How to Fight a Dog

How to Fight

Fighting a Dog is the same as fighting a Wild Dog or any canine beast. Most of the time, you will not encounter this enemy alone. The dog will be accompanied by multiple humans to attack you together. The best way to deal with Dogs alongside humans is to use AOE attacks that will kill it from the splash damage.

What Preparations to Make?

You should use your Steel Sword and coat it with Beast oil to deal bonus damage to it. Use attacks, Signs, or Bombs that can affect multiple enemies at once so you can attack the Dog while the others are stunned.

Special Sign Effects

  • Aard - If your Sign Intensity is high enough, you will be able to knock them down and give yourself an opening to instant-kill them.
  • Igni - If your Sign Intensity is high enough, they will start burning and will leave them stunned for the duration of the burn.
  • Yrden - Their attacks will become slower allowing you more time to dodge or roll away.
  • Axii - They will become stunned or will be converted to an ally if you have the Puppet or Domination skill equipped.
