Clocktower Patient (Head) ❘ 実験棟の患者	Regular Enemy

These unfortunate victims of the Healing Church's shady experiments comprise the largest and most diverse enemy group in the expansion areas. Each variant uses a different set of attacks from the others and many of them incorporate gimmicks unique to their own subtype; most are susceptible to interrupts and staggers, but the Crawling version is immune. Additionally, although very few opportunities for exploiting this mechanic exist, the Clocktower Patients are handled as an opposing team type to the Wheelchair Huntsmen found in certain locations throughout the Research Hall; notably, a Wheelchair Huntsman armed with a Gatling gun is positioned on an inaccessible ledge overlooking a staircase and will mow down a group of patients attempting to climb the stairs as you approach. Fortunately, with the exception of the patients armed with transfusion stands, members of this enemy group generally have low health and will fall to a few R1 attacks; the main danger they pose is their tendency to attack in large groups with swift combos, so keep an ear out for their telltale screams and proceed with caution if you suspect an ambush.

These large, shapeless blobs are actually a type of Clocktower Patient in the final stages of deformity and are found only in the Research Hall patient room containing the Bloated Head. One will drop from the ceiling just inside the door and perform a grab attack; the others will not turn hostile until after the Bloated Head has been picked up and will thereafter attack with omnidirectional tentacle swings and by spraying streams of blood. Their attacks cause Frenzy buildup, which can be extremely dangerous if several hits connect in rapid succession; however, they are almost immobile and suffer from long recovery periods between attacks.

Thrown weapons such as Molotov Cocktails are effective for eliminating them from a safe distance, as are jump attacks timed to land during the recovery period after these enemies withdraw their tentacles. Thrust attacks from long weapons such as the Rifle Spear and the Holy Moonlight Sword are effective as well, and normal R1 combos can be used as long as they are timed during the enemy’s recovery. Beware, however, that several of these opponents appear n very close proximity to one another and the timing of their attacks may overlap, making it dangerous to strike them up close until their numbers have been thinned out. Tools such as the Tiny Tonitrus and the Executioner's Gloves are also elective for eliminating these patients from a safe distance, though we advise resisting the temptation to use A Call Beyond while standing in their midst.

All enemies and bosses (except hunter enemies) have 999 frenzy resistance, despite that they are still vulnerable to such status. The only way to see it without modding is to use Shaman Bone Blade on enemy inflicting frenzy to attack others. [test video]
