Living up to his title, Cragalanche’s stone form compliments his immense strength. A frontal attack against him is a very dangerous prospect. Even when you hit him, he barely reacts to your efforts most of the time, unless it’s to punch you.
At a distance, Cragalanche is no slouch. He is able to fling boulders or shock waves at Pit. He’s also capable of rolling at high speed toward Pit, which is very damaging, but it’s telegraphed so heavily that if you keep Cragalanche on screen, you can easily anticipate when you dodge to the side.
Watch out for when Cragalanche spins through the air toward you. It’s roughly as fast as the rolling charge, has a wider area of effect as he’s charging, and, upon finishing the attack, an explosion will damage Pit if he’s still too close. Cragalanche also levitates off the ground to try to sit atop the angel.
As a melee combatant, Cragalanche has reach and flexibility; he’s able to stretch his arms out to pound Pit into the dirt.
He can even drill underneath the ground to attack Pit from below.
Arguably, Cragalanche’s most dangerous attack involves his creating a set of stones that he then fires out as a wave of destruction toward Pit. He can use this at any range, and it acts as a powerful frontal defense.
This is a lot of moves, even for a boss. Cragalanche is a tough opponent for many players early on. He’s got excellent offense, his defense is rock solid, and these things combined can make this fight last for a long time. But he’s not perfect.
If you get behind Cragalanche, you might notice the glowing red spot on his butt. It’s the one chink in his armor, and it’s your best bet for taking him down. Enough blows to this weak point can actually stun the rock monster, allowing you to pile on even more damage. If you are able to consistently exploit this weakness, you can take care of this battle before Cragalanche really gets his offense rolling.
After breaking this boss, Viridi heaps mocking praise upon you, seemingly unconcerned by the loss of her skilled fighter. One of her Reset Bombs is nearing completion. Pit is forced to withdraw for the moment.
