Defeating The Earless in No Place For Bravery

Your only-slightly-trusted semi-companion decides that you’re only there to slow her down, and you’ll be forced to fight her to the death. The Earless is a quick and nimble opponent, zipping and zapping around the arena while flinging vials of acid towards you and sending barrages of arrows your way. You’ll need to be quick to dodge all the projectiles while you edge closer to her for the right moment to strike. Make use of your Invulnerable Sidestep skill to weave through the arrows unharmed as you whittle down her health.

Once she’s defeated, she’ll drop the very weapon she used in her attempt to end your life – The Arbalest.

The Arbalest is capable of sniping enemies from afar, and can also be used to shoot specific levers found around the game’s world, allowing you access to previously unreachable areas. The amount of ammo is indicated by the red dots below your health bar, and it can be reloaded at any time by pressing the Block button while it’s equipped.
