How To Beat Gurthka (Act 1 Final Boss) in Ninja Gaiden Ragebound

The first thing you’ll notice that’s different in this fight is the environmental hazards. There are spikes along the walls and a fire pit right in the center. Touching either will make you take damage, so avoid them at all costs. Apart from the hazards, you also need to watch out for Gurthka’s attacks, which we’ve shared below:
- Ground Slam: Gurthka will fly from side to side and crash down at you, sending out fireballs in both directions. Dodge while he’s hovering in midair to evade the crash. You can then quickly jump on the ledge above to avoid the fireballs.
- Claw Swipe: Gurthka will fly side to side before quickly turning around and swiping with his claws, launching three fireballs at you. Stay a foot’s distance away from the edge of the arena to avoid this attack.
- Fire Breath: The boss will breathe flames that cover 90% of the arena. Stay at the other end to avoid this.
- Fire Geyser: Gurthka will perform his ground slam attack and immediately follow it up by charging. As soon as he finishes charging, fire geysers will sprout from the ground, launching flames into the air. You can see the outlines of the flames before they sprout, so avoid those to stay safe.
