How to Fight a Werewolf

How to Fight

The best way to deal with Werewolves is to stop its quick movements and attack it from behind when it becomes vulnerable. When they lose HP, sometimes they will start regenerating a a very rapid rate in which you will need to throw a Devil's Puffball Bomb in order to stop it.

What Preparations to Make?

You should use your Silver Sword and coat it with Cursed 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 during combat.

Special Sign Effects

  • Aard - They will stagger for a short while and stop their quick 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.
