Stalking Devout

Hunter's Journal


''Worshippers of Herrah the Beast. Shield themselves with hard plated foreclaws, then lash out suddenly to cut down prey.   ''

''Powerful, well-armoured, and fast, these are no mere beasts. Study their movements and watch carefully for an opening.''

Behaviour
Stalking Devouts are invulnerable from the front while their "mask" is up. They will skitter back and forth, waiting for an opportune moment to attack, at which point they reveal their face (which becomes momentarily vulnerable) before unleashing several long-ranged, crushing blows that deal 2 damage, unlike regular attacks which deal only one. Strike them once when they're open before promptly dashing out of their range, and don't let yourself get cornered.

If the player discovers them 'backwards', that is, their 'mask' cannot see the player, they will not notice the player. Dream Nailing them in this state will not make them notice the player, so they are easy sources of soul.

 * Protect...Crush...
 * ...For Herrah...For Brood...
