πŸ›  Strategy Tips

  • Use a mace or club for higher damage output.
  • Fight in doorways to prevent being surrounded.
  • Keep stamina reserves to avoid stagger.
  • Use torches or good lighting inside Burial Chambers.
  • Parry timing is effective if using a round shield or buckler.

Ghosts are often the first enemy that exposes players to resistance mechanics.
