I kept luring him over to the stairs and running up them, he ran into the fire almost every time and killed himself.

1. kill the first 3 undead with the shields
2. aggro the boar
3. run back to the corridor with the ladder
4. he will start to walk away because he can’t fit
5. run out quickly and perform a backstab
6. repeat

Sometimes you miss the backstab and he will turn around to charge at you, what you do then is roll backwards into the corridor again. Other times (rarely) he will just kick backwards with his hind legs like a horse. You can get away from this, again, by rolling backwards.

I only had to backstab him twice and he was dead so this way, in my opinion, is the quickest and easiest. You might also get a good laugh out of the backstab animation because you stab him right up his butt

At the first try I’ve killed him in no time: clear the zombies, get down the stairway and attack him when he give his back, don’t worry ‘coz he’s too big to get you behind the columns. I’ve felt kinda sorry for the guy, since the animation was my spear getting deep in his ass, but it made me laugh too.

I just man’d up and ass-stabbed it twice with the Drake. It was, by far, one of the easiest enemies to kill.

In reply to King Isen. This is probably the intended strategy.

This boss is bugged, actually. You can kill him without even using your weapon. And you don’t even have to kill the skeletons upstairs to do it.

When you enter the room, kill the pike guy and the skeleton that charges. Go over to the bottom of the stairs to your right and inch forward a little at a time. Eventually the boar will aggro and run right into the fire. Roll away (backwards). The second skeleton will aggro. Kill it. Go back to the bottom of the stairs – the boar will have retreated to its original position. Aggro it again and it’ll charge into the fire again. It can’t hit you with its charge when you are by the stairs. Do this about 4 times and he’s dead. No sword play involved at all.

Yeah, aggro the boar into charging through the fire and he will go down without you even having to touch him.

I just lead the boar into the near by fire and it drained all his life off, I didnt have to touch him once.

Kill all the zombies, grab the skulls by the archer, then proceed to toss them towards the burning object. He then runs towards it causing massive damage.
