Tips for Birds?

[Gamerwolfsix]

So I got to a part in the game where bird enemies are a super pain. Fought them before. But right now they are doing massive damage and stamina damage. So my usual block, attack when they are close, block isnt cutting it; and am dying a lot. The birds in question are in the spooky area.

There are multiple magic spells that are extremely effective against them. The grapple (item from frog area spoiler) is a very simple and effective option (as with basically all enemies that are difficult because they keep a distance from you). It soft stuns enemies and puts them right in sword range.

I'll need to try that. Just atm I do not have a lot of mana reserves because reasons.

You can dodge when they dive towards you, and then dash to them for attack. it demands your patience if you do it this way. But if you have the grapple or the wand , it'll save you a lot of time.

The problem is when there is more than 1 things get hard to time. Also, those heckers dodge the wand rather well.

as long as all the birds are coming from more or less the same direction, you don't even need to roll away: Just move perpendicular to the birds, and they will miss. Then it's just a matter of getting a hit or two in. Dodge rolls just move you further away from damaging the birds.

Brilliant enemy design. No stamina bar on those things, no down time... and if you are meele you have to rely on the utter trash hit detection when you "lock on" and jump attack. Or you try to wing it (no pun intended) and do not lock and and try to aim manually... good luck.

Absolute aids.
