Tips

• Lure enemies one or two at a time instead of engaging large groups directly
• Use areas with natural cover to control enemy approach vectors
• Focus on clearing the green progress bar — enemy count doesn't matter, only damage dealt
• This is an introductory fight with low difficulty — good place to practice dodging
• Stock up on healing items if your gear is basic

NPCs Involved
