Entoria: The Last Songis a soulslike featuring exquisite visuals, music, and challenging combat. If you’ve just started out in the game, there are plenty of enemies you’ll come across, and while most of them are fairly easy to deal with, some can be quite challenging.
Lumberjack is an enemy type that you will encounter early in the game. These enemies are far more challenging than other regular mobs, although you can run past them if they prove to be too much of a hassle to deal with. But, if you learn how to defeat them, it will prove extremely beneficial when facing far stronger enemies in the future.
How To Find Lumberjack Enemies
You can come across Lumberjacks fairly early in the game allover the Quinta region. These enemies are usually paired with other mobs, such as the farmers. However, the regular Lumberjacks aren’t that much of a problem.
In the Quinta region, you can sometimes encounter a far stronger version of Lumberjacks witha red health bar. You will also spot thecocktail glass iconunder their health bar, indicating that these enemiesinflict Vis damage.
You can encounter two of these enhanced Lumberjacks in Quinta. The first one is inThe Field of Beginningsand you can find it right after dealing with the first two farmers, and thenheading up on the cliff on the right.
The second enhanced Lumberjack can be found near theLesser Commons Knot, on your way to the first boss of the game. However, to fight this enemy, you will have tocircle around the area, and you will find him right behind the door next to the Knot, which states that it can’t be opened from this side.
How To Defeat Lumberjack Enemies
The regular version of the enemies isfairly easy to beat, even if they have slightly more health than Farmer enemies. All you have to do iskeep your distanceduring their attack combos. After they’re done, head in to deliver a few attacks and then rinse and repeat.
The Lumberjack enemies often use athree-hit attack combo, swinging the axe in rapid succession. While the attack deals a fair amount of damage, you can easilyavoid it by running away or by simply parrying each hit.
If you try to retreat, the Lumberjacks will run towards you,smashing their axeon the ground. Be sure to dodge right after healing to avoid the attack. These enemies also do atwo-handed attack, which has a fairly short range and can be easily avoided by dodging to the back.
To deal with the enhanced Lumberjacks with red health bars, you will have to put in extra effort and stay in their face. You will have toconsistently parrymost of their attacks, and if you fail, youwill likely die in two swingsfrom this enemy.
Fortunately, the attack combos of these enemies are fairly telegraphed and easy to parry. Once you’ve got the timing down, you’ll be able to consistentlyparry their entire moveset, filling their unravel bar and making themvulnerable to a finishing attack.
You will have tounravel and execute the finishing moveabout three to four times to kill the enhanced Lumberjack enemies due to their massive health bars. You can also try infusing your weapon withFatuo or use Fatuo Mask Linesto deal increased damage to the enhanced Lumberjacks due to their affinity with the Vis element.
