Fight with the Manticore | Chapter 9: Ice Caverns GoW: Ascension Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

At the top you find the Manticore. The encounter has two phases.

In the first one, beast will be flying and firebreaths, from time to time landing and attacking with tail or wings. When it flies, avoid the fire by jumping aside and try to attack when it floats in one place.

When Manticore lands, make quick combos. Especially avoid tail attacks. On the ground, boss won't be running after you - it's you who has to initiate a fight. Try to provoke him to attack and after dodging it, make few blows.

The phase ends with stunning the beast. After a grab you begin fighting the chained enemy. Attack it with one hand and avoid its attacks by leaning out. At the very end, you eliminate its wings and ground it for good.

Crippled beast won't fly and remain passive. You'll still have to initiate fights. In this phase, Chimera starts summoning little dragons what complicates the fight. As the boss won't move, you can take them aside and eliminate and then return to fight with the Chimera.

When you stun the boss, grab it. The fight on the ground begins. Make fast hits and avoid its tail to finish it.

Now you can use a lever on the tower's top and go to the temple after a cut scene.
