How to Fight Water Hags

How to Fight

The best way to deal with a Water Hag is to burn them then attack them while they are vulnerable. Just like Drowners, they are very weak to burning and the use of the Igni Sign, Dragon's Dream Bombs, and Dancing Star Bombs are very effective against them.

What Preparations to Make?

You should use your Silver Sword and coat it with Necrophage oil to deal bonus damage to them. Prepare bombs that can ignite them like the Dragon's Dream Bomb and the Dancing Star Bomb.

Special Sign Effects

  • Igni - This can make them burn easily and give you a lot of time to attack them.
  • Yrden - This can be used to slow them down significantly when they try to attack you from underground.
