How to fight it

Combat & survival advice →Healing & medicine →

EDITORIAL FIGHT PLAN

  1. Watch the enlarged, nail-studded hand and leave room to move out of its swing.
  2. Attack during recovery, then reset your spacing. Avoid a stationary exchange.
  3. Use distance to reload safely instead of relying on its walking pace.

Avoid: Treating its slow approach as harmless once it reaches you.
