The First Berseker: Khazan Boss Fights Showcased in Latest Trailer

A new gameplay trailer for The First Berserker: Khazan showcases intense boss battles and hints at a powerful Awakened form for the protagonist. This article delves into the revealed boss fights and explores the potential mechanics of Khazan's transformation.

Epic Boss Encounters Revealed

The trailer, unveiled at IGN Fan Fest on February 27th, 2025, features Khazan facing off against a diverse range of formidable foes. One standout encounter pits him against a mysterious umbrella-wielding boss, seemingly a key figure in the game's narrative, as a brief cutscene precedes the battle. While HUD details remain obscured, the sheer spectacle promises a challenging fight. Two additional bosses are identified: Shactuka, a wolf-like creature, and the Specter of Bhangau, a ram-like beast wielding a hammer and spike.

Khazan's Awakened Form: A Potential Game Changer

The trailer's most exciting reveal is a glimpse of Khazan's apparent Awakened form. This transformation sees him shedding his samurai aesthetic for a red-glowing, fully armored appearance, granting him access to a wider array of devastating attacks and enhanced speed.

While the trailer demonstrates Khazan's mastery of blocking, parrying, and rapid-fire combos, his attacks against the bosses seem to inflict only minimal damage, emphasizing the game's Souls-like challenge. This Awakened form, though unconfirmed by developers, appears designed to unleash significantly increased damage output and facilitate extended, intricate combo sequences using diverse weaponry.

The First Berserker: Khazan offers a free demo on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, allowing players to experience the first two missions. The full game launches March 27th, 2025, on the same platforms. Stay tuned for further updates!
