How to Fight a Gargoyle

How to Fight

The best way to deal with a Gargoyle is to combine the Yrden Sign with throwing Dimeritium Bombs to greatly reduce their movement and defense then attack them from behind. You should be careful of their attacks since a single attack deals a lot of damage. You can cast the Yrden Sign to significantly slow them down and allow you to move towards their back and attack them.

What Preparations to Make?

You should use your Silver Sword and coat it with Elementa oil to deal bonus damage to them. Prepare a decent amount of Dimeritium Bombs in order to greatly reduce their defense in combat. Also, prepare a lot of healing items and potions since their attacks deal a lot of damage to you.

Special Sign Effects
