How to Fight

You can encounter your first Shaelmaar during the Main Quest: The Beast of Toussaint. When fighitng Shaelmaars, the best way to deal with them is to let them charge at you with their rolling attack and dodge it to let them hit the wall behind you leaving them toppled and very vulnerable to multiple attacks.

You can also do this technique by throwing a bomb at the wall to make the Shaelmaar charge where you threw the bomb and they will topple over.

Another good way of dealing with them is to cast the Aard Sign at them or throwing a Samum Bomb to heavily disorient them. They can also be heavily staggered when they burn from the Igni Sign, Dancing Star Bombs, or Dragon's Dream Bombs.

What Preparations to Make?

You should use your Silver Sword and coat it with Relict oil to deal bonus damage to them. Prepare a wide array of bombs like Samum Bombs, Dancing Start Bombs, and Dragon's Dream Bombs to heavily stagger the Shaelmaar or bait it into charging towards a wall.

Special Sign Effects

• Aard - This can heavily disorient the Shaelmaar and give you a large opening to attack.
• Igni - If your Sign Intensity is high enough, this can burn them and make them heavily stagger making them more vulnerable.
