Slow down when going against Patches to be aware of when he starts to surrender. As soon as you hear the dialogue, stop your attack until you are notified Enemy Felled Melee Users As he begins with his cloud attack, you will have enough time to circle back behind him and deliver a backstab. If successful, continue with your regular melee attacks until he stands up. Patches' attack sequence attacks are all fairly basic melee attacks that can be dodged to avoid damage or blocked. He tends to pause in between attacks so you can maximize damage in between his attacks until his HP bar is depleted to half. Then, it is recommended players slow down since Patches will soon stop his attacks and behind to cover behind his shield. Stop your attacks all together and you will still win the fight rewards and gain him as a Merchant Magic and Ranged Users With ranged attacks, keep circling behind him, since his attacks have a limited range. It should be easy to get your attacks in especially in between his attack sequence. Just like the melee strategy suggests, slow down when the HP bar reaches midpoint and attack until he retreats behind his shield. Stop your attacks all together and you will still win the fight rewards and gain him as an NPC Merchant. Attacks & Counters Attack Description Counter Acid Spraymist Patches drinks a vial and spew out an orange cloud in front of him. Getting caught in the cloud lowers your physical attack power by 15 for 1 minute. Move to the side or reposition as he pulls out the vial. Be aware that the cloud lingers for a few seconds. Jump Attack Patches jumps upwards and attacks by thrusting his spear downward. For this move, take a step back or block it with your shield then follow up with your own attacks. Jab Patches performs simple thrusts with his spear, often while defending with his shield This can also be blocked or avoided by rolling backwards or to the side. Players can follow up with an attack. Since Patches will often have his shield up, use this opportunity to get around him. Kick While the player is guarding, Patches will kick their shield and stun them, and can perform a critical hit afterward. Step back or dodge out of the way. Avoid using your shield too frequently.
