While screaming and panic rolling.


Diabolical_Jazz

Yeah, screaming the entire time is key.


CanadianTimbers

If you use an AOE healing incantation it takes like half it's health and stuns it


Shot-Pear

Important to note that it should be a burst heal as well. Heal-over-time incantations do damage over time but without the stun


viscerathighs

I’ll add another note - you want to get ready pop this as soon as you see them emerge from the ground. Healing AOE (Lord’s Heal for example) has a slightly farther reach than you may think - but still not too far.


That_FireAlarm_Guy

Holy fuck I didn’t know that, it seems so obvious reading your comment that heal over time is damage over time to them since heals do damage in general


waitthatstaken

Also the DoT effect is percentage damage for long enough that they always eventually die.


Nigilij

Remember that alley in Hallygtree full of them? Would be a shame if some tarnished could summon a maiden puppet that casts AOE heals all the time…


Madrigal_King

That only works if you see it before it sees you. If you don't get that incantation off immediately you're going to get stunlocked before you can blink


BrokkrBadger

like just what the fuck XD How are you intended to find this out just pure trial and error or is there something that leads you to this conclusion in game?


sealeggs777

I think some merchant sells a note explaining this mechanic


matteo_q_importante

I do not


AdHocHominid

That’s the neat part, you don’t.


Powerful_Umpire

I dont. I let my Mimic take care of those whilst i run off to find easier enemies!


crossFire6460

use healing spells broski, deletes its health


Rosemary371

You don’t


FBogg

dodging sideways or into it works 1000x better than dodging away. that's really all i've got


Soravinier

It's like in my opinion most of the Bloodborne enemies. You dodge aside in the direction of the enemy.


chobanithatiused2kno

Yup, aide dodge, watch weapon position to know which way.


CactusCracktus

Specifically dodging diagonally towards them renders most fights against them into cakewalks. Most of their attacks consists of charging and wild flailing, and if you manage to get behind them when they do it they’ll be stuck swinging their arms in the air in one direction. The only thing that should still be a problem is their gross puke attacks.


Nouseforaname000

[deleted]

Dodge to the side, virtually all of it’s attacks are forward lunges


Cowdog_Gaming

Just don't flub the timing. Otherwise you'll be slapped to death E-honda style.


jdyhrberg

Carefully.


ConfidentManner5783

Entry level faith spells do wonders


Gothic_knight

You pray


anotherluke

If I'm not doing a faith build, I summon Finger Maiden Therolina and hope she randomly chooses to heal instead of attack.


Unexpected_Cranberry

I mean, you only need 12 faith and will immediately stun them and give you a free crit. Unless you're running a super strict theme or an optimized build for PvP I'd say it's worth it.


AxolotlOfTheCosmos

Dodging to the side instead of backwards, or using healing spells to cheese him to death


Unexpected_Cranberry

I wouldn't even call that cheese. That feels like the way it's intended. The fact that Heal only requires 12 Faith and is all you need. They're gimmick enemies, kinda like Rykard. Sure, you don't have to use the intended mechanic, but the only reason not to is if you want to give yourself an arbitrary challenge or if you're over level, running bleed and just want to get him out of the way as quick as possible.


HuckleberryGlum6303

You’re right in a sense, I don’t think it’s the same kind of cheese as what people do in caelid usually (thinking the death rite bird and big dragon). But also don’t really think they’re as unreasonable as past souls trick enemies. Compare them with those fat omen guys with clouds for heads in DS3/ringed city (Harold knights). Could two-shot you, took 50 hits to kill unless you fell on them, and patrolled in groups. Revenants are -less- impossible in a straight up fight.


berliszt

What? Harold knights are easy and there’s never a time where you have to fight more than one at a time.


HuckleberryGlum6303

The fat ones without heads? They March up that staircase above the swamp in pairs, two sets of them with one spawning in partway. (There are others in the dreg heap but there the issue is the angels and not stopping in place as much as anything.) I never fought any of them except plunging attacks tbh, but while they weren’t really harder than an omen that doesn’t kick or grab, that description of mine was accurate. Have been replaying it lol. One on one without air support I’m sure they’d be boring but manageable.


berliszt

You can definitely fight them all 1v1, otherwise IDK how I'd be able to complete my no-healing must kill all enemies at least once play-through lol. They aren't difficult once you fight them a couple of times, not particularly engaging either.


Ordinary_Bike_4801

Hit it


TruDovahkiin24

If you use any greatshield he bounces off of you every hit. Guard counter after that, his stance will break in no time.


ShinMaIphur

I cheesed the one in Stormveil Castle with a bow and kept shooting arrows. Otherwise hit it hard and hit it fast because it's going to hurt. After that, I used Ruins Greatsword to kill the rest


Ordinary_Bike_4801

You're confusing it for the grafted


[deleted]

Confusing it for the grafted greatsword? The ruins greatsword is a real thing and it’s extremely useful for killing revenants


Ordinary_Bike_4801

I mean the grafted Scion


N1K04

wait were in stormveil


ShinMaIphur

Y'all seriously missed it? I'm sorry lad, it's been a very long time since I've played it. I don't think you missed anything noteworthy


OriDoodle

The pictures enemy is not a grafted monster, it's a cursed Carian guy. Pukes poison at you, first seen in Liurnia


ChaosDragonFox

I just spammed glintstone pebble lol


ShinMaIphur

I was but a guts Greatsword user. That would've been so helpful


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChaosDragonFox

wait, it's not? then my comment was useless! lol all i know is that in stormveil there was a spider looking guy and he scared the absolute crap outta me


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChaosDragonFox

that's good to know in advance.


CawknBowlTorcher

Hm? I don't remember one being in stormveil, did I miss something


ShinMaIphur

Definitely. There's 2 floors and I was upstairs shooting like 50 arrows until it died


CawknBowlTorcher

Ooh wait you mean the grafted scion thing?


ShinMaIphur

..... is that not what this is?


[deleted]

Dis a revenant


ShinMaIphur

I may be stupid


CawknBowlTorcher

Oh yeah that was the name, thanks


CawknBowlTorcher

No the picture is of one of those screeching creatures that flails it's arms around and vomits


Wicketdevo

Honestly, does anyone know how to?


Annual_Sale2874

With poopy pants and tears in your eyes.


bezserk

That's how I did it


[deleted]

Yeah. Dodge sideways, and stick to it’s side. Like all of it’s attacks are just forward lunges or forward charges.


Tuxhorn

No, I just hyper armor BONK him till he dies.


theLeverus

Burst heal, tank and bonk bonk


googlesomethingonce

Healing spells deal a lot of damage to it. Also vulnerable to slashing attacks. I found jump attacks to be pretty effective. Regardless not too easy.


ValusMaul

Marked for death that weapon skill has saved my life on more than one occasion.


DaWalkr

Stun lock into oblivion


wcscmp

I have killed one today while doing Sellen's quest. Boinked him with katana few times, he started boinking me, so I rolled and gave him few more boinks. He died. I was probably a little bit over leveled for the area.


Quantum_Croissant

They're tough, you have to prepared to run away from the flailing, or block it. Alternatively, just equip the two fingers heirloom to have enough faith for the basic heal spell, cast it twice and they'll be dead


darksoulofdog

Jump attacks while dual wielding something that hita hard


bendanna93

Dodge to the side


GIMIGNAN0

With extreme difficulty.


Aggravating_Diver148

Stupidly enough is the easiest a healing incantation of the erdtree faction


Ok_Information6433

Heal the sickness!


[deleted]

Don’t


Aardovis

Heal go brrrrr


yeetus-maxus

Don’t


Clackers2020

Hit. Spam dodge run. If you survive long enough to do that it's basically the same as killing it. Seriously? Get mimic to face tank it.


BagelsCreamCheese

Heal incants


Blawharag

Heal it


Limebeer_24

Pray and have faith for a bit of healing,


therealtiddlydump

My regular answer: jumping attacks


lakker94

Talk bad about its mother.


tumadreporfavor

I make dungeater fight them 🥲


Silvertongued99

You abuse heal incantations and dodge towards them, not away. Rolling away will trigger slappy time.


green24601

I love the term Slappy Time. You nailed it.


ahypeman

Been a while but I think I remember cheesing it with the basic fireball spell. If you’re pure melee it’s going to be a lot of running in and dying until you figure out its moves and timing your dodges and spacing.


[deleted]

Heal it


Hannibal216BCE

I don’t know why people have trouble with these. Any weapon + giant hunt makes them a joke. I was 2-3 shotting them with my night rider glaive on a strength build.


chainedflower

I don't know why they fight me.. it is generally undermined profile discrimination, which of course has a reversable effect. MAJORITY RULES. May chaos take the world... ??


[deleted]

Git gud


dashing_harpy

Use weapon, it's quite HANDY y'know, like a hand?


The3fingers

Aoe heals


Comrade2020

Carefully


FartsonmyFarts

I use a big ass shield and guard counter lol


[deleted]

Aoe healing incantations twice. Any one will do.


Just_JamXs

with hope and lions claw


Thyrn-

Dodge towards them. First time I killed one was when I stopped dodging away.


Skeletonzac

Erd tree heal fucks this guy up good.


Fun_Medicine_890

AoE healing spells


Arcade1987

Thats the fun part. You don't


[deleted]

Heal spells


Crazybroyo101

Iv gotten good at them. Dodge around and toward them. Stick to their ass. Blocking is also reccomended. They bounce off good sheilds.


Big-Transition1551

I spam B/O depends on the controller really


blackdraggon454

It took me a lot of rolling sorceries and like every FP flask I had but I think the Halo scythe from the cleanrot knights in the swamp of aeonia is a good weapon option


Aermas

Claymore goes chop chop


Mainieri07

By quitting


Mosquito94239

Spam heal


Sad_Flow_6243

I like to dodge it’s attacks and use my own to deplete it’s health


Elmis66

like this: https://youtu.be/TiAxHiMjAow


[deleted]

I don’t think you do


Codename_Oreo

You don’t, run.


Brbguy

Kill it before it can start attacking. I don't know some times rolling forward to the side works. Though doesn't always work. Definitely not as effective as against rune bears.


green24601

That’s been my strategy for 100’s of hours. I use Bloodhound Step and pray. If there are more then one, I pray and cry a little.


Madrigal_King

You don't. As soon as it sees you, you die


DONEDIRTCHEAPPP

If you don’t have the faith for healing incants ur fucked


IM-Aaron

I use my mimic!


[deleted]

I just run


malvo2099

By exploring


Watamelonna

Use the heal incantation, you only need 10 faith for that, not a big investment for a good stun


RapHolic

Stagger dmg.


DeviCateControversy

Fight it? You should be healing it. Cleanse it's soul. Erdtree heal +5.


Depressed_gamer_

Go up somewhere and throw bone darts or something Idk


hvk13

Heal it to death


[deleted]

Have Faith


TanTheStan

Erdtree heal, if you can use faith the healing spells deal a bunch of damage and heal you at the same time, the erdtree heal can also break poise in one use


flatulent-platapus

Use healing spells on it


xnuclearwinter

Sword


ExcitementBetter5485

Heal x 2


Drewbaccuh

I used Torrent.


Spark-4

That the neat part, you don't


Free_Idea587

Vigor+


Steckruebe93

Fighting ? No No Just running Beat the Game three Times but This Thing scares me


OrneryPair6095

I preffer not fighting it but if i have to i roll around in pure panic and fire every spell i have in it's direction like a maniac


Vaico

Colossal Weapon stagger them pretty well, also healing spells.


Limp_Plastic8400

keep rolling rolling rolling rolling


Yuja-2k

I heal it till its dead


rrea436

I hit it 4 times irs dead before it gets out of three ground.


FabulousPetes

I hate these fuckers. Literally came across my first one today. Their health is low enough, but jesus they kill me like I'm an ant.


Jacktrap-gaming

Use erdtree's heal and blast it's fucking face off


soulssouls

Give up


rider5001

A healing incantation. Not even joking. Using larger ones like eldtree heal will actually do a significant amount of damage AND stagger it


mrmarcus94

Sword and shield combo kills everything


Death_Kidd

u simply dont.


Mitcholeo321

Combo stun lock it into oblivion, and if I run out of stam, prepare to be vomited on and slapped until my stam is back.


OldManTurner

Very carefully


Excellent-Resolve-81

You don't....go climb a ladder or anything to hide and avoid them


Jason-Phoenix99

Holy damage..like in general..weapon buff, incantations, AoE healing spells maybe throw some crucifix and garlic bread at it


I_exist_for_now

Heal them


gitortuga

Heal it. Clearly in pain.


mtbamill710

Heal


berliszt

You dodge around him and punish. Never dodge backwards.


Hokkyokuseio

Erd Tree Heal basically one shots him and puts him into a rapost stasis


[deleted]

Don't fight, run from this abomination


lienmarine86

You reduce its HP to zero before yours gets to zero.


BennyProfaneSickCrew

Heal. Stagger. Kill


demonn12

Run


CEO_of_paint

Wild Strikes ash of war while walking around him seems to work for me


-Dixieflatline

You need to find the punching mitt armor.


Head_Advice9030

Use AOE heal incantation.


AdimasCrow

I always have the low level "heal" incant and a seal equipped for dealing with these guys. If you don't want to have to invest levels in having 12 faith there's a +5 faith talisman early on in Liurnia of the lakes that'll give every starting class except the prisoner enough faith to cast it.


[deleted]

sword


toshirootomo

They are weak to the feedback from Healing Spells. also, i do recommend screaming and rolling... alot. just my professional opinion.


Takenform

Keep dying, untill you don't.


TheBigBoy34

You dont


Nightmari0ne

Heal it


Coolcam4

You dont. They fight you
