Cauldron XI Tips

Go for the head

This Cauldron is unique because other than the Machines you would normally encounter in other Cauldrons you also have to face human enemies. Human enemies are only as good as their numbers allow. You have the option of relying on Stealth or going in arrows blazing. Either way, always aim for the head to save yourself on arrows.

Shoot Blaze containers

If you see cultists near Blaze containers, shoot it with Fire Arrows to take out multiple cultists at once. Alternatively you can also blow up Blaze containers to create diversions as you take out all enemies.

Use the Deathbringer Gun (optional)

If you come across a fallen Deathbringer Gun, you can opt to use it to save yourself a few arrows. This works well especially after Overriding the core, when you have to defend the core in the middle as cultists and machines will swarm your position.

Stick to Stealth

After defending the core, we recommend sticking to a stealthy approach as you exit the Cauldron. This gives you the element of surprise especially in open areas where cultists may be hiding in patches of grass.
