Ys X Nordics Boss 26: Naglfar Core
3We go from an annoying Gank boss to... an amazing one.
Difficulty: 8.5/10
Odr Colborne is here and he's gonna make you suffer... unless you adapt which took me until the second phase. Odr cannot be killed so don't even try... well you should probably try a little because breaking his armor stuns him for a few seconds giving you an easy chance to wail on the core. Naglfar Core only really has beam attacks and a pathetic swipe so it plays a more support role while you're fighting Odr. In phase 1 it's completely stationairy. Odr has all the same moves from the first fight except now there's enough room to dodge his f**k off nuke but getting hit is still a death sentence... except...
Phase 2 has the Core swap between five nodes which share the same healthbar and do roughly the same attacks but now it has points where it may spaz out creating some slightly erratic lasers but more likely just spewing off a bit of gas in a sad attempt to defend itself. Odr is also going to start spamming the nuke a lot more often and this is where this fight went from kinda rough and annoying to phenomenal because it clicked... YOU CAN PARRY THE NUKE! And it's got the coolest animation in the game where he chokes Karja and attempts to curse her like Adol but her Berserker blood flares up for a second allowing her to break free then Adol unleashes the phoenix on his ass and instantly destroys any armor he has remaining. This knock down will give you a ton of time to beat down on the core but he will get back up... except you can parry the nuke again and again for guaranteed stuns on Odr albeit only for about 10 seconds now.
Falcom made what is essentially a gank boss AND a generator boss fun... well done. Also make a save before this boss fight because there's no enemies to grind levels against after you destroy the core and there is another fight which while I find a fair bit easier you may not and you don't want to essentially be stuck in a near unwinnable fight.
