How do snares work?

[Operator]

So I have Natalia and i'm trying to kill her but i see that the pawns i hire arent enough to kill her. I heard there were snares in this game how exactaly do i get my hands on them?

Snares are only for Rivals. You can't use them or even get them for Hunters. You can keep trying hired henchmen or try poison or try followers or even summons.

Or don't kill her at all. Killing a Hunter isn't always the best course of action.

How would i Poison/use summons on the hunter i never summoned before.

Poison requires finding a poison ingredient. I haven't found any since the loot rework, though, if I'm honest. Not sure where to find them now. It's the most reliable way to kill anyone that isn't a Rival though.

Summons require Rites. Lore cards give hints to recipes you can use. It's a fairly major part of the game, so you'll want to start playing with them sooner rather than later probably. Just slotting some cards into a Rite will also give hints for recipes.

[what am i doing]

Snares are for killing Rivals by adding them to the Rival's expeditions.

For Dragon, summon a Maid in the Mirror to end her. She doesn't have Mystic or Tenacious, so a high end Mansus spirit like a Maid will make short work of her.
