Belfly

Hunter's Journal


''Thin wings hide a highly volatile belly. Will give its own life to protect its territory.   ''

''An angry creature with no regard for its own life. A creature without fear... can it truly be called 'prey'?''

Behaviour and Tactics
The Belfly will dive towards the player if they notice them, exploding on impact.

There are two main strategies for this.

The first is to simply dodge out of the way when it dives down and let it explode against the surface. The Belfly gives an audio cue when it notices the player, which sounds reminiscent of a high-pitched scream. If you hear the cue, dash behind cover, or if possible, to the side or above the Belfly, as they can only swoop downwards. Belflies also emit distinctive squeaks even when resting, so you will always be aware of their presence in an area. When a Belfly spots the Knight, its belly lights up, giving its location away even in darkness.

The second is to kill it before it explodes. The Belfly dies in one hit no matter what. However, the timing is a bit difficult. If you have the Soul to spare, you could always hit them with a spell to take care of them from a distance. This makes Grubberfly's Elegy very effective as it's almost guaranteed to be able to kill it from a safe distance. Great Slash is also effective since it can outrange the Belfly's explosion if the player is careful enough.
