Varg

Varg is the sixth boss in Thymesia and boss of the Hermes Fortress. As the first of the elite guard to receive Pure Blood and bearing the fearsome "Grey Armor" title, he's incredibly strong, but the extended upkeep of this Blessing has eaten away at his soul.
Varg also serves as the "boss" of the tutorial stage. However, the player is not expected to win that fight.
__TOC__
== Behavior ==
Despite his huge size, Varg is highly mobile and his attacks cover a lot of ground. While you can easily dodge out of his attacks, he can quickly close the gap on you. That said, his Giant Sword attacks have a lot of wind-up and can be easily worked around.
If you're keeping him at range, ensure you have Long Dodge Lv1 to zip out of his attacks and Feather Dash Lv3 or Long Claw Lv3 to close the gap. Watch out for his leaping strike.
If you're taking him on up-close, parry his attacks and then follow-up with Short Claw Lv2 after he's done his two-swing combo. He's also got enough of a rest period post-combo for both hits of Long Claw Lv3 to connect. He may zip out of your range in a semi-circular slide, but don't rush, as he'll close back in on you with a circular swing and a forward thrust, both easily parried.
When Varg enters his second phase, he signals this with his own Ultimate — he'll roar, then lunge at Corvus. If this connects, he will grab and throw Corvus into the ground for a hefty amount of damage. However, he has a very long wind-up with his roar, giving you more than ample time to get out of range. Varg's other attacks remain the same, so stick to your usual strategy and he'll go down soon enough.
To get the "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" achievement, you'll need to empty Varg's first health bar in the tutorial. Without the benefit of any levels or Talents, you basically have to learn to parry Varg before getting a Claw attack in. Stay patient, dodge Varg's leap, and repeat this cycle until Varg goes down. He'll still floor Corvus and knock him out afterwards, sending him to the Philosopher's Hill.
== Rewards ==
The rewards are 7600 Memory Shards, Varg's Core, a Forgotten Feather, and some Giant Sword Skill Shards.
