Moblin Guard

Maren's Tip

Every enemy type has a weakness. Fire enemies melt with ice, ice enemies with fire. Gibdos are vulnerable to fire and lightning — stock those arrows!

Description

A Moblin posted specifically as a gate and camp sentry, standing guard at cave entrances, bridge chokepoints, and camp perimeters. Its shield stance blocks frontal approaches — flank left or wait for its spear lunge recovery to attack freely. Its predictable patrol pattern makes it one of the easier Moblins to sneak past or deliver a critical sneak strike. Moblin Horn drops are standard materials.

Weakness

Stay inside its melee arc — it struggles to aim downward; leg attacks

How to Beat Moblin Guard

A Moblin specifically posted as a sentry that holds position and blocks passage. It wields a large shield and spear — strafe to its left (its shield arm is right) for unguarded attacks. Its patrol pattern is predictable — time approach to catch it mid-turn for a sneak strike bonus.
