Boss fight[]

Shiv's main attack is to charge at his opponent and delivers either a single strike or a two hit combo slash with his massive knife. This attack does solid damage and can cut through shield and health quickly if hit repeatedly. It can be avoided by keeping distance and as he stops moving while attacking.

If his opponent is some distance away, he may perform a ground pound, splitting the ground open and sending a fissure toward them. This attack deals moderate damage as well as some knockback. It can be dodged by jumping over or to the side.

If an opponent is nearby, he may perform a spinning attack that deals moderate damage and knockback. This attack has a short wind up and can be avoided by moving out of the way.

There are also a number of hazards in his arena, such as explosive barrels and generators, that can be used to quickly reduce his health.
