Boss:Cragalanche

Cragalanche may be intimidating, but it's only dangerous if approached incorrectly. First of all, it has a variety of attacks. These include simply charging or rolling into you, which can easily be dodged. When it goes into the air, simply run away to avoid being squished. Cragalanche also has a couple of projectiles, but these are fairly easy to dodge. The one exception is a move where it surrounds itself with large rocks and then shoots them in every direction. This attack is hard to avoid in general, so just try to get as much distance as possible between the two of you to work with when you see this move start.

Although it is tempting to snipe Cragalanche from a distance, this fight is actually best suited for melee combat. Cragalanche is vulnerable from the behind and strong from the front, making it ideal for side-dashing around and hitting. Shooting from afar prolongs the battle, giving Cragalanche more chances to do heavy damage. That said, if your weapon is designed for Ranged combat, there's no sense in forcing it into melee.

Cragalanche is, one way or another, usually a quick boss. Either you will skillfully dodge and attack it from behind, or you may charge at it up front and get crushed. So long as you react appropriately though, this should be a simpler fight than the Phoenix.
