Pale-Axe Stalwart
The first boss you’ll encounter in Chapter 5 is the Pale-Axe Stalwart.
The biggest among them is the Pale-Axe Stalwart, who mistakes you for another Revenant - hence the fight.
He doesn’t have much in the way of fighting tactics beyond swinging his big poleaxe around.
Use Rock Solid to punish his massive wind-up attacks, and you’ll be past him soon enough.
Be sure to speak to the Pale-Axe Stalwart before you move on!
He’ll tell you about the Cart enemies you’re soon to face.
Aside from his double-barrelled shout, which is rather annoying, this fight is another very straightforward one.

He’s a worthy target for Immobilize and your Transformation ability.
If one hits, they all hit, so carefully timed dodging is paramount here.
Nine-Capped Lingzhi Guai
The Nine-Capped Lingzhi Guai is very easy to find if you know where to look.
The Nine-Capped Lingzhi Guai is much more of a troublemaker than it looks.
Keep following the path until it clearly splits into two, then take the left path.
These guys are hard to stagger, and so they can overwhelm you very quickly unless you’re careful.
That location is just a short way past where the Flint Vanguard is located.
Head past the Flint Vanguard and you’ll start to see little Flamlings crop up from the ground.

Rusty-Gold Cart (secret boss)
The final Cart of Chapter 5 is the Rusty-Gold Cart.
