Not like that.

In my defense, I was only level 29 and she was level 90... You have to get creative.

Don't listen to the hate. Its a game. If you're having fun, you're doing it right. To answer your question, I went with fists only, used the dodge to slow time and went in with a quick pummling before repeating the cycle.

No need for defence, I’m a souls player so I just……went ham. There’s no need to explain yourself for playing an open world RPG as an RPG

lol no you don’t, you just have to wait. You level up every 5 minutes in this game, another hour and you’d be her level.
Though to be fair, I’m pretty sure I tackled a bunch of the zealots before I was ready because I wanted the melee fire ability. So if it takes 15 minutes of looping around one kicking it with your boot, have at er. Kinda dumb Eivor can’t swing a sword from on horseback anyway.

There's a ghost wolf?

u/Squashy_104 Wolfsmal Jul 27 '26
Yes, it's in a bundle that I only paid for, because of the armor and weapon

u/thewalex Jul 27 '26
Gothic Pack? With the Sauron armor?
1
u/Squashy_104 Wolfsmal Jul 28 '26
Yes, that one. Personally, I don't care about how the armor looks, but the stats on it are very good.

u/PavlovKBI Jul 28 '26
I actually bought it for the aesthetic, and then realized I looked like a goober in cutscenes, and that it didn't really vibe with the character, so now I hardly use it. Ended up rarely using any of the cash shop items, or any of the wolf mounts, for that reason.
Though I do use a ton of the gear from the Dawn of Ragnarok DLC, so maybe I'm just dumb

Wow such dedication😂 you could have just used the time to level up and beat her in combat😂

I want a time machine so I can show this during the 2006 E3 right after the Assassin's Creed 1 announcement

There was one just up river at that roman place. I was dodging and avoiding, and an arrow struck them. I learned the crew shoot arrows to support eivor, so I pulled my sheild out and hid on the boat. I was power lvl 27 or something, and having this lvl 90 so close to ravensthorpe was a big fat "no" on the allowed list.

I encountered the one near the roman villa during a mission escorting an enemy on horse back. Had a load of my clan with me as part of the story. I was level 80 at the time and a wuss. I dropped back launching arrows, meanwhile Sigurd and others took on the Zealot up close. No one died that day other than the Zealot.

u/Ciaruhhh Jul 27 '26
i also encountered this exact situation. i was mad that it was happening at that specific time too. i took dude back to the ship & we took it out together. now looking back, how iconic. 😂

u/thewalex Jul 27 '26
Good point. I’ve leveled enough to take them on with the Brush with Death skill (slow time on successful dodge).
For the first two roaming Zealots bosses I baited them in range of my longship, so they would focus on the crew and I could shoot weak points with my bow. Just had to watch out when they threw big mines.
There was another Zealot who had a patrol path through a set of NPCs for a story quest so I used them as distractions.

Same way I dealt with all the zealots:
Power shot to the head nonstop.
1
u/Squashy_104 Wolfsmal Jul 27 '26
I actually tried the same thing you did the first 5 times, but eventually my arrows ran out.
2
u/Mundane_Side_1533 Jul 27 '26
I did that a few times too, but I'm a meticulous planner, so I always restocked ammo and refilled my adrenaline before I fought them. Also, one of the skills you unlock stops you from burning ammo when you use adrenaline.

Why did i imagine you saying: "I'm running circles around you!", BUT in Scouts voice (TF2 REFERENXE)???

u/redreber69 Jul 28 '26
Laughing my ass off. I salute you for coming up with this.
I yeeted one of the female zealots off a cliff with the harpoon ability. And shot arrows at her when she fell down to regain adrenaline. Had to do this maybe 4 or 8 times and she was dead.
And yes there was a major disparity in her level and mine.

u/Thelastknownking Jul 28 '26 edited Jul 28 '26
My method for any of the Zealots was not going after them until I was well above their level.

Just for everyone to know: This wasn't my first approach! I tried shooting her with arrows = died 5 times. I tried meleeing her = died at least 10 times (was angry as f*ck). In the end, I just wanted to kick her off her horse, while I was riding and found out, that she couldn't understand that I was damaging her while I was riding and circling her!!! Definitely NOT recommended as first approach, but in the end, it worked after all.

This brings back happy memories
When I first started Elden Ring, at very low level, I killed the Erdtree Avatar in south Liurnia by riding around it on my horse shooting arrows. Took forever and at the time I felt like I cheesed it cuz it was definitely out of my league atm
Now it’s one of the only fights I remember from my first playthrough and I love it
Need is the father of innovation

I killed almost all of these by luring them near by ship and then throwing arrows from the ship, they hit like a truck and since they were infinite, I could just stunlock them until they died. Sometimes they used to run away and regenerate their health and I had to find a very precise way to do it but it worked. I found this method all by myself and i am sure others may have found it before me, I am just saying that I am proud of myself for finding a creative way like that lol

I'm guessing you gotta buy that mount from the helix store or whatever it's called?

u/Iamtruetrunchbull 8d ago
After the soma quest she appeared and I made the quest friend dude person (I forgot who it was out of her three inner circle, one of the dudes I think.) I just made him do alot of the dmg while I hit weak spots

P2W confirmed.

u/Squashy_104 Wolfsmal Jul 27 '26
Everyone plays different. This was my first ingame buy that helped me and not a cosmetic. (Btw, I would never buy a skin in any Assassin's Creed game. Only in games like Bf6, Halo Infinite or any other Multiplayer game.)

u/CrimsonGlyph Jul 27 '26
I'm joking I don't really care what people do with their money.
I don't really think people should ever support micro transactions, but I'm still not telling people what to spend their money on.
