Tips
- Open with aggression — free damage before the first howl knockback
- Sits briefly before Body Drop shockwave — evacuate the slam radius immediately
- Orb projectiles are not blockable — dodge sideways, never try to parry
- Antler charge and stomp: stay on flanks or behind, punish the back during recovery
- Loot the tent chest on the left after the kill
