Strategy


  • Fight them just like fighting Undead Soldier: circle around for easy backstabs, attack after they whiff their attacks. Be very careful, as their attacks packs a punch and you can easily get stun-locked by two of them.
  • The placement of the archers is usually far away or elevated. You will be noticed early, so get ready to roll away or block. At close range they are vulnerable because they do not switch weapons. Be careful when approaching because they will run away and the sword soldiers or another archer might attack from behind you.
