How to Find
Appears during the quest "True Strength".
Strategy
- 1Do not match T'rukan's aggression — hold your ground, learn the rhythm of his fist combos, and only strike after his recovery
- 2Spam shield parries with L1 and land only 1-2 attacks after each successful counter — do not go for full combos
- 3When a spectral being appears behind T'rukan, his next attacks hit extremely hard in bursts of three — dodge all three
- 4Upgrade Health Skill to Level 6 (750 HP minimum) and bring Level 6 refined gear with Anvil + Grindstone buffs
- 5Bring 200 pieces of food for this late-game fight, mixing grilled meat with stews for higher healing
- 6Cheese strategy: T'rukan is very susceptible to Sleep Arrows — one hit puts him down for free damage. Two Sleep Arrows can kill him
