Great Husk Sentry

Hunter's Journal


''Animated remains of a Great Sentry, the most elite of the city's guards. Wields a greatnail and shell. Its powerful attacks cause heavy damage.   ''

''An extremely rare thing, a bug of Hallownest that actually poses a threat. Watch them carefully, as they can lash out quickly with devastating strikes.''

Behaviour and Tactics
These mighty sentries deal two damage with their attacks, making them very dangerous foes.

They will always throw up their shield if they are not in the middle of a strike, even if the player attacks them from above.

They have two attacks. One is a single strike, after which they immediately shield themselves, not leaving much room to attack them without taking damage. The second possible attack is two quick swipes, which leaves them open for a short time.

They can be attacked by standing just inside their range, waiting for them to raise their sword, running a little distance away, then running up to them to strike them when their attack is over. This requires very good timing and many hits, since these enemies have a lot of health. Mark of Pride makes it easier to reach them with a strike before they can shield themselves.

An easy way to kill them is to use Sharp Shadow and dash through them every time they try to attack.
