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

Story related. Cannot be missed.

The Kraekan Cyclops is the first Kraekan boss in this game. He is located at the Sunken Keep. His attacks are based on physical damage, while his weakness is against elemental damage of any type. The battle has two stages.

During the first stage, the boss will perform:

  • Slash attack 1 –He swings his weapon downwards. Roll or block to avoid it.
  • Slash attack 2 – He swings his weapon forward, close to the ground. Dodge at the right time to avoid it.
  • Jump attack – He jumps, hitting the ground in front of him with a slash attack. Roll behind him and attack.


During the second stage, he will perform the same movements as previously. He also becomes more furious on his attacks and will also perform a combo.

  • Jump/Slash combo – After the jump attack, the boss will follow with a slash attack, turning him around, which makes it a bit hard to dodge.


Upon victory, you will receive: Green Key, Kraekan Cyclops’ Horn.

It's worth wearing some very light armor, because... in them, the roll animation is much faster, and the roll distance increases, plus the stamina consumption is minimal. It is also worth taking a weapon with a long attack range, for example, a two-handed sword (the main thing is that it has enough carrying capacity). It’s better to forget about the shield altogether, because even if you can block attacks, you won’t be able to respond, because blocking consumes a lot of stamina, and even a blocked attack has a strong knockback effect.
So here it is. All of the boss's attacks, except one, can be easily bypassed by rolling behind his back. That’s why the speed and distance of the roll is important (if you don’t roll far enough, the boss can hit you with his blow). Next, you will have a moment to strike back.
When the boss is low on health, he will begin to launch a series of attacks. It is important here not to start your counterattack too early, otherwise you risk getting...

And the boss is also afraid of weapons of the cutting class. I went at him with a hammer - it was a complete blow, I managed to win only with a dagger (speed + damage, increasing with each blow in a combination of attack + prayer to increase damage)
