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.

A speed-oriented variant of the basic enemies in the Fishing Hamlet. These Fishmen move much more quickly and attack more aggressively than the harpooners, making far better use of their dodges and pressing their advantage with rapid combos of up to five consecutive hits. They also use a few individual lunge attacks and slashes which carry them forward some distance, enabling them to punish attempts to quickstep away from them. They will keep their distance while strafing sideways and suddenly dart in to perform a quick strike, but these feints have no directional tracking after the attacks begin and are easily foiled by a timely forward quickstep.

Their Five-hit combo offers a series of prime opportunities to interrupt them, though this should not be attempted at extremely close range as the attacks carry them forward a short distance. Quickstepping forward past them will cause nearly all of their attacks to miss and position them for a counterattack from behind during their recovery; ordinary (R1) chains are best-suited to this purpose due to the enemy's relatively low health and susceptibility to stunlocks, though a single charged attack from a strong weapon at this point will usually finish them as well. Take advantage of their weakness to arcane damage if possible; otherwise simply cut them down with melee combos as they recover from their attacks.

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]
