• Damaging armor and killing a soldier

Opponents in heavy armor

Soldiers in heavy armor appear in later chapters of the game. You can avoid some confrontations with them - sneaking around will save you resources and reduce the risk of attack.

In the final chapters, defeating some enemies with heavy armor is mandatory. You must remember how to act.

Damaging armor and killing a soldier

The soldier's heavy armor blocks all of Amicia's attacks - the heroine cannot kill her opponent with a slingshot, vessels or crossbow.

Your task is to damage the armor by hitting its weak point with the slingshot. It can be located:

1. on the chest - example in image 1;
2. on the back - example in image 2.

If possible, take a shot from hiding. The enemy will be alerted only after he loses some of his armor.

After the heavy armor is damaged, you can kill the soldier. However, you can't do that with the simple slingshot. Instead:

1. use the crossbow and aim at an exposed part of the opponent's body;
2. use tar and Ignifer to set the enemy on fire (example in the picture).
