Boss Battle: Archghoul

In an effort to step up his assassination attempts, Annuvin has sent an Archghoul after you. The demon doesn't come alone either; it summons Skeletons to intercept you and tie you down in melee. If you do this long, you're dead. You must effectively kill off the Skeletons as soon as they arrive and keep your distance from the demon's fireballs and area-of-effect red cyclone attack that deals massive damage.

When you see the demon start casting a spell, roll to one side, and if you're caught inside the red cyclone, sprint out immediately.

The Archghoul's main defense is an impenetrable Blood Magic Shield. It gathers up corpses to power the shield. Don't bother dealing damage to the Archghoul when the shield is up—it's invulnerable; rather, concentrate on the destroying the corpses. Explode all the corpses and the shield drops so you can harm the demon.

Dragon's Breath punishes the Archghoul, and so does a healthy diet of arrows or powerful swings. So long as you dodge the big attacks, smash the Skeletons, lower the shield by dismembering the corpses, and wound the demon with a ton of damage—whew!—you should be fine. By now your combat expertise should win you the day, even if this fight takes a lot longer than your battles with Wargar. After the demon gets sucked back to hell, you find your boat and embark on the final river voyage to Annuvin's stronghold, Kala Moor.
