Strategy Writeup
This boss's attack can break the environment objects like walls and can spawn ads from breaking the urns in his shack. The best strategy is try to maintain a medium distance from him and fire to his unarmored areas. When at a distance, he can perform three kinds of moves: The belly strike, the weapon leap and the weapon throw. If he closes distance dodge backwards.
There's a great oportunity to some damage when he throws his hammer, as he will always go retrieve It and give the player his back for a couple of seconds, where you can capitalize on his weak spot on his butt.
When he tries to us hammer whirlwind, run in a wide circle until the attack ends and then finish him off.
Attacks & Counters
| Attack | Counter |
| Phase 1 | |
| Weapon Leap: Jumps into the air from a distance striking you with his weapon | Try to wait until he is about to land, then dodge forward and you will be behind him. Use the opportunity to attack his butt dealing additional damage. |
| Belly Strike: He can leap forward striking with his belly | Try to dodge to either side |
| Three Hit Combo: Can perform a three hit combo with long reach | Try to run away from him when the combo starts, when it finishes take a few shots to the head to deal extra damage |
| Weapon Whirlwind: He swings his weapon like a whirlwind dealing damage and destroying all structures | Try to run away from him in a wide circle. Wait until the attack ends and attack him. You can guide him to hit the adds and make your life easier. |

AnonymousHis alt fight is literally one of the best boss fights in this game. There are few bosses that depend on their various moveset rather than millions of summoned ads. Btw the easiest way to deal with his series of AOE attacks is by using neutral dodge. If u have some troubles with timings, you can wear the ring of evasion in order to correct your mistakes with additional I-frames and faster animation.

Of all the bosses in this game, this one screams Dark Souls reference more than any other. A butcher who is about twice as tall as you, super fat, with weird but predictable melee combos, throw his weapon sometimes, and his weakpoint is his massive butt. I'm an expert at crotchgoblin warfare.

Where is his boss crate? Ixillis has 4 and they're all in obvious spots. If the reality is that there is no crate, **** this guy completely.

He looked like a pretty hard boss, until I accidentally shoot his booty. I'd never think of his ass as a weakpoint

playing the game blind for the first time. my review of this boss is: worst man i have ever met. stinky bastard man. -20/10, he embodies everything i hate about this godforsaken swamp
it was horrifying. all i could do was run from him during his spinning hammer. the one good thing about how big his reach is, is that he can kill his own minions. i was forced to equip my sniper rifle and, whenever he was in regular mode, ENTER CLOSE QUARTERS COMBAT and let him take a swing at me. I dodge forward, slipping behind him. the only weakspot i could find on him was his ass. literally his cheeks. I was dodging behind this man and simultaneously switching weapons so I could slap his jiggly ass with a single bullet and then start the whole process over. I am not sure if I just had the best fight of my life or the goddamn worst one.

This page needs more info about his alt fight, because it's COMPLETELY different. The bastard goes from a complete walkover to one of the most BS bosses in the entire game just because of that stupid hammer smash attack. Also, he once one-shotted me by following up the hammer smash with an INSTANTANEOUS hammer throw that didn't even have an animation telegraph, and I'm genuinely uncertain of whether it was just the most BS attack in the game being made MORE BS, or whether it was actually a legitimate bug that caused him to skip his animations.

I had problems with the alt kill beacuse of those hammer slams so i put on my heaviest armor and all the damage reduction rings and amulets that i had plus healing aura mod on my primary weapon and like that i killed him but it was still very difficult

Neutral dodge his ground slam attacks when going for the alt kill. As soon as he begins his downswing, hit the dodge button.
Neutral dodge gives you plenty of time to recover and maybe even get a shot in if he isn't doing his swings in quick succession.

His butt is a weakpoint. Shoot it when he reaches for his hammer or when it spins

His weakpoint is his ass, you could say clappin' some cheeks got a whole new meaning with this bad boy

Stumbled on a cheese way to kill him easy for the Hammerhead ore. Drop an iron sentential in front of his second weapon
in the wall by the stairs, when he goes to get the weapon he can get stuck on the iron sentential and just keep running in
place.

Instead of his head, it appears that his ass has become his weakpoint, shoot him in the booty.

did the alt kill but the game didn't give me a pop up for the hammerhead ore. I was still able to buy the flail even without that item in my inventory.

lol! this is such a fun boss design. unavoidable AoE stagger with ranged attack that will kill you in one combo. Super exciting gameplay by devs that clearly know how to design awesome boss fights.

He really pulled out so many f*cking moves with his axe(s), I literally was behind him after he did a slam attack and was about to hit him but he threw the axe behind and hit me dead on, and his slams are so deadly for the fact they hit everywhere below.

He's quite easy once you get a hang of it. Watch out for his ground slam tho, it has a bit of a delay to roll-caught you, took me a few tries. But hey, at least he's not total BS like Gorefist and summon the entire population of China's worth of minions to fight you.

God damn stupid 4x ground slam entire arena attack piece of dung ffs...
If I get hit once, on normal, with 18 gear score, I only have 35% hp left with maxed out Vitality so if I fail 1 dodge on the ground slam phase I'm a goner, god damn it!

The boss is fairly simple, just dive / dodge "in to" his attacks beside him, the hammer has a hit box that's way infront. Then turn around and shoot the bastard in the ass (his weak spot), this also keeps him more in one place and a friend can take out minions and do damage from afar as he breaks down all the walls during the fight.

So the guide is wrong, on the alt-kill stage he has an extra attack where he slams the ground 3-4 times and thes launches his weapon at you. This ground pound strikes the whole stage if i'm not mistaken

Try to get the alt kill, but when entering his hut it seems his is already agro'd. and the door way to the stairs are blocked. How do you enter his hut without agro-ing him?

To get the alt kill you need to sneak into his basement and hide inside a cauldron. That will trigger an alt fight that will reward you the material for the flail.

Name and appearance is quite interesting. Warhammer 40k reference?

adds make this bossfight hell but a shotgun and spitfire combo works pretty well along with scrapper armor, i put mender's aura on it just in case but i recommend going with hotshot and using frenzy dust

I let him throw the hammer into the forge, nothing happened. I made him use hisBelly strike infront of the forge, nothing happened. I killed him while his hammer was on the ground, nothing happened.

Here’s a thought...anyone try that...hammer looking thing...on his head? That piece in the middle looks like a target to me

Has anyone found a way for the alternative kill? To get the hammerheads Ore for the Butchers flail?

Maybe we best break the hammer on his head? if u look closely to butcher's flail looks like the top of his head

Just fought him with Hunting Pistol (+ Blink Token) to nuke him down with headshots, and blink away when he rushes me. Used Sporebloom to AOE the adds. Made the fight quite easy.

For the Butcher's Flail i have tried to shoot the arm, the hammer when it's thrown no damage on the thrown hammer. Maybe you guys should try to shoot his belly.

I was helping someone fight this boss and I could have sworn the hammer took damage when shot. I could be wrong but I think the hammer head ore is a piece of his weapon.

i saw someone today with it, i am sure its have to do with the boss helmet, the flail have the same emblem on it, but with my friends we failed to destroy the helmet by shooting it only ( armor piece so you deal less damages to the boss) maybe it have to do with the cauldron in the corner of the room, you have to make him jump into it / breack it

There's an Boss Iten called Butcher's Flail, maybe it's an alternative drop from him.
The Alt fight is really stupid, but you can break it in an equally stupid way. With the root hollow and the dog summons. When he throws his axe and trys to pick one up, they will block him and will continously walk into them. Set up can be hard though.
