Khazan: The First Berserker – A Guide to Defeating the Boss Trokka

Trokka, a formidable main boss in The First Berserker: Khazan, is notorious for her challenging long-range attacks that can frustrate even seasoned players. The timing for her moves is critical, requiring players to be adept at dodging and countering. If you’re prepared for a tough fight, mastering effective combos in your character build will be essential to overcoming this stage. With Trokka marking a significant milestone in the game’s endgame, it’s crucial to hone your skills as you approach the thrilling conclusion of your journey.

Upon successfully defeating Trokka, players are rewarded with components from the Drowned Witch set—arguably among the finest gear sets for spear users within The First Berserker: Khazan. Completing this set grants access to the powerful Tides of Fury skill, enabling Khazan to unleash a wave of spear slashes that not only inflict damage but also absorb stamina from enemies. Additionally, it enhances Khazan’s ranged abilities, further boosting skills like Eagle Wind and Javelin effectiveness.

Where To Find Trokka (Location)

Trokka awaits at the conclusion of the Witch’s Castle mission situated in the Heart of Pell Los, within Lake City Aldevir—a sprawling area filled with various sub-regions. Thorough exploration is advisable, as you will need every advantage you can muster when facing Trokka. Expect to navigate through flooded sections that initially appear inaccessible, hinting at the challenge ahead. To progress, players can drain the water at a floodgate located about halfway through Lake City Aldevir, close to the Floodgate Blade Nexus.

Trokka shows particular vulnerability to Lightning damage. As such, it is recommended to equip the Crushed Dreams set and prepare a lightning-based strategy to maximize your effectiveness in the battle.

While traversing Lake City Aldevir, don’t overlook the opportunity to collect the Bishop’s Scroll from the Submerged Village, enabling you to craft the Bishop’s set later at Khazan’s blacksmith in the Crevice. Additionally, gathering Lightning Enhancers and Concentrated Lightning Essences will prove invaluable in your fight against Trokka. Your encounter will commence just beyond the boss gate at the Lydia’s Garden Blade Nexus.

How To Defeat Trokka (Boss Guide)

Prepare With Lightning Buffs & The Crushed Dreams Set

Trokka Energy Spheres

In battle, Trokka wields a powerful umbrella capable of unleashing devastating ranged attacks, so avoiding her energy blasts and lunges is paramount. She has a variety of moves, utilizing orbs that can cause Frost buildup. To prepare for this encounter, stock up on Concentrated Lightning Essence and Water Cleanse Potions, and consider equipping the Crushed Dreams Set if you specialize in spear combat.

The Crushed Dreams set can be acquired during the side quest “Transcendental Sword”located in Darion Castle. This set provides inherent Lightning Damage when three pieces are equipped, amplifies electrocution damage dealt to foes, and allows Khazan to unlock powerful lightning effects post-brink guard. Moreover, it grants access to the Furious Drive skill, a robust thrusting attack particularly effective when imbued with lightning, making it an ideal choice against Trokka.

Trokka’s Move Set & Windows Of Opportunity

Trokka's Purple Burst Attack
Attack Description How To Avoid
Three Small Spheres A 3-sphere ranged attack with staggered pacing. Can be interrupted, dodged, or guarded.
Three Large Spheres Conjures and fires three large spheres in a row. Must be brink dodged.
Purple Orb Arc Conjures orbs that home in on Khazan. Can be interrupted or brink dodged.
Three Energy Blasts Targets three staggered blasts from her umbrella. Can be interrupted or brink dodged, and guarded for minor damage.
Energy Slash (Phase 2) Unleashes large arcs of energy. Can be interrupted or brink dodged.
Jellyfish Explosion Summons exploding jellyfish in a circle. Can be interrupted or run out of the AoE.
Tidal Wave Slams the umbrella to send a wave toward you. Can be guarded or dodged.
Umbrella Charge Rushes at you while charging her umbrella. Must be brink dodged.
Umbrella Stab Impales you with the umbrella. Must be brink dodged (may be interruptable).
Umbrella Melee Swings her umbrella with great strength. Brink guard or reflect these for easy stamina damage.
Underwater Teleport Dives underwater to emerge at a distance, dealing heavy damage. Dodge or escape the AoE.
Water Swell Creates a damaging swell underneath while close. Dodge or run away to avoid AoE.
Flying Jellyfish (Phase 2 Start) Flies and floods the area with orbs and jellyfish. Dodge or sprint while utilizing blue jellyfish for stamina boost.
Rain Storm Summons rain clouds that inflict water damage. Interrupt with Concentrated Lightning Essence for easy damage.

During the encounter, Trokka enters a second phase characterized by similar attacks, except her behavior becomes more aggressive. Initially, she will fly and circle the arena, unleashing damaging orbs while blue and red jellyfish appear around the perimeter. When dodging these assaults, it is beneficial to run in a single direction to avoid being overwhelmed, utilizing blue jellyfish for stamina restoration.

A prime moment to deal damage is when Trokka summons rain clouds. Throwing a Concentrated Lightning Essence at her during this phase leads to significant damage, depleting her health effectively. Keep moving to avoid the rain while attacking. Bringing a Spirit of Advocacy could disrupt this opportunity, so consider going solo for this encounter.

Upon vanquishing Trokka, players can expect to acquire two random pieces from the Drowned Witch Set, along with a potential Witch’s Tentacle—a crucial crafting material for items within this set. These drops are randomized, which means obtaining crafting materials isn’t guaranteed. In addition, you’ll receive typical rewards including Lacrima, gold, a random weapon or accessory, and some Transmutation Mist.

Overall, Trokka stands out as one of the more challenging bosses in The First Berserker: Khazan. Mastering the timing of her complex moves is vital. Coupled with the right gear, particularly the Crushed Dreams set and a lightning-focused strategy, you can tilt the odds in your favor. If you previously relied on a greatsword, you may need to adapt your approach for this specific boss encounter.
