Now you will have to fight the Ashen Brute. This multi-headed fire breathing
monster is a royal pain in the butt. Not only does he do a lot of damage, but
if you let either of the devices on the sides of the room get over 95%, they
will begin to heal him. But there is a trick to this. Let them get to 90% and
then use it rapidly, just before it begins to heal him. They will actually drop
some health and mana for YOU. This will help make fighting him a bit easier.
Now his attacks consist of flame breathing, pincer hits with the things that
are on his head and a flaming back kick. Dodge or block the fire and pincer
hits but you cannot block the flaming kick. My advice is to keep moving and hit
him when he begins to spit fire, but attack him only from the sides. If you
stay in his face, he will catch you with his fire breath. If you go behind him
he will belt you in the head with his unblockable back kick. My advice is to
set up a rhythm of dodging, hitting him, flicking the machine once it gets to
90% and then dodging, hitting him, hitting the other machine and then repeating
this. It will not be slow, likely taking at least 20 minutes, but he will go
down with some effort.
When it finally dies, take a breather and then pick up the greaves it dropped.
Now make your way through the door that its death opened up. You will soon find
the final valve. Quest complete!
