How to Fight

The best way to deal with a Giant Centipede is to force them or wait for them to bury underground and lay down a Yrden Sign trap. When they raise from the ground to try and attack while in Yrden trap they will get stunned for a long duration allowing you to attack them multiple times.

It is essential that you attack their bellies since some of your sword attacks will bounce back when you attack them from behind.

What Preparations to Make?

You should use your Silver Sword and coat it with Insectoid oil to deal bonus damage to them. You can also prepare a Tawny Owl Potion since you are mostly going to use Signs against this monster.

Special Sign Effects

• Aard - This can irritate them and force them to go underground to attack you.
• Igni - This can irritate them and force them to go underground to attack you.
• Yrden - When they rise from the ground a well placed Yrden trap will stun them for a very long time.
• Axii - This can irritate them and force them to go underground to attack you.
