How to Fight Big Bad Wolf

How to Fight

Fighting the Big Bad Wolf is almost the same as fighting any other Werewolf or Ulfhedinn. You can encounter this during the Main Quest: Beyond Hill and Dale... while you are inside the Fablesphere. The best way to deal with the Big Bad Wolf is to stop its very fast movements and attack it from behind when it becomes vulnerable.

What Preparations to Make?

You should use your Silver Sword and coat it with Beast oil to deal bonus damage to it. Use attacks, Signs, or Bombs that can stop its movement to give yourself an opening to attack. Prepare some Devil's Puffball Bombs to make its regeneration stop immediately whenever it starts in combat.

Special Sign Effects

  • Aard - They will stagger for a short while and stop their very fast movements.
  • Igni - If your Sign Intensity is high enough, they will start burning and will leave them stunned for a short duration.
  • Yrden - Their attacks and movements will become slower allowing you more time to dodge or roll away.
  • Axii - They will become stunned for a short duration leaving them open to attacks.
