The title of this article is conjectural. If there is an official name, it is requested that Plant Beastling be moved to the correct name. | |
Plant Beastlings are weak plant-like creatures found throughout the Lake. When first encountered, a Plant Beastling resembles one of the bushes found in the area. They look and act like diminutive Plant Beasts.
Behavior[]
Plant Beastlings masquerade as bushes until the Drifter comes close. Once activated, they run towards the Drifter and attack, dealing one DMG. Approximately 1.5 seconds after dying, a Plant Beastling detonates, dealing 2 DMG to any creatures close to it.
Strategy[]
While in bush form, Plant Beastlings are vulnerable to the Special Grenade and other ranged attacks.
It is not necessary to kill these when you have other enemies to kill; they are easily avoidable if you continue to move. This creature's self-destruction can be used to the player's advantage. Apart from dealing 2 DMG to you, it can deal 2 DMG to other enemies, effectively being a smaller Special Grenade.
In
The Emperor boss fight this is especially useful, where detonating a Plant Beastling close to it will knock it down, allowing you to get some free hits in or take a moment to heal.
