The Crusher and the Saw.

Chained together, the Crusher and the Saw are a brute with a hammer plus the featureless creature sitting on his neck.

Though the Saw stays out of the combat, it controls the entire massacre. A massive hammer is chained to the Crusher's hand and iron chains bind his feet, which makes him the powerhouse. Raw strength and agony drive his slow, heavy strikes.

Their battleground is the Giant's Lair, on Mount Soulrend. Each of them was part of the Order.

Uneven Body, and a Passenger

Muscle bulges on one of the Crusher's arms and legs, whereas the opposite two have shrivelled like dead wood. Being born uneven, he stubbornly trained just his strong side, and each year he turned more brutal.

Perched on his neck, the Saw is a little featureless creature that slices his flesh open over and over using a bone saw. His pain is its tool: it sends him into a frenzy and hurls him at foes until someone dies. Like the Crusher, the Saw served the Order, as a Shadow Warden.

Climbing to the Giant's Lair

Mount Soulrend is where the game's final region lies. Soul travels past the Mountain God Temple and The Last Mandate Encampment, arriving at the Giant's Lair and the arena where both enemies wait. Defeating them opens a path through the cave that heads to The Last Chance bell.

Dislodging the Passenger

With the Saw thrown off, the Crusher grows more dangerous instead of weaker: Sha-Chi seethes within him, his skin glows red, and black smoke pours off. He turns out to be headless, his neck sinews and vessels wound in rings like the growth of an ancient tree. Years of resentment spill out of him, and he fails to notice that the cloth covering his neck stump has dropped away. The cold finally reaches him only after Soul slams him onto the ice.

Pair of Stages

The Crusher and the Saw, the initial stage, has 10,000 base HP and 2,400 Sha-Chi. Resistance sits at 60 per cent against Fire, Ice, Water and Poison, and at 30 per cent against Bleed.

In the next stage, The Crusher in his Earthshattering Form, HP is again 10,000 at base, though Sha-Chi rises to 4,000, and 10,000 Remnant Dust is dropped. A 60 per cent resistance to Fire, Ice and Water stays, while Poison and Bleed now work well against it. Every figure is a base value from the game files, climbing on higher difficulties and in subsequent playthroughs.

Bonesaw

The Saw's personal blade, toothed with rough, ragged edges, comes as a reward and serves as a primary weapon. Shield-breaking suits it well; its active art also hurts targets that have lost their guard even more.

Giant's Lair

Inside a frozen cave, beside the Giant's Lair bell, the arena can be found. Leaving the cave after the fight, you pass a Memory Flower on the primary route upward.

Around the Crusher's feet run cold iron chains, and an enormous hammer is shackled to his hand. Fear stops most people who see him from registering what is perched on his shoulders.
