The Best Tips for General Engstrom:

• Recommended Spells: To be Added
• Recommended Items: Burn Cure, Burn Resistance Balm, Animated Vigor Skull

After performing the Crimson Ritual Fervour gesture, General Engstrom will be summoned. He will emerge from the ground and immediately slam his hammers on the ground. General Engstrom moves around the battlefield frequently by dashing, he'll often dash to dodge and create distance between you, or when he wants to get close. He is very nimble, but his attacks are very slow since he's wielding two hammers. His Front Kick and Cross Swing are some of his basic attacks, you can dodge on either side to avoid these advancing attacks. Be careful when he jumps as he will perform the Double Slam, this involves a two-part explosive sequence where he slams his hammers on the ground.

Throughout the fight, General Engstrom will coat his hammers with flames, and prioritize maintaining distance when his hammers are imbued with flames. If you have ranged capabilities, take advantage of them. When he hits you during this phase, it will not only deal physical damage, but burn damage as well. General Engstrom also has a couple of ranged attacks. He often summons orbs around the area, most often near you where you'll get caught within the radius of the blast. These orbs will be summoned and explode after a few seconds. Steer clear from these orbs the moment you see them. Be cautious of the Scorching Spikes as well, a move where a searing trail courses through the ground in your direction leaving a scorching path, the flame then widens before spikes erupt from the ground. This move is initiated when General Engstrom's hand glows. Stay vigilant and anticipate the direction of the flames. Another one of his moves is the Spike Impact, he slams his hammers on the ground, where spikes emerge from the ground in a straight line at first, then extends and forms a "T" formation of spikes. Observe the emerging spike pattern and dodge accordingly. The Inferno Hammer Quake is also a move that involves spikes emerging from the ground. He also slams his hammers on the ground, but this time, the spikes will burst out in six directions. He will throw out this move once in a while throughout the fight, and sometimes the spikes will come out twice even with a single slam on the ground.

As mentioned before, he frequently dashes around the battlefield, the move Phasing Dash both serves as an offensive and defensive maneuver for him. Make sure to observe and be prepared to adjust your positioning frequently to maintain control of the battle. His move the Molten Groundbreaker might be one of his biggest AoE attacks as it covers most of the battlefield. This is where he lifts one of his hammers, before slamming it onto the ground with an earth-shattering force. The impact resonates triggering a wide and scorching AoE where the ground can be seen as a molten inferno. This can easily be dodged though, if timed correctly. He also has the ability to create clones, with his move called Shadow Blitz Assault, as he dashes through the area, he creates clones of himself. These clones will not stay on the battlefield for long, as they will dash toward you while performing a strike one by one. Dodge the clones one at a time to avoid getting hit. His Hammer Barrage is a move where he relentlessly swings his hammers, dealing a barrage of blows. Take advantage of the slow nature of each swing to time your dodges effectively.

After defeating General Engstrom, you'll receive x8 Umbral Scouring and the General Engstrom's Set.

If you want to obtain his weapons, the Judgement and Punishment Hammers, you'll have to perform the Laughter gesture at the giant tree where you summoned him after defeating him.
