Hints
This monster is an Iron Knuckle! It hits so hard with its giant axe that your shield isn't much use. When that big axe crashes down, they're slow picking it up. That's a great time to attack!
This... It looks like an Iron Knuckle, but there's something kinda off about it... Your shield isn't going to be much use against that giant axe. Find a chance for a counterattack!
An Iron Knuckle hits so hard your shield is barely any use! When that big axe crashes down, they're slow picking it up. That's a great time to attack!
