  • For enemies that also appear (or exclusively appear) in dungeons, their stats will be shown at the base level, because their exact stats at any given point are calculated from these base values.

Description


  • Gravediggers carrying pickaxes are generally found alone, either using their tools for their intended purposes or standing guard. Those that are busy working will keep doing so unless you get very close to them; if there are other enemies in the area, lure them away and finish them off first before getting close. Their overhead attacks may be slow, but they have strong tracking and will hit you if you try to strafe around them; quickstep forward through the swings and position yourself behind them for a quick combo before they can turn around.

  • Hook-wielding Gravediggers attack slightly faster than the pickaxe variant, but their swings have less range. They'll often perform melee combos of up to four slashes, as well as a unique three-hit chain ending with a grab - the latter consists of a diagonal overhead swing, a horizontal slash and a forward snare, so if you see that series of attacks, be ready to evade the grab. Hook-wielding Gravediggers don't actually attack with their lanterns and are incapable of striking behind them. You'll also run into Gravediggers that like to use firearms at a distance, so any time you approach one you should always check to see if it's carrying a gun first so that you can adjust your approach accordingly.

Strategy


  • These Gravediggers have excellent vision and can spot you approaching from far away, but they are also naturally inquisitive and you can use both of these things to your advantage. If they spot you, hide behind cover and they'll start moving towards you to investigate, and if you keep repeating this process you can pull them away from other enemies from a much greater distance than your normal ranged attacks would otherwise allow. They also have relatively short memories, so if you stay behind cover for a while they will forget about you and start returning to their original position, at which time you can run up and attack them from behind before they can turn around Once you do get close they'll switch out their gun for a hook and should be treated the same way as the normal hook variants.

Notes


  • During Watcher's Gravedigger grab attack animation, damage can NOT be reduced by repeatedly pressing buttons (mashing).

Base Level: Blood Echoes, HP, Damage and Def. Multipliers

  • For enemies that also appear (or exclusively appear) in dungeons, their stats will be shown at the base level, because their exact stats at any given point are calculated from these base values. The basic formula is: Total Value = Base x A x B x C x D. Multipliers written down below were datamined directly from the game files. Multiplier A represents depth (1 - 5) of the chalice dungeon; multiplier B is layer (1 - 4) of the specific chalice dungeon; multiplier C is used when dungeon is Pthumeru Ihyll; multiplier D is for calculating blood echoes when additional curse rite is used.
