Greymane Soldiers — Basic Enemies
Low threatUpdated 2026-06-03
Greymane Soldiers are the basic humanoid enemies you fight from the first hour onward. Former allies turned hostile after the opening betrayal, these soldiers use standard weapon sets — swords, shields, and occasional bows. They fight in groups of three to five and rely on simple flanking tactics. Individually they are harmless, but a pack of five can stun-lock an unprepared player.
Variants and weapon types
| Variant | Weapon | Threat | Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swordsman | Shortsword | Low | Parry the first swing, counter twice |
| Shieldbearer | Sword + shield | Low | Break guard with charged heavy attack |
| Archer | Short bow | Low | Close distance fast — they are weak in melee |
| Captain | Greatsword | Medium | Parry his charge attack, punish the recovery |
Camp clearing strategy
Never run straight into a camp. Use the bow to pull one or two soldiers from the edge, then fall back to fight them isolated. Archers stand on elevated platforms and deal light damage — kill them first or use cover. Shieldbearers are slow; dodge through their shield and attack from behind. Captains telegraph their greatsword swings with a roar — that is your parry window.
FAQ
- Do Greymane soldiers respawn?
- Yes. Camp respawns are tied to the in-game day cycle. A camp that is cleared at night respawns by the next evening.
- Can I avoid fighting them entirely?
- Most camps can be stealthed past if you crouch and stay out of patrol cones. Archers make this harder.
