Elder Baldur

Hunter's Journal


''Bulky and covered in thick plating. Retracts into itself when attacked.''



''As they age, these creatures become too heavy and lumpy to roll around freely. Instead, they curl up and hide from the world. What do they think of in there, wrapped up inside themselves? More carefree times perhaps.''

Behaviour and Tactics
These enemies are completely stationary. They
 * Summon Baldur: it will occasionally spawn a Baldur
 * Spit Venom: it occasionally spits venom that will linger on the ground
 * Cower: when approached, it will roll into an impenetrable ball that cannot be damaged

The only way to kill it is using Vengeful Spirit or Shade Soul. Kill the Baldurs it spawns to gather SOUL to cast the spell and shoot it when it's not cowering.

Trivia
One "miniboss" encounter on the boundary of Greenpath and the Howling Cliffs involves fighting two of them at once. Do not stand in the middle of the room, approach one Elder Baldur until it rolls into a ball and stay there until the other one has died.
