As you adventure in A Plague Tale: Requiem, you will inevitably face armored soldiers who are perhaps the most formidable enemies you ever have to face. Killing them is nearly impossible unless you have some tricks up your sleeve. Here is how to kill armored enemies in A Plague Tale: Requiem. If you follow our script, all will go well for you.
How to Kill Armored Enemies in A Plague Tale: Requiem
To defeat armored enemies, make them vulnerable to your attacks. Yes, they are surrounded by tough-to-penetrate steel, but in many ways, your strikes can still get through. Once you strip them of their armor, use all your available lethal power against them. Here are a few weapons to consider:
- Weapons – Use crossbows but only as a last resort
- Fire: Set them on fire by throwing Tar Jars and Tar Pots. You can also push them into the fire
- Armor Piercer – If you are skillfully enough you can even sneak and knife the armored individual
All these attacks depend on whether or not you can remove or at least disable the armor and get to the soldier. Here are a few tactics to consider: For fully armored mace soldiers, get behind them and remove the lock that holds the armor in one place. Doing this will make them vulnerable to all sorts of attacks, with fire being the most effective.
As for shield soldiers, shoot at the lock on their chest. Try to burn them using tar, as this will stun them, thus making them open to being shot at. If you can get their lock off, they will die from fire burns.
