The Slayer

The Slayer is a boss that appears in every act in Grimvalor, including the introduction. You will end up fighting her four times throughout the game.

She is the royal Dragonslayer mentioned in the story book.

Acts: Intro (opt.), II, III, IV

Attack Phases
Phase 1:

Throughout her first half of health, the Slayer has slower attacks and moves a bit slower as well, with the only real danger being her smashes (see strategy below)

Phase 2:

After she has reached halfway, the Slayer gets progressively faster and harder, dodging more of your attacks and hitting with more fast combos, which will catch you off guard if you aren't careful.

In Act III and IV, she will summon a second clone of himself to fight as well. This just means you have to be more alert, and make sure to kill the clone as your first prority.

Strategies

 * When you hear a groan, and see her raise his blade up high, dash very far out of his reach, because he will slam the ground very hard and very far.
 * Throughout most of the first phase, she shouldn't be that hard to chip away at, as long as you remember to dodge through her slower attacks to his opposite side.
 * In terms of her smashes and attacks, you should still be ok in the second phase as long as you can keep up with his constant attacks with your own constant "blipping" (dashing close to him while he is attacking and therefore gaining invincibility for a second)

Rewards

 * The reward if you can beat the Slayer in the introduction (which you only have one shot at) is a sword called Dragonbane with 199 damage and high stun.
