The Berserker King is a magnificent beast who lives up to his name. There's no inherent trickery or hidden powers behind his moves. It's very straightforward and to the point, which often means hitting your face. The Berserker King is, as his name implies, the patriarch of the Lush Woodlands, and has the physique and power to back it up.

The Berserker King reappears with the Lush Woodlands, serving as the main threat alluded to as the player ventures throughout that dungeon. As they approach the stairway to B3F of the Lush Woodlands, they encounter several soldiers who have been mauled by a large bear-like creature. Veterans who have played IV will expect the Bloodbear to be a prime suspect, and enter B3F thinking they will engage it before the Berserker King makes its presence.

No such luck.

Less than 10 steps into the floor, and the Berserker King gets the drop on the party! This is a scripted ambush that may cause the demise of a party in less than perfect shape. Be sure to have rested well before going too deep into B3F. The Berserker King is fought at half health at this stage in the game.

After fighting it off, the party discovers there are multiple Berserker Kings. The few they have engaged are dispatched, but one more exists at the end of the floor. Travel that far, and the party will then fight the Berserker King at its fullest. It is guarded by a pair of Cutters which impede the player's path, but by properly luring them to destroy the tree trunks in the room, a safe path to the King can be cleared out.
