Fael

Faels are found in the Market - where there are five, and one in the Market Sewers. Their heads are well protected by their horns which deflect and block overhead blows. They will often fight alongside their Ghoul peers which could make encountering them even more difficult. Like Sir, the Fael's attacks can knock the player off their feet, but they are not as aggressive as Sir and are objectively easier to kill. Just like with Sir, Derrin will run away from Faels, but should muster up the courage to fight them if you do too.

A strategy to dealing with a lone Fael is to slash them with long weapons, such as greatswords or polearms. You are likely to hit the Fael in it's side when doing this whilst avoiding it's reach. If fighting multiple Faels or a Fael with its Ghoul peers, this strategy or slashing to the side should still be effective. Continue to backstep and attack as much as you can while remaining on the defensive. The Fael's long arms also makes them liable to hitting other enemies by accident, and their large size makes them able to being accidentally slashed by other enemies as well.

Another Strategy is to learn Dual Wielding. Once you obtain the Flanged Mace and another Sword or Slash type weapon, you can add the stunning effects to the Flanged Mace and upon contact momentarily stun the Fael allowing for the sword to hit the Fael with little to no counter. Of course take the necessary precautions if it pushes you or if other Demons are with it.

If you encounter multiple Fael, run.

Attacks
Fael has two main attacks, just like other creatures who attack with their hands and claws.


 * A swipe attack, in which the Fael swings one arm and then the next.
 * An overhead attack that deals immense damage, usually utilized if the Fael has knocked the player over or if the player crouches.
