How to fight it

Combat & survival advice →Healing & medicine →

EDITORIAL FIGHT PLAN

  1. Watch for the tongue projectile attack and use solid cover between attacks.
  2. Reposition after an attack rather than repeatedly exposing yourself from the same spot.
  3. Carry enough supplies for a sustained fight; the Pale Lady elite needs a separate plan.

Avoid: Assuming distance alone protects you from its projectiles.
