How to beat Chapalania in Forspoken
As you wander through the ruins in Chapter 2, defeating basic enemies and opening treasure chests along the way, you’ll eventuallyreach a clearing and be cornered by Chapalania, a giant, bloodthirsty bear searching for its next meal. The first thing you’ll want to do when you encounter Chapalania is tolock on to it(R3on PS5) so that the camera moves when you do and ensures the miniboss is in your sight at all times. At this point in the story, you won’t have unlockedForspoken’s dodge mechanic, so taking your eyes off the beast for a split second could mean the difference between life and death.
Chapalania’s fight is pretty simple, but you mustconstantly moveto avoid swipes and lunges, as it can attack quickly.Fire your Burst Shot while you move aroundand slowly chip away at its health. You can also immobilize it for a couple of seconds byusing Frey’s Bind spell, giving you a window tospam your Burst Shot for extra damage.

Once its HP bar is around two-thirds empty, you’ll be able to get close and strike the foe with aKiller Blow which, if it doesn’t kill it, will inflict massive damage, at which point you can finish Chapalania off witha few well-aimed Burst Shots.
