📍 Spawning

Ticks spawn in the Mistlands:

Dropped by Gjall during combat
Near Infested Mines
In dense mist-covered areas

They are rarely encountered alone and usually appear during larger engagements.

⚔️ Behaviour

Ticks are fast and aggressive parasites.

They:

Leap toward players.
Attach themselves on contact.
Drain health over time.
Remain attached until shaken off or killed.

While attached, they restrict movement and rapidly reduce health.

🛠 Combat Strategy

Roll (dodge) to dislodge attached Ticks.
Kill them quickly before they latch on.
Prioritise clearing them during Gjall encounters.
Maintain high health food to offset drain.
Avoid being surrounded.

Individually weak, they become deadly when ignored during larger fights.

⛏ Weaknesses

Ticks:

Have extremely low health.
Are vulnerable to all damage types.
Can be killed quickly with light melee weapons.

Speed and awareness are more important than weapon type.

⚠ Threat Level

Ticks are dangerous primarily because:

They attach and drain health rapidly.
They often appear mid-fight.
They restrict mobility.
They compound pressure during Gjall encounters.

While not threatening alone, they are highly disruptive support enemies.
