Husk Guard

Hunter's Journal


''The remains of a great Hallownest Crossguard, animated by a strange force. Instinct drives it to guard its post against intruders.''



''Larger and stronger than their brothers, these bugs are still forced to steal their weapons from the remains of other creatures. They do not roam or hunt, forever standing guard and lashing out at anything that wanders near.''

Behaviour
An early enemy found in the Forgotten Crossroads. Sits stationary before it notices the player. Once it does, a Husk Guard has two attacks.
 * The Husk Guard will raise its club and drop it down in an overhead arcing motion. This attack will deal 2 masks of damage to the player.
 * The Husk Guard will hop backward, creating shockwaves on either side of it.

Tactics
It is possible to hit the Husk Guard once before it brings down its club. The window to strike is small, but possible.
 * This is an even easier maneuver once the player obtains the Mothwing Cloak.

If the Husk Guard does his shockwave attack, simply jump over the wave. It is usually possible to jump towards the Husk Guard and get one or two hits in after this attack.
