Aside from the ranged attacks, the Woe-Bringer has a number of special unblockable attacks, similar to Kjotve.
However, since the Woe-Bringer is wielding a two-handed axe, he’s much slower than Kjotve. This can be capital-
ized on whenever the Woe-Bringer is done with one of the special attacks, leaving you plenty of time to take oppor-
tunity of this vulnerable stage with a series of light and heavy attacks.

Look out for the red aurora, indicating an incoming special attack. (left), When the Woe-Bringer is weak, strike the
weak points to finish him off. (right)
When the Woe-Bringer is brought down to about a quarter of his health, he’ll throw his two-handed axe directly at
you. This has the potential to inflict devastating damage, so you’ll need to be prepared to evade it. Without his two-
handed axe, the Woe-Bringer isn’t much of a threat. Aim for his arms, which are now vulnerable, for an instant kill.
As soon as he’s down you can climb over the walls and open the inner gate. All you need do now is head northeast
to the temple entrance.
At the temple you’ll find Gorm, Kjotve’s son, who will flee from the upper levels. Climb up to chase him, but don’t
worry if you’re slow. A brief cutscene will follow as soon as you’re outside, ending with Gorm fleeing the battle.
You can now speak with Sigurd to end the quest.
