How To Beat Varg In Thymesia
Herme’s Castle is the third area in thymesia, and it’s probably one of the simplest. The challenge takes quite a dip, partly because Corvus is nearing the peak of his power and partly because the area is short of mini-bosses. Of course, this is all just a trick, because Varg is hiding in this area.
You may not remember Varg’s name, but you will remember his armored jug. Varg is the first boss you fought in Thymesia – you know, the one who brutally murdered you during the tutorial. Well now it’s time to face him again and this time you have to win. Thankfully, he’s quite the one-trick pony.
Varg’s overview
Varg is a towering mountain of a man who wears one equally hilly sword which he is very much looking forward to ram through your lithe body. What he lacks in character, development and finesse, he more than makes up for powerful swings that can end your life in seconds if you don’t keep at it.
Varg is a brutal fighter, but he is not insurmountable. As a matter of fact, He’s still not on the same level as Odurwhich is stunning considering Odur is the first “real” boss in Thymesia and hasn’t been challenged by a boss since.
Varg’s attacks
Varg has a great sword, a lot of armor, and two whole stages of murdering you. Despite its multi-phase design it doesn’t change much during the transition. That makes him incredibly easy to learnsince you only have to learn its first phase and you will be able to handle its second.
All of Varg’s attacks (except for his ultimate) are countered the same way – distract her. His attacks have a long elevator and come out slow. It’s imposing for its size, but the counter should always assert itself and deflect.

|---|---|
| Forward slash + overhead slam | Varg punches Corvus and then follows up with an overhead slam. |
| Double slash | Varg hits Corvus twice in quick succession with his sword. |
| Overheard + slash + slash | Varg opens with a powerful overhead slam, followed by two slashes. |
| Back Dash + Slash + Stitch | Varg runs away from Corvus, strikes, and then follows with a powerful stab |
| Backward Sprint + Leap Attack | Varg jumps back and immediately launches a jumping attack |
phase two
Phase two is largely identical to phase one. Varg’s attacks remain mostly the same. The main difference is that Varg is now much more aggressive. By this we mean that Varg will attack more often and give you less room to breathe. Not only that, He can combine some of his attacks with other attacks. These aren’t harder to deflect, they only change if you can counter.
Furthermore Varg gains an ultimate attack. He’ll use this attack once phase two begins, and he’ll use it regularly as the fight rages on. The counter to this attack is to retreat. Just unlock and escape from Varg.
