How to beat Forest Ancient in GoW Ragnarok
Those who have faced Forest Ancient already once know that its body is impenetrable. However, there are some weak spots that you can target to cause massive damage. Forest Ancient launches projectiles from its chest causing a considerable amount of damage. So, make sure to roll out of the way or shield yourself if there’s an incoming attack. A perfect defense against Forest Ancient is the first step towards beating him in GoW Ragnarok.
The next step should be targeting the weaker spot, its open chest. Whenever Forest Ancient is about to launch a projectile through its chest, you will get a small opening wherein you can use Leviathan Axe to hit it. It might take only 2-3 blows of Leviathan Axe to stun the Forest Ancient. This is when you can use the Special R3 attack to cause lethal damage. Repeating it multiple times will result in the defeat of Forest Ancient in GoW Ragnarok.
Also, keep a note that this creature launches some orbs that cause damage if you get hit. Although, if it doesn’t, you can pick it up and throw it on the Forest Ancient to stun him.
