Boss Battle: Gnashor

Gnashor is a terrible fiend whose vile power has steadily grown over the ages with the slaying of each of its countless victims. Death must best this mighty adversary to prove his worth.

Focus on Gnashor and remain evasive as the fiend tunnels around beneath the Arena’s floor. Gnashor will briefly emerge to strike several times before fully bursting out of the earth, exposing itself. Immediately Deathgrip Gnashor’s skull to rip the beast to the ground, then punish its vulnerable skull with a furious combo.

After suffering significant damage, Gnashor will call upon all of its power and summon its true form. Gnashor now attacks by whipping around its skull and spine with thunderous impact. Prioritize avoiding these deadly blows, and strike hard at Gnashor’s feet at every opportunity.

Stagger Gnashor with a powerful combo, and then wait for it to let out a terrible scream. Immediately Deathgrip Gnashor’s skull during this howl to bring the beast crashing down.

Now’s your chance! Assail Gnashor’s skull while the monster is helpless. You can inflict great amounts of damage at this point without fear of counterattack. Continue staggering and stunning Gnashor in this fashion to pile on the damage and emerge victorious!

The Golden Skull

The Dead King’s Court

Take your leave of the Gilded Arena after slaying Gnashor and claiming its Golden Skull. Ascend the spiral stairwell and cross the pier to return to the Eternal Throne. If you wish, trade with Ostegoth, who now stands near the far stairs.

Scale the north stairs and speak with the Chancellor to at last gain an audience with the Lord of Bones. Sadly, the Dead King has no interest in aiding the Reaper—or at least not until the Horseman succeeds in bringing his three Dead Lords back to court to serve their master. Death has little choice in the matter, and accepts a new ability that will aid him in his efforts.

Interdiction

After speaking with the Dead King, search behind his throne to discover a lost Relic for Ostegoth.
