Verified (1.0, re-checked against 1.0.16): The summoning chain (3 Malicious Blood → Aesir Passage → The Prison), the resistance profile and the ~47,000 HP three-phase split are confirmed. Since 1.0.16, the spawns during the boss fight stay inside the arena (the earlier out-of-area spawn and rendering glitches are fixed), so Phase 2’s spirit gauntlet now plays out as described. This page covers preparation only — the full fight tactics live on the complete guide. See our verification workflow.

Preparation checklist

  • Beat Fader and reach the Deep North with Ashlands-tier gear, frost resistance and Bloodgold/Nord weapons.
  • Portal hub — Jotun invasions spawn at random world locations, often far from Mörkhalla.
  • 3 Malicious Blood, one per cleared Jotun invasion (Malicious Ice in Mörkhalla → invade the marked spot → break the Malicious Ice there).
  • Blunt or slash damage only — Nord/Thunderblood sledge or Nord greatsword; fire, frost, lightning, pierce and spirit are all wasted.
  • Food and meads: full health + stamina meals, healing and stamina meads, fire and frost resistance active before the fight.
  • Summon staves (Spirit Caller) for aggro and utility damage.

Before you summon

  1. The Aesir Passage is marked by the Vegvisir inside Mörkhalla — the Intricate Key opens Mörkhalla (Mould: Intricate Key from Elakings in the Winding Tunnels, cast in the Frost Foundry with Bloodgold).
  2. Offer 3 Malicious Blood at the Strange Bowl — it opens The Prison.
  3. Kall is inactive until you approach: that pause is your final window to eat, refresh resistances, activate a Forsaken Power and repair weapons. There is no safe pause inside.

What Kall drops

The kill grants the Crown Jewel and Sacrificial Blood. No trophy, no Forsaken Power — Kall ends the chain. Offer the Sacrificial Blood at the Sacrificial Stones in the Meadows to complete the game.
