Maren's Tip

Every enemy type has a weakness. Fire enemies melt with ice, ice enemies with fire. Gibdos are vulnerable to fire and lightning — stock those arrows!

Description

Darknuts in the Depths are armored knights with multi-phase combat. Their armor must be stripped piece by piece before they become vulnerable. Once de-armored, they become faster fighters requiring dodge-based combat. Found in Depths ruins and castle underground areas.

Weakness

Strip armor pieces, then strike exposed body

How to Beat Darknut (Depths)

A heavily armored knight in the Depths. Standard attacks bounce off its armor — target the straps connecting armor pieces to strip them one by one. Once the chest armor is removed, it becomes faster but vulnerable to standard damage. Bomb arrows can strip armor faster.
