Upon reaching Linon Mine in The First Berserker: Khazan, players will encounter a series of formidable bosses, including the challenging Yeturak. This boss is essentially a reimagined version of Yetuga, the primary adversary you face early in the game. However, players should not underestimate Yeturak despite their shared characteristics; it possesses a unique arsenal of attacks and inflicts significantly greater damage than its predecessor.
If Yetuga served as the initial test of your capabilities within The First Berserker: Khazan, Yeturak elevates this challenge considerably. With an aggressive demeanor and faster attack patterns, Yeturak can leave players vulnerable with its strong hits, potentially leading to defeat. This boss awaits in Linon Mine during the optional mission “Escaping Linon Mine,”which comes after the encounter with the formidable Shactuka.
Strategies for Defeating Yeturak: Identifying Weaknesses
Overwhelming Yeturak with Combos



Yeturak shares similarities with Yetuga, but with an upgraded damage output. Avoiding damage is crucial because Yeturak can quickly deplete your health. Although it exhibits more aggression and faster attacks compared to Yetuga, players now have a wider range of tools and strategies at their disposal for building combos. A barrage of quick attacks can easily stagger Yeturak, providing windows for significant damage as it tumbles onto its back.
While Yeturak may execute devastating slow attacks, many of these can be impeccably timed for parries or reflections, maximizing stamina damage. If you master this timing, a successful reflection—especially if deployed with a spear build—can critically diminish Yeturak’s stamina bar. However, be on your guard, for Yeturak’s icy hand attack can deliver massive damage and inflict frost buildup, making timing essential.
Yeturak’s Key Attacks to Avoid & Counter
Lunges & Ice Breath Attacks






Among Yeturak’s notable attacks is its ice breath, which creates an opening for counterattacks. The boss unleashes a freezing breath attack in a broad lateral sweep across the battlefield but remains stationary during this move. If you successfully evade the ice, you can either launch a Concentrated Fire Essence or execute a series of damaging combos from behind.
Crafting Concentrated Essence for every significant status type is possible at the blacksmith in the Crevice, using Spirit Orbs, Transmutation Shards, and gold. Yeturak also performs a dramatic chest-thumping move before lifting a massive ice chunk, which it jumps and slams down. Dashing away at this moment is essential to avoid fatal damage. Additional attacks to look out for are Yeturak’s lunges with a zooming animation, projectiles of snow, and powerful charge attacks. Its overhead fist slam can deal considerable damage if timed poorly; however, a well-executed reflection can flip the tide.
Rewards for Conquering Yeturak
Discover the Frozen Mountain Set



Defeating Yeturak yields two random pieces from the coveted Frozen Mountain Set—a defensive spear ensemble designed to enhance health recovery, endurance, and stamina damage mitigation among various benefits. Additionally, players may obtain the key crafting material known as the Frozen Mountain Ruler’s Horn, alongside a random weapon, accessory, and a generous sum of Lacrima and gold.
Though nailing the timing of Yeturak’s attacks may require multiple attempts, successfully parrying these moves offers prime chances for counterattacks. The Frozen Mountain scroll, found in Linon Mine No. 2 during “Escaping Linon Mine,”allows players to craft the full Frozen Mountain set at the blacksmith once materials are collected. Farming Yeturak for the set pieces or materials is highly recommended, as the subsequent boost to spear defense is invaluable in upcoming endgame fights. The Frozen Mountain Gear Set adapts well to various spear playstyles, and once you comprehend Yeturak’s pattern, farming becomes notably manageable.
Additionally, players can purchase three Frozen Mountain Ruler’s Horns from Danjin, the Jar Enthusiast, for a certain amount of Lacrima.
In summary, Yeturak stands out as one of the most damage-intensive bosses encountered thus far in The First Berserker: Khazan, challenging players effectively. While mastering the staggered attack timings may be daunting, capitalizing on these moments to unleash powerful counter-combos is vital. Utilize Khazan’s Phantom form to increase your effectiveness during combat against Yeturak, facilitating easier victories.
