Krigen has 1,300 health and spawns in the Deep North.
It resists pierce and frost; poison does nothing to it at all. Blunt and slash land at full damage, so that is what to bring.
Its hardest hit is 2hsword attack cleave at 170 slash, out of 8 attacks.
Of everything craftable, 
Lightning Strike, 
Thunderblood Sledge and 
Thunderblood Greatsword put the most damage through what it resists.
It always drops 
Leather Straps.
Krigen is a jotun warrior with 1,300 health, garrisoned thirteen at a time in the Deep North fortress of Mörkhalla and listed to spawn in every biome in the game once the Jotun Invasion event starts. It makes up half of each invasion's jotnar, with 
Hexen and a dual wielding Krigen taking a quarter each. Pierce is resisted, frost very heavily resisted, poison does nothing and spirit is ignored outright, so blunt, slash, fire and lightning are what land. It walks at 2 and runs at 4, slow enough to kite in open ground. Every kill gives 1 to 3 Leather Straps, 
Memorial Coal at 20 percent, the 
Krigen Trophy at 10 percent and the 
Chestpiece, 
Hood and 
Trousers of the Vanguard moulds at 3 percent each, and the three Protector moulds at the same 3 percent.
Resistant to pierce, very resistant to frost, immune to poison, and it ignores spirit entirely. That rules out bows, frost weapons and the old Mistlands staffs in one go, and leaves blunt, slash, fire and lightning all landing at full value. The Thunderblood line is the clean pick. It fights with whatever it is carrying rather than a fixed set of abilities. Krigen is the only source of the three Vanguard armour moulds, at 3 percent each, and drops the three Protector moulds at the same rate, so a full set is a long farm, and it always drops 1 to 3 Leather Straps with a 20 percent Memorial Coal.

|---|---|---|---|
| Meadows, Swamp, Mountain, Black Forest, Plains, Ashlands, Deep North, Ocean, Mistlands | 100% every 500 s, max 4 near you | 1 to 2 | during jotun invasion |

Each 64 m zone keeps its own timer per entry and rolls the chance once per interval while loaded; a zone never loaded before rolls the moment you arrive. The spawn lands 40 to 80 m from a player, never inside a base unless noted, and "max near you" counts the loaded area around that zone. Dungeon and camp spawners are separate and not counted here.
With devcommands enabled, this spawns Krigen in front of you. The third number is the level: 3 spawns a 2-star.
