How to Fight

The normal Arachas are really easy to deal with. The best and simplest way to deal with them is to hit them with the Aard Sign and rush them with sword strikes.

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 rush in and attack them.
  • Igni - If your Sign Intensity is high enough, you can burn them and rush in to attack them.
  • Axii - You can use this to stun them momentarily and kill them with a few sword strikes.
