How to Fight an Armored Arachas

How to Fight

Fighting an Armored Arachas is almost the same as fighting a normal Arachas. The best and way to deal with them is to hit them with the Aard Sign and attack them. You can counter most of its attacks and use those openings to counterattack.

What Preparations to Make?

You should use your Silver Sword and coat it with Insectoid oil to deal bonus damage to them. Prepare a Golden Oriole Potion incase you get poisoned from their attacks.

Special Sign Effects

  • Aard - This can stagger them for a good duration so you can attack them.
  • Igni - If your Sign Intensity is high enough, you can burn them and attack them when they are vulnerable.
  • Axii - You can use this to stun them momentarily and attack them when they are vulnerable.
