The Krigen is a Jotun warrior with 1,300 health. It fights with a two-handed sword, a greataxe or a pair of axes. Krigen are the only source of the Protector and Vanguard armour moulds and of Leather Straps.
Behaviour
Krigen come in three builds, and each one fights differently. Every attack except the charge is used up close, within 1.6 metres.
The dual-axe Krigen is the fast one. It attacks every second with a cleave, a slash and a double slash. Each hit deals 150 to 170 Slash damage. It also has two dodges that hit everything around it for 140 or 150 Slash. Each dodge has a ten-second cooldown.
The sword and greataxe Krigen are slower and swing every three seconds. Their cleave and slash hit for 160 to 170 Slash. Both also charge from 5 to 10 metres away. The charge hits an area for 160 Blunt, 80 Chop and 80 Pickaxe damage, once every twenty seconds. Their dodge is an area attack for 150 Slash on a twenty-second cooldown.
A one-star Krigen has 2,600 health and a two-star has 3,900. Its damage rises by half at one star and doubles at two stars. A two-star sword or greataxe cleave hits for 340 Slash.
Where to Find It
All three builds guard the halls of Mörkhalla, the Jotun dungeon of the Deep North. An Intricate Key opens its gates.
The Malicious Ice on the bottom floor keeps calling up more Jotun while a player is within 120 metres. It sends a Krigen or a Hexen every 50 seconds, until six of them are close by. Three in four are Krigen, and they can spawn with up to two stars.
Breaking that ice starts a Jotun invasion outside the Deep North. It lands in the Meadows, Black Forest, Swamp, Mountain or Plains, more than 1,000 metres from the world centre. Sword and greataxe Krigen arrive there in groups of one or two, along with Hexen and Elakings. The Malicious Ice at the centre of the invasion adds dual-axe Krigen too. Meteors fall every five seconds and hit for 120 Fire damage. Breaking the centre ice ends the invasion and drops Malicious Blood.
Once the first Krigen or Hexen dies anywhere in the world, sword and greataxe Krigen start to roam the open Deep North by day. The same kill unlocks a base raid with the message "The Jotun have found you." This raid sends Krigen and Elakings against a base. It stops for good once Kall Fimbulbringer is defeated.
Krigen also spawn once at fixed points in Mörkhalla, in all three builds.
| Stars | Spawn Location | Max at Once | Spawn Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| - | Hunts players across the Deep North by day in ones or twos, once the first Hexen or Krigen has been killed. Only sword and greataxe Krigen do this. | 2 | Common |
| - | Arrives in groups of one or two during a Jotun invasion in the Meadows, Black Forest, Swamp, Mountain or Plains. These waves bring sword and greataxe Krigen. | 4 | Very common |
Strengths and Weaknesses
The Krigen has no weakness. Pierce, the damage of arrows and spears, does only half damage to it. Frost does only a quarter of its damage. Poison and Spirit do nothing to it. Blunt, Slash, Fire and Lightning land in full.
Hits that add up to half its health stagger it. A staggered Krigen takes double damage.
- It takes half damage from Pierce.
- It takes a quarter of the damage from Frost.
- It is immune to Poison and Spirit.
Drops
Every Krigen drops Leather Straps. A two-star Krigen drops four times the loot of a plain one.

Level Variants
A Krigen spawns at one of three levels, shown as stars beside its name. Each star is rolled separately at spawn, so a two-star is rarer than a one-star.

Notes
- The dual-axe Krigen drops the moulds for the Protector Armor. The sword and greataxe Krigen drop the moulds for the Vanguard Set. Two-star Krigen give four times the drops of a plain one, moulds included.
- Leather Straps come only from Krigen. The Protector breastplate and trousers and the Vanguard chestpiece need them to craft and to upgrade.
- Three Memorial Coal on the altar of a Memorial Site summon a Fallen Warrior. It can drop Frostfire Essence or Thunderblood Essence, which the Echo Spike and Lightning Strike staffs need.
