How to Fight Wild Boars

How to Fight

Fighting Wild Boars can be tricky, sometimes they are alone or are in a pack. When they are alone the fight becomes easy since you only need to watch the movements of one Wild Boar. In the case where you are fighting multiple boars, you should try and split the group and eliminate them one by one.

What Preparations to Make?

You should use your Steel Sword and coat it with Beast oil to deal bonus damage to it. Use attacks, Signs, or Bombs that can affect multiple enemies at once so you can isolate a boar and kill it before dealing with the others.

Special Sign Effects

  • Aard - You can use this Sign to stop their erratic movements or to single out a boar before killing it.
  • Igni - If your Sign Intensity is high enough, they will start burning and take damage during the duration of the burn.
  • Yrden - Their attacks and movements will become slower allowing you more time to dodge or roll away.
  • Axii - They will become temporarily stunned or will be converted to an ally if you have the Puppet or Domination skill equipped.
