“Sigh. How did you find yourselves in here? I'm afraid I can't let you go.”
—Henning's battle quote

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

Henning is a rather notorious Boss; he is considered one of the most difficult bosses in the game, and by extension, the entire series. At this point in the game, Henning's stats are ridiculously high, especially his Skill and Speed. Even Marcus and Zelot can struggle to take on Henning by themselves. He is also decently equipped with a Steel Blade and a Hand Axe that allows him to retaliate against ranged attackers. Even though he is weighed down slightly by his weapons, Henning will still have more than enough Speed to double attack most of the units in the player's army. Generally, the best way to defeat Henning is to gradually chip away at his HP either with ranged attackers such as Lugh, or by attacking him in melee combat and then rescuing the unit after. As long as the player takes care to not leave weak or low HP units in Henning's attack range, he should go down eventually.
