Notes
Lesser Burial Watchdogs can be found in the following location(s):
Giants' Mountaintop CatacombsGrace in the Mountaintops of the GiantsRegion.
Giant-Conquering Hero's GraveGrace in the Mountaintops of the GiantsRegion. [Map Link]
Consecrated Snowfield CatacombsGrace in the Consecrated Snowfield.
Appears in 2 variations: Sword and Mage
Sword one uses Watchdog's Greatsword
Mage one uses Watchdog's Staff (with its skill).
Deals Standard (both), Strike (both), Pierce (Sword) and Magic (Mage) Damage. Can also inflict Frostbite with its breath or tail attack.
Low resistance to Strike Damage, medium to other types of damages.
Weak to Crystal Darts - a few hits with those will make them aggressive towards all enemies near them.
Immune to Status Effects.
Parryable: Yes (melee)
Can be poise broken and riposted afterwards.
If a player is patient, most of the Lesser Burial Watchdogs can be baited into a tunnel with a fire or Frost-spewing pillar, which can be used to slowly kill it in increments. This is extremely slow for farming purposes, though, so if a player wants the sword, it is recommended that they memorize it's attacks and dodge roll accordingly.
Three-headed Watchdogs are quite a bit stronger than the single-headed ones.
Mage variants do not drop their weapon - it is instead found in a different location.
