Details66DetailInfoQuest Number107Chapter8: Blood CoronationSub-ChapterAshen StepsRegionHernandTypeBoss FightPrerequisiteRitual PreparationsBossGregor, the Halberd of CarnageRewardsGolden Vanguard Lance, 1 Abyss Artifact99Walkthrough1010Perform the Ritual1212Return to the bamboo forest altar. Fast travel or ride back to the altar from the previous quests.Examine the ground. Stand in front of the altar and use L1/LB to look at the ground. When the "Examine" prompt appears, press Square/X to begin the ritual.Follow the wind. After the ritual cutscene, a new quest marker appears northeast pointing toward a fortress on a hill.1414Reach the Fortress1616Head northeast toward the objective marker. The path is guarded by enemy groups, but you can bypass most of them by riding straight past on your horse. Once at the fortress walls, use triple Force Palm jumps (press jump, then R3/RS mid-air, repeating up to three times) to vault over the walls and skip the main gate entirely.1818Boss Fight: Gregor, the Halberd of Carnage2020Gregor is a spear-wielding human boss with a single health bar. The arena is a courtyard inside the fortress, and arrows fire from the surrounding walls throughout the fight, adding a persistent environmental hazard.2222Attacks and Patterns2424Multi-stab combo: Gregor's most dangerous attack. He enters a super armor state and delivers consecutive stab attacks that track your position. You cannot interrupt him during this sequence.Sweeping strikes: Wide horizontal swings with his halberd. These have good range but leave him open at the end of the combo.Wall arrows: Arrows fire periodically from the fortress walls, hitting random spots in the arena. Keep moving to avoid them.2626Strategy2828Dodge, do not block. Gregor's stab combos will tear through your guard stamina. Dodge forward-right through his stab attacks to end up behind him, then counterattack.Punish his recovery windows. After each combo chain, Gregor has a brief pause. Land two or three heavy attacks during these windows, then disengage.Stay mobile. Moving constantly reduces the chance of wall arrows hitting you. Standing still to trade blows will get you chipped down by both Gregor and the arrows.Heal aggressively. Bring at least 50 to 100 Grilled Meat for the fight. Use healing items whenever you dip below half health.3030After the Fight3232Speak with Woosa. After defeating Gregor, exit the arena and interact with Woosa, a witch wearing a purple dress, standing just outside.Return to Maegu. Mount your horse and wait for Woosa to climb on. Ride back to the bamboo forest altar where Maegu is waiting. A cutscene plays, completing the quest and the Ashen Steps sub-chapter.3434Rewards3636RewardTypeGolden Vanguard LanceWeapon (Spear)Abyss Artifact (x1)Skill Point3838Notes3939Gregor is a relatively straightforward one-phase fight. The wall arrows are the main complication, as they force you to stay mobile even during safe windows.The triple Force Palm jump is useful for reaching the fortress quickly, but it is not required. You can fight through the front gate instead.After this quest, the chapter shifts to the "To Demeniss" sub-chapter, which focuses on stealth infiltrations and political intrigue rather than boss fights.4141Related Quests4343Previous: Ritual PreparationsNext: Chasing a ShadowChapter walkthrough: Chapter 8: Blood Coronation Walkthrough
