Iron Wayfarer Fight Guide
- The Iron Wayfarer has just his large hammer that he will use to smash the ground
- Eventually this hammer will start emitting fire and leave pools of lava around the area wherever it hits
- Initially you only have to deal with his regular hammer swings. He can repeatedly smash the area where you stand, or swing and smash the hammer to the ground
- When his hammer changes to add fire, he can perform fiery melee attacks and even ranged attacks.
- His hammer can spew flames in front of him. Dodge when you see this happen
- While he may be cumbersome in his attacks, the Iron Wayfarer can deal damage continuously.
- He can also roll around and dodge your attacks if you are on to him
- Because of the limited space on the bridge, you need to be extra aggressive on your approach
- Keep at him at all times and try to put a couple of hits before rolling away.
- If his weapon turns to fire, keep avoiding him till it turns back to a regular hammer
- If you can manage, you can try to dodge his fire melee attacks and hit him
- Keep dodging and hitting, even if it is a single hit, then roll away and repeat
- He will take time to run towards you if you are further away. You can use this time to switch to spells or ranged attacks and hit him
