Regular Enemy

Description

  • Fishmen are the most common enemy type encountered in the Fishing Hamlet. While they use a variety of different makeshift weapons, most behave in more or less the same way - their movements and attacks are slow, but they are protected by super armor during their evasive steps and sometimes make deliberate efforts to attack in groups. Each subtype is equipped to support the others in battle and in certain cases they will work together to spring elaborate ambushes; these typically consist of a firebomb-throwing Fishman who will detonate a cluster of explosive-packed fishing buoys as you approach, followed immediately thereafter with a charge by a group of Fishmen, Fish Dogs and Giant Fishmen with melee weapons. While they can be quite dangerous in groups, these enemies are individually quite weak and pose relatively little threat as long as you take care to pick them off one by one. When entering a new area, survey the space ahead of you carefully to determine potential hiding places and traps; if you spot even a single Fishman closing in on you, retreat to a section you've already cleared and lure the target toward you by itself rather than advancing into the open where you'll likely be set upon by several more.

Overview

  • By far the weakest enemy in the Fishing Hamlet but also one of the most dangerous, these fishmen sit cross-legged on the ground and continuously launch large volleys of homing skulls which inflict arcane damage and have extremely strong tracking. A single attack of any kind will kill them and in fact they should be top-priority targets owing to the tremendous threat they pose at range, but they are usually surrounded by other enemies which must be dealt with before they can be reached with melee attacks.

Strategy

  • Before taking any offensive action against these foes, survey their vicinity for other enemies and determine the locations of any other potential threats. Find an object or terrain feature that can be used as cover and be prepared to retreat behind it to avoid an incoming cloud of skulls. Use the Monocular to aim a thrown weapon such as a Molotov Cocktail or Throwing Knife at the Fishman from behind cover before its next attack; it will generally be necessary to point the crosshairs well above the target itself in order to compensate for the projectile's arc, but in this way it is possible to eliminate these dangerous foes with relatively little risk. If most or all of the surrounding enemies have been eliminated, dash straight toward the target between volleys and strike with a single (R1) attack or a gunshot as soon as it is within range. There is a small zone in this enemy's immediate vicinity where the skulls cannot reach, affording a narrow margin of safety from which to eliminate it.

Notes

  • This Enemy is part of The Old Hunters DLC.
  • 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]
  • Blue Elixir item is useful when closing the distance as it reduces their vision.
