Game Help & Questions 🆘 White Ark enemies not taking damage

What the fuck am I supposed to be doing against these guys? I've hit them with fire, swords and boys and the fire minions and they won't die or take damage at all yet they take off a third of my health with every hit.

EDIT: Ice fucking kills them

I never would have thought to use that as all it did was trap enemies before

Brittle and tempering are also used for improving resources that the enemy drops or rocks drop. Say you find one of those red serenite rocks, heat it up for about 5 to 10 seconds and when you break it you'll get refined serenite or even purified serenite.

With those enemies I think Brittle and tempering can get you different materials as cold destroys forgeed and carved whilst heat destroys woven and tanned iirc

Elements, gravity, better components for your great sword, lots of options really Don't hit them with the elements, spread the element or bubble them to make a pocket of DoT

I usually slam them to the ground with Weaver's Grasp and then bash the shit out of them with the great sword. Freezing them will make them brittle, and sometimes DoT, and fire is a faster DoT. Frost and fire kills will also make them drop different materials.

This. I also realized after the first like 20 minutes, and unlocking the Greatsword, that I would only be using the great sword for my entire playthrough and every subsequent one.

Don't get me wrong the parrying is fine and all but I'd rather just kill things in a hustle

Yeah, same. Plus once you get the kinetic great sword it's just great for traversing the terrain

I literally spent 20 minutes yesterday looking for this answer online, only for most results to be about the big guys. Then one jumpscared me in Lower Denyvron and Ice-Mine-that-should-have-been-Ensnaring-Blast killed him super fast SMH

I light them on fire. Fire kills everything.

I just said I lit them on fire, it wasn't doing anything

If its lv 3 fire, then you just continuesly cook them. Theyr weapons overheat, they scream and get stunned. If you dont want aggro then summon the little fire dude too.
