	Velgar is a [[Dragonwilds:power level]] 4 boss monster of [[Dragonwilds:Ghornfell]], he will be difficult to defeat without wearing power level 4 (first time) or higher gear (multiple encounters) and being prepared.

			As Velgar is the first true boss to be fought, he can be defeated by one or more players in either Normal or Hard mode.

	His main attacks are '''Claw Slam''', '''Claw Strike''', '''Bite''', '''Head Swing''', and '''Dragon Breath (Poison)'''. He will only attempt to bite or use his claw strike attacks against you if you are within melee range (close range), but can slam the ground to send earthen spikes towards you or use his dragon breath attack to generate a poisonous area in a cone shape from his direction. Each time his health is reduced by roughly 25%, until reaching the final 25%, Velgar will fly up into the sky and rain down poison barrages that will land where there are red-orange circles on the ground. Avoid being within the circles to getting severely damaged as they will sometimes overlap and damage you multiple times.

			==== Other Consumables and Ammunition ====
			[[Dragonwilds:Potions]], [[Dragonwilds:Whetstone\|Whetstones]], and [[Dragonwilds:Magical Focus]]:

			* [[Dragonwilds:Lesser Antipoison Potion]] provides the Fungal Fortitude perk, which stacks up and helps against Velgar poison attacks.
			* [[Dragonwilds:Lesser Magic Potion]] if using [[Dragonwilds:Magic]] and [[Dragonwilds:Lesser Attack Potion]] if using [[Dragonwilds:Attack]], but note that only one potion effect can be active at once, so you must choose between these and the [[Dragonwilds:Antifire Potion]].

			* [[Dragonwilds:Enchant Weapon: Air]] increases the attack speed and damage of your equipped melee weapon if using [[Dragonwilds:Attack]].
			* [[Dragonwilds:Enchant Weapon: Fire]] applies burning effect on enemies.
			* Although [[Dragonwilds:Spectral Arrows]] primary purpose is to enable arrows to pierce, it also increases their damage done, and is worth maintaining over the course of the fight if using [[Dragonwilds:Ranged]].
			* Lastly, don't forget to use [[Dragonwilds:Internal Alchemy]] to maintain your [[Dragonwilds:Infusion]] and [[Dragonwilds:Food]] [[Dragonwilds:Perks]] if they are going to fall off during the fight, and use [[Dragonwilds:Magical Mending]] to keep your gear ship-shape in the event of your death or while farming.

[[File:Fighting Velgar - Earth Spikes.png\|thumb\|right\|Velgar's earth spike attacks.]]As Velgar is the first true boss to be fought, he can be defeated by one or more players in either Normal or Hard mode.
	~~Velgar~~ main attacks are his ~~hands slam,~~ claw strike~~, bite and head swing when in~~ melee range~~. His poison breath and~~ earthen spikes ~~when~~ in ~~range~~.
	Velgar ~~has 4 phases. At the end of phase 1 - 3 he~~ will fly into the ~~air~~ and rain poison ~~around~~ the ~~arena~~, ~~forcing~~ you to ~~evade them~~. ~~Pay attention~~ to the ~~ground for a red~~-~~orange ring,~~ and ~~avoid being in it~~.		His main attacks are '''Claw Slam''', '''Claw Strike''', '''Bite''', '''Head Swing''', and '''Dragon Breath (Poison)'''. He will only attempt to bite or use his claw strike attacks against you if you are within melee range (close range), but can slam the ground to send earthen spikes towards you or use his dragon breath attack to generate a poisonous area in a cone shape from his direction. Each time his health is reduced by roughly 25%, until reaching the final 25%, Velgar will fly up into the sky and rain down poison barrages that will land where there are red-orange circles on the ground. Avoid being within the circles to getting severely damaged as they will sometimes overlap and damage you multiple times.

			You will also need to make sure that you time your attacks, dodges, and evasions properly as panicking will cause you to potentially be hit by Velgar's attacks. Another thing to be cautious about is that if you run low on the [[Dragonwilds:Antipoison]] potion effect or the [[Dragonwilds:Fungal Fortitude]] food perk as Velgar's poison-based attacks will rapidly poison you and make you lose roughly 4 health per second until cured.

	Velgar can easily be taken down by just standing on the horn's holder; by standing on it, you will evade close combat and ground spikes that do a lot of damage, but you will absorb poison damage, ~~which requires healing. It is recommended to use~~ the ~~highest healing~~ food you ~~can cook~~ to ~~lessen~~ the ~~usage of needing to eat. During Velgar's~~ rain ~~poison attacks~~, ~~it is possible to be knocked off from the horn's holder~~ if you ~~are using the strategy~~ to ~~stand on it. If you are knocked off, simply run and jump back on it. Damage increases significantly from ground spikes in the last phase because Velgar will use three spikes at a time instead of one~~.		=== Pedestal strategy ===

			Velgar can be easily taken down by just standing on the horn's holder; by standing on it you will evade close combat and ground spikes that do a lot of damage, but you will absorb poison damage, so having the lesser antipoison and food helps. The only time you will need to jump off is to dodge the poison rain, if you're willing to dodge them.

	~~Air magic is very effective against Velgar because it excels at high single-target damage. You can defeat Velgar even faster with~~ the ~~usage~~ of ~~potions that buffs your magic critical chance hits~~ and ~~using Magic armor for~~ the ~~set effect of casting Magic attacks faster~~. ~~If you are standing on~~ the ~~horn's holder~~, it ~~is recommended to wear Magic armor for~~ the ~~best defense against his rain poison attacks if it ever directly hits you~~.		The pedestal will vanish the moment the battle starts, so in order to do this strategy, players will first require to have a lodestone in front of the boss entrance, start the encounter as normal then teleport out of the boss instance by pausing the game and pressing the "X" key. There, they can use the lodestone once again to teleport to the boss entrance, enter it and the fight will begin with the pedestal back. If done this right, the pedestal should reappear and stay.
