Daemonheim Monster Weaknesses

[Grimy_Bunyip]

does anybody know what different monsters are vulnerable to? i have a small list so far

 

ice monsters - Crush

Skeletons - Crush

Zombies - Slash

Bats - Crush?

Spiders - Slash

shades - Slash (not sure if they're weak to crush too)

hydra - ? definitely resists stab

 

I believe male forgotten warriors are weakest to crush, due to metal plate armor and plate legs (which have lower crush defence)

likewise female forgotten warriors are weakest to stab, due to chain plate and plate skirt (both of which have much lower stab defense)

[Mischlings]

I don't think hydras really have a melee weakness (they seem to be strong against all types) seeing as they're mage-based and the combat triangle is really exaggerated in there.

 

Also, it seems that the icefiends are just resistant to slash, as stab seems to absolutely destroy them. However, I'm not 100% sure on that as I haven't really tested crush on them.

i find the hydras are a pain tio kill they deal lots of damage without taking any really u just gotta pile the hydras

[All_Is_Great]

This is why I think the spear is the best weapon.

 

Anyway, are you sure you grouped them right? Like "ice monsters" I think the elementals and fiends are weak to different things. I don't remember that clearly though, so i'll have to check again.

Bats are weak to range, I had a giant bat task from Tureal once, and he said use range because they fly.

[SirIzenhime]

guard dogs are weak to range (which I assume means Stab as well)

Hydras seem to be easy to hit with crush (I do use a promethium maul though)

Zombies are also weak to magic (I can hit them while wearing a Plate body and plate legs

Obviously Forgotten mages are weak to range

Spiders are weak to crush

skeletons are weak to crush

earth warriors are weak to crush

Male Warriors are weak to Crush (and mage)

Female Warriors are weak to stab (and mage)

 

Keep in mind none of those are from extensive testing, just what I've seemed to notice.

Hydras range, have you guys never used it? That's why it's weak to slash, try it. It has hides, you know.

I can safely tell that (at least giant) bats are weak versus STAB.. (Or at least: more weak vs stab than vs crush).. After beating around 20 of them with a prome maul, and dozens with a gorgonite spear.. I notice the gorgonite spear hits like 3-4 times more than the prome maul.

 

All fiend types are (outside deamonheim at least) weak versus crush.. Seems feasible to be inside deamenheim the same is true.

 

For the warriors as said look at their armour: if they have a chain they are weak vs stab, otherwise vs crush. (Difference can easily be seen if you view a warrior from behind, the platebody has some kind of "plate" at the back too, while the chain is simply grayish).

Hydras are definitely weak to slash, as I tested. Same with forgotten rangers (though stab works well too).

 

All 3 dragon types (frost, green, iron) are obviously weak to stab. Icefiends tend to be destroyed with stab too, so do both trolls.

 

High-level forgotten warriors, be it male or female, aren't weak to any melee style. Magic is the only effective way to kill these.

 

Brutes are weak to crush, I think.

 

Oh, and let me say this one more time: range =/= stab. Astea Frostweb definitely has a good defense against all melee/magic attacks, while I hit her often with ranged.
