Known as the 'Ancestor Piece', or "Doomsday Beast", Jormungandr (ヨルムンガンド) is an Eternal sealed beneath the Spiral Tower in San Miguel. Eternals are creatures that are neither alive nor dead, but simply exist. It's called the ancestor piece because life came from it. Jormungandr possesses no reason, and only wishes to devour everything (described by Otenko as a greedy instinct that wishes to swallow everything up), which is why the Immortals felt that Jormungandr could be used to aid their cause to destroy the living. After Black Dainn broke the seal on Jormungandr, Django was able to buy enough time for the townspeople of San Miguel to recast the binding spell. Jormungandr is the final boss in Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django. Jormungandr is indirectly referenced in Lunar Knights as Sabata's/Lucian's dark spear.

Name Origin

Norwegian form of Old Norse Jörmungandr, possibly meaning "giant pole." In mythology, this is the name of the Midgard Serpent--also called the World Serpent--that encircles the earth beneath the ocean.

Strategies

• You can't damage Jormungandr unless you have some sunlight shining in.
• Attack Jormungandr's head from the sides to stun its eyes. Once it's fully stunned, it sticks out its tongue which is more susceptible to damage.
• If Jormungandr rears its head, you can still damage it by hitting its stomach. Be careful, since it raises a tentacle to whip you back if you stay too close.
• Mash buttons to break free of Jormungandr's bite.
• When Jormungandr raises its hammer, transform into a bat to avoid the tremor - otherwise this will stun you and leave you vulnerable to a lunge.
