How to unlock the The Castle achievement in Salt and Sanctuary - Definitive Guide

This is a tough fight, the dragon using fire breathing, chomping, a tail swipe, and then a jump attack.

The fire breathing will come either as a standing attack with a long wind up (run to get clear or raise your shield) or he'll fly in above your attacks and start breathing fire halfway across the arena (run toward the side from which he's approaching … the camera will pan toward the side he's coming in from).

The chomp can be dodged under with a well-timed roll or jumped over … mis-timing either one takes a lot of health and leaves you uncomfortably close to the dragon.

The tail-swipe attack looks a lot like the standing fire-breathing attack. If you block, you'll lose a small amount of heath, so it's better to run back from this attack and then be ready to charge back in and punish the outstretched tail … which takes a while for him to recover from.

The jumping attack can be dodged under but, again, you need really good timing to avoid losing a lot of health.

A trick that worked well for me is a jumping slash at his face. Doing that twice in a row would send him skyward (where he's less dangerous). RNG also has a lot to do with the fight: if he uses multiple jumping attacks and tail swipes (which steal stamina), you may not be able to recover quickly enough for healing.

Fortunately, there's a minor shrine just below and to the right of the arena, making it easy to try again.

Story related. Cannot be missed.

The Kraekan Wyrm is the second Kraekan boss you will find in this game. He is located on top of the Castle of Storms. His attacks are based on slash and fire damage; his weaknesses includes lightning, holy and arcane damage. He is strong against poison and slash.

As this boss performs a hard to dodge fire attack, it is recommended that you use the Phoenix Rondache shield. It is located in the Castle of Storms, next to a switch, in the middle of two iron doors.

This boss also features two stages.

During the first stage, the boss will perform:

  • Airborne fire breath – The boss will fly and leave the screen. When he returns he will use his fire breath on the area close to you. Try to run past him or use the Phoenix Rondache shield to block the fire. The Kraekan Wyrm performs this attack quite frequently. When he gets close to ground after it, you can hit him for some damage.
  • Leap attack – The boss can leap forward. Roll under him to dodge it and attack him.
  • Fire Breath – He will perform a fire attack in front of him. If you can get behind him, you get some easy hits.
  • Bite – He will bite right in front of him
  • Tail attack – The boss might also slash you with his tail.


Some will have a problem defeating this boss without the shield, due to skill limitation. Here's a video on how to defeat it.

Upon victory, you will receive: Jagged Key, Kraekan Wyrm’s Horn.

There is a small glitch - drive it into the left corner and the next time he jumps, the boss may get stuck in the textures. He will attack - blaze with flames, but will not be able to move.

Somewhere at the beginning of the game you can find armor with good resistance to fire (found it in the inventory), and since the boss is not difficult, it’s time to remember the rolls
