Charger

Armed Carnotaurus

BHigh

Aggressive chargers with weapon attacks — dodge their rushes and counter-attack during recovery.

Combat Strategy

Dodge their charge attacks sideways and punish the recovery window. Do not try to parry charges — the timing is very tight.

Ranged

Spear Parasaur

CLow

Spear-wielding ranged enemies that can be passive until you approach. Watch for their spear throw attacks.

Combat Strategy

Approach carefully to trigger their throw animation, then dodge and counter. They are passive until you enter their range, giving you control over the engagement.

Armed

Blade Raptor

BMedium

Various dinosaur species carrying brutal weapons — each has unique attack patterns to learn.

Combat Strategy

Study their attack patterns. Slower overhead strikes have clear parry windows. Faster attacks should be dodged rather than parried.

Armored Ankylosaurus

AHigh

Heavily armed dinosaurs with both ranged and melee capabilities. High-threat encounters requiring careful approach.

Combat Strategy

Their frontal armor deflects most attacks. Circle around to attack from the side or behind. Parry their tail swipes for posture damage.

Mini-Boss

Mini-Boss Guardian

AExtreme

Tougher variants guarding key paths throughout the world. The posture system applies — parry to break them.

Combat Strategy

Treat them like smaller boss encounters. Maintain posture pressure with consistent parries. They guard key paths so defeating them is essential for progression.

Frequently Asked Questions

Regular enemies respawn when you rest at save points. Mini-bosses and key enemies may have longer respawn timers or not respawn at all after being defeated.
Are passive enemies a bug?+
No, some enemies like the Spear Parasaur are intentionally passive. They will not attack until you enter their range. This is by design to give players control over when to engage.
What is the most dangerous regular enemy?+
The Armed Carnotaurus is the most dangerous regular enemy due to its aggressive charge attacks. However, Mini-Boss Guardians pose the highest threat among non-Alpha enemies.
Can I avoid enemy encounters?+
Some enemies can be avoided by careful routing, especially passive types like Spear Parasaurs. However, key path enemies and Mini-Boss Guardians must be defeated to progress.
