General tips

1. Summon reinforcements during the boss fight by using other players or ashes.
2. The Red Wolf mainly deals magic damage, so equip gear that increases your resistance to magic.
3. Beware of its sword conjuring attacks, which are mainly horizontal.
4. You can block its attacks with a shield, but be careful when the boss jumps in the air. Dodging is safer in this case.

Mage build – how to fight?

The Red Wolf of Radagon is very fast and agile, using magic attacks to follow you. Equip a relatively fast weapon and armor that will protect you from both physical and magic damage. Summon someone to distract the boss, as the Red Wolf is very aggressive and doesn\’t give you much time to cast spells. Ashes that summon multiple units at once, such as wolves or demi-humans, will be helpful.

During the battle, run away to a safe distance and cast as many spells as possible. The boss is quite agile and will dodge as soon as you cast a spell, so use Magic Glintblade and the Carian Slicer/Piercer to your advantage. Beware of the wolf\’s magic attacks, which it fires once the blades materialize. It often jumps immediately after firing swords, so be prepared to dodge twice.

How to Fight with a Melee Build?

To effectively fight with a melee build, try to maintain a moderate distance from the boss during most of the fight. This is because the boss will attack by jumping into the air with a sword in its teeth when you are far away. However, avoiding this attack is relatively easy, so you can use this opportunity to attack the boss while it takes a breather.

However, at this distance, you should be cautious of the boss\’s magical attacks. When three blue clusters of spells appear near the boss, prepare to sprint sideways to avoid the triple shots. This also applies to the single projectile that the boss will shoot.

When the boss shortens the distance, be prepared to dodge a series of attacks, especially its bites. The boss\’s attacks can quickly throw you out of balance, so use a shield for protection.

Try to stay behind the boss\’s back as much as possible. This way, it will be easier to avoid the magic sword\’s attacks and the boss\’s biting attacks. Dodge towards the boss to get behind its back as often as possible.

Be cautious of the one magic attack that materializes in the boss\’s mouth. After that, the boss will jump into the air and release an arrow that deals high damage. You can dodge it by quickly moving to the side or sprinting. A well-timed dodge can also work.

If you need to heal, wait until you\’ve avoided a series of attacks before doing so. If you\’re not comfortable healing during combat, move away across a longer distance and then use the potion.
