![]() ![]() Start the fight from as far away as possible. If you're not using the Champion's Tunic to see enemy health, the enemies are colour-coded so you can tell which are the weakest ones (off the top of my head I believe it's brown, blue, black and silver, in ascending order of strength). The aim is to reduce the size of the group as quickly as possible, so kill the enemies that only need a few hits first, then you can focus on the stronger enemies without worrying about being surrounded. Some approaches I've taken to large groups while playing the game: However, that's a long term investment in finding and completing shrines, gathering materials to upgrade armour, etc. Obviously having more health, doing more damage and taking less damage are going to make fights easier. Once you've found a way to deal with the majority of the group, you can then re-engage them in a more aggressive manner, dealing with them head on. This does require a lot of moving around, so be prepared. "Kiting": This method basically means running away, until you have a single-file of enemies chasing you, giving you a 1-on-1 fight. Once they're behind you again, go for another swing, then run away. "Hit and Run": If the first two options are off the table, your only real options are to hit them once, then run away. Bombs work well for this purpose, if you have them. "Thin the Herd": If pulling doesn't work, you can instead use other tactics to reduce the overall numbers in the group. This allows you to simply pelt them with arrows, with no harm to yourself. Optimally, you want them to be attracted (or aggro'd) by the damage, and come at you on their own, so you can deal with them 1-on-1. Essentially, stand outside the range of your enemies aggro range, and shoot at one enemy. ![]() It also depends on the range of your bow. "Pulling": Depending on the AI of the enemies, this is a possibility. However, I can give some more general advice on how to deal with a large group of enemies: Having never played the game (sadface) I can't give any specific advice. As Batophobia mentioned in the comments a bonus hearts meal is particularly useful because it also fully heals you. You can also cook food to provide many different bonuses, like extra attack or defence. You can always eat from the menu, so if you are reduced to low health you can eat to heal yourself (as long as you have prepared items, some raw foods heal but not as much as cooked foods). Make use of cooking to create food and elixirs. ![]() ![]() I struggled a bit with combat at first but with better armour and weapons and a little practice I rarely get in trouble at all. Try and find some better weapons or improve your armour. If you can sneak in and kill any archers first (or make a beeline for them and take them out first) this can really improve your chances.ĭo some more Shrines and get some more heart containers. Two or more archers plus some melee enemies can cause you a lot of trouble. Get a good two handed weapon and start charging an attack as the enemies run towards you, if you time it right you should be swinging your weapon around wildly by the time they reach you and you can decimate a group pretty quickly.Īlternatively get a good spear and back away while using the spears reach to take out the closest enemies until the group has been thinned a little.Īlways watch out for archers. SGR's tip is a good one for group combat. Puddles of water can be exploited with Lightning Arrows, grass can be set fire to, boulders can be pushed on to enemies and metal objects can be swung around. I have killed many enemies by raining bombs down on them from a height (be aware though that even non bow armed enemies have ranged attacks and will throw rocks at you if they do spot you)Įdit: As mentioned by Batophobia in the comments you should also make sure to use the environment to good effect. Bombs and arrows can both do a lot of damage with out actually making enemies aware of your presence. This can be tricky as many groups will alert other members, so you have to kill them quickly. Worst case scenario just run straight through them, monsters only tend to follow for a short time, particularly if you can break line of sight. There are very few encounters that are actually necessary, most can be avoided by sneaking around them or taking an alternative path. If you're struggling with groups of enemies then there are a number of options:ĭon't be afraid to ignore the combat completely. ![]()
