[@Ryonara]I would say yes as long as it's not a fatal attack. Similar to my post, you can land blows that injure it but this creature is very strong. It should last a while. Also take note that Drystan is very experienced and insanely strong because of the Titan potion he takes.

EDIT: Same goes for everyone. Just be careful not to overdo the damage you cause in fights. I'm thinking that the landing blow will end up being after the creature has fallen into the trap on the beach.

[@Stitches] I agree with Excal. Or you could literally just jump into the fight. Or go help with the trap the other are setting up.
