Tips and Strategies

Bring a Ropecaster

You can pin a Glinthawk to the ground if you use a Ropecaster on it. You can deal a Critical Hit on them once they are down, and it will also help the NPCs joining you in the battle to hit them more accurately.

Get Fire Arrows

Another usefuel way to take down Glinthawks is by using Fire Arrows. Glinthawks are easy to inflict the Fire effect on, which causes them to crash to the ground. Once its downed, deal a Critical Hit to finish it off.

Killing a Snapmaw

One way to kill a Snapmaw is to target the Blaze Canisters above its neck using Fire Arrows. It will cause a large explosion, and it will be set on fire, helping you kill it faster.

You can also destroy its Freeze Sac below the neck to cause a Freeze explosion that will slow its movements and give you time to attack its other weak spots. Enemies also take more damage when inflicted with Freeze.
