Yetuga is your first boss encounter in *The First Berserker: Khazan*, and it's no walk in the park. To emerge victorious, you'll need to master the game's combat mechanics, utilizing dodges and parries effectively to mitigate damage. Yetuga is known for its aggressive nature, launching frenetic attacks when its territory is threatened. It can perform both long and short-range attacks, including a leaping slam.

Here are the key moves you need to watch out for:

  • A two-hit combo starting with a left-handed smash downward followed by a right-handed uppercut.
  • A four-hit combo with horizontal swipes using either its left or right arm.
  • A downward smash with both arms.
  • A leaping single-handed smash.
  • A jumping grab.
  • A charge.

As you engage with Yetuga, you'll need to learn its attack patterns and strike back during the brief windows between its assaults. Parrying is particularly effective against all attacks except the jumping grab, allowing you to inflict significant Stamina damage. Exploit Yetuga's aggressive behavior by dodging its charge and letting it crash into a wall, which will leave it momentarily vulnerable. This is your chance to attack and potentially break the ice spikes on its back, weakening its offensive capabilities.

As you continue to pressure Yetuga, you'll eventually trigger its second phase. When the beast roars and powers up, create some distance. It will then pick up a giant rock to smash towards you, so time your dodge or parry perfectly to avoid taking damage. Additionally, Yetuga will use a frost breath attack that creates ice spikes; either move out of the way or parry this attack when it reaches you. Seize opportunities to use Potent Attacks, and when Yetuga becomes exhausted, unleash a Brutal Attack to deal substantial damage and bring it down.

Upon defeating Yetuga, you'll be rewarded with 4,800 Lacrima, along with Frozen Mountain gear items and the Necklace of Resolve, making your efforts well worth it.
