How to unlock the duel with the Builder

After recovered the pigment and activated the protective shield, a twist shows us how in reality the Builder, a mysterious figure revealed at the end of an attack on Asgard, is none other than a Jotun, an ice giant who wants to destroy Havi (Odin).
The shield, therefore, becomes an arena that prevents us from escaping. The only way to continue our adventure is to defeat the immense challenger. Not a small challenge, given that it is extremely tough.

How to defeat the Builder

The first thing to know is that the manufacturer has a single weak point, which is the upper part of the skull. It can be reached with both close and long range attacks.
In the first case, you will have to wait for him to throw the hammer to the ground. This move will create a ball of light that you can use to your advantage. In fact, by approaching it and pressing the key indicated according to the platform, you will collect this energy and, with a simple attack, you will make the giant falter, which will fall on his knees discovering his weak point.

If you prefer a distance approach, just aim well and you will be able to hit it, even if the game would like you to use one of the giant's moves (the one that throws you in the air), so as to aim in slow motion and shoot the scum. . This process, however, will take some of your life away, which is essential for the second phase of the boss.
Once stunned, you will have the opportunity to approach and press the button shown to take away a good slice of health. This move will only be available once, then choose the moment to stun him well.

Of course, you will not only have to attack, but also protect yourself from the giant's devastating attacks. Dodging is the most immediate and most effective method to avoid his moves. But beware of stamina: it is not possible to predict when it will be most useful to you.
By continuing to rage on him, playing cunning and without haste, you will be able to defeat the Builder.

Some advice for the fight

It is highly recommended to unlock via the talent tree A breath from death, which allows you to slow down time whenever you can perfectly dodge an enemy attack.
If for the game world you have also found the skill Concentration of the Norns, equip it. This allows you to slow down time and fire an indefinite number of arrows until your stamina is exhausted. It is extremely useful for hitting the Constructor's weak spot, but also for inflicting a considerable amount of damage on him in complete safety.
Keep an eye on vigor. Try never to run out of it and keep attacking to reload it faster. Dodge only when necessary and avoid empty shots.
Stay away from the circle on the ground that the enemy will create during the second phase, as it will trap you in a very small space where it will be very difficult to avoid the giant's large attacks.
Continue to take the energy balls that the giant releases after the hammer to the ground. They are essential for dealing massive consecutive melee damage.
