Gortoel

Gortoel is a giant titan, appearing in Infinity Blade I. Gortoel is a Deathless, and one of the three Deathless Kings imprisoned in the Dungeon under the Temple of Lantimor. His cell is accessed via the furthest right door of the Dungeon after the obelisk is activated using The Infinity Blade. Gortoel is initially fought at level 100. Only by restarting the game in Bloodline 1 or NewGame+ can Gortoel be fought again.
==Loaction==
Gortoel can be found in the aptly named Gortoel's Soul Cell. He is also found on Round 17 in Survival Mode. Gortoel also returned in ClashMobs in Infinity Blade II and Infinity Blade III .
==Appearance==
Appearing as a large troll-like creature, Gortoel is the only Deathless King who appears to lack intelligence. He also seems to feed on his opponents after he defeats them, as seen by the bones lying around the room. Upon entering Gortoel's room, he walks towards Siris, reaching over to take a pole with a skeleton tied to it to use as a weapon. After a few furious howls later, he is ready for combat.
==Combat==
Gortoel is a and has a very similar fighting style to the other Giant Titan found in Infinity Blade I. Gortoel can be defeated with relative ease, even at a lower level thanks to the Infinity Blade's high damage output. The Dragoor Blade can also be a remarkably effective weapon if you obtained it from Ealoseum, as Gortoel lacks resistance to Fire. But, if you are still having trouble, there are various strategies to defeat him documented below.
 
===Stepbacks===
Gortoel has three Stepbacks.
Bash and Slam
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback Gortoel moves back slightly, before doing a two-handed club hit from the right, then follows up with a quick punch and slash from the left, before finishing off with a downward strike. 
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways. The most optimal is to dodge to the right, then, right before Gortoel follows up with his other attacks, a stab prompt will appear on Gortoel's chest, hitting it will allow you to interrupt his Stepback and deal extra damage. Alternatively, one can dodge to the right to avoid the two-handed club hit, and then block to avoid the left punch and slash, and then dodge to the left or right to avoid the final hit. If you're having trouble with either of these then holding shield will also work, it's just the least efficient sense it will give you the least amount of time to strike back, and Gortoel can still deal damage sense he has attacks, provided you don't have a defense shield.

Bash and Slam 2
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback Gortoel opens with a quick punch and slash from the left, then does 3 overhead slams in quick succession.
This Stepback can be done in multiple ways, the most optimal is to block the first punch and the first slash, then dodge the next two overhead slams, right before Gortoel delivers his third and final slam, a Stab Icon will appear on his chest, hitting it will allow you to interrupt the Stepback and deal extra damage. Alternatively, you block twice to avoid the first two attacks since they can't be dodged, then dodge in any direction to avoid the last three attacks.

Jump and Head-butt
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Steoback Gortoel jumps backwards, and then jumps forwards landing in the center, he then finishes with a headbutt to the center.
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways, the most optimal is to dodge in either direction to avoid his jumping crush, then when Gortoel raises his head to go for the head-butt, a Stab prompt will appear on his stomach, hitting it will allow you to interrupt his Stepback and deal extra damage. Alternatively, dodging to the left or right for both attacks will allow you to avoid this Stepback with ease. Shielding is not advisable here, as the crush can go through your guard, so if you are going to shield, make sure you time it well, and remember that Gortoel can still deal damage sense he has attacks, provided you don't have a defense shield.

===Combat tips===
Gortoel, being a higher level enemy, deals the most raw damage of any of the Deathless Kings. Unlike other Large Enemies, he is significantly faster and deals additional damage, so equipping a shield defending against this, such as the Phoenix Guard, Cloven, The Maiden, or Vulcanis, is highly recommended. Dodging his attacks is an easy, but prolonged way to defeat him. If you are fast enough to parry his attacks, this is also recommended.  
He is immune to , , , and , so the ideal weapon to equip would be the Infinity Blade, or a or type weapon such as the Dragoor Blade. Upon defeat, Gortoel drops the Dragoor Bone, a shield with +65 to Shield, and immunities to , , and .
