No Rest for the Wicked Warrick the Torn Boss
No Rest for the Wicked is a game that tries to mix game mechanics that derive from both the Diablo and Dark Souls series. However, when it comes to boss fights, the clearest references are certainly to the FromSoftware series. Furthermore, since this is the first boss and therefore you may not yet be very familiar with how the various game mechanics work, you may have more difficulties.
The first thing to know is that Warrick the Torn is a very agile boss and that he will launch many attacks in a very short amount of time. Consequently, not only will you have to be ready to dodge constantly, but you will also have to choose the right weapon. In fact, in this case, using a two-handed weapon is definitely a bad choice. Not only because it is a slow weapon that leaves you exposed for a long time (as well as having a high miss chance), but it will also consume a lot of stamina.
For these reasons, you will have to opt for a classic sword or a double dagger to be able to land more hits in less time and to make sure you don’t run out of stamina too soon. In fact, in this first No Rest for the Wicked boss fight, it is very important that you regulate your stamina well and try not to run out of steam in the worst moments.
As for the boss’s attacks themselves, they are all very fast and can be a little difficult to dodge at first. We advise you not to use the parry in this case because you will have to have perfect timing; otherwise, you will only take a lot of damage. As a result, the safest and easiest-to-use alternative you have is dodging, which can be used for virtually all of Warrick the Torn’s attacks.
The attacks you will have to pay particular attention to are the charged ones and the aerial ones. Both, fortunately, are very easy to spot. As for the former, the boss, after having landed a combo of fast attacks up close, will quickly move to the other side of the arena to charge an attack with a very high range. Learn the timing well and it will be easy to dodge it to the side.
As for the air attacks, however, they are also simple to identify because you will see the boss jump and then move into the area and land in a different area. Luckily for you, these attacks are pretty easy to avoid, but if you can’t, they will take away a large amount of your health.
For the rest, this No Rest for the Wicked boss will make use of a series of very fast combos that you will have to continuously dodge (or if you are capable of it, you can risk the parry in this situation). Of course, always keep an eye on your stamina. Finally, another thing we want to tell you is that the arena, on its right side, has a precipice, so try not to fall involuntarily while trying to escape the boss’ attacks.
Ultimately, in order to defeat the No Rest for the Wicked Warrick the Torn boss, you will have to base your entire strategy on the use of light and fast weapons and on dodging, and then attack in the short cooldown moments that the boss will have between combo and the other. If you manage to adapt this strategy, you will be able to defeat him. Of course, don’t forget to fill up on foods that can restore your health.
Once you have managed to defeat the boss, you will receive rewards (as it should be). However, we cannot tell you what they are because the loot will be random. Consequently, each player will have different items from the others. In any case, we are sure that what you receive will be useful to you, especially since you are at the beginning of the game.
