Direwolf Zoomed

Direwolf is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma.


Overview[]

Direwolves are a white, stronger, and more vicious version of the Wolf, commonly seen roaming around in the colder northern parts of Gransys. They are susceptible to Fire and highly resistant to Ice based attacks.

Direwolves are not only stronger, but smarter too. They hunt in packs often lead by a single larger alpha individual, and attack using guerilla tactics if outmatched. Very occasionally, a Direwolf bite can inflict serious debilitations, including Petrification, or Curse.

Tactics[]

Direwolf lunge dodge

A Direwolf's lunge is quite easy to dodge

  • Weak against Fire enchanted weapons and spells.
    • A Direwolf caught on fire will roll on the ground to quickly douse the flames.
  • Fighters, Assassins, Mystic Knights: Burst Strike will impale fast moving enemies like Direwolves.
  • Striders, Rangers, Assassins, Magick Archers: Cutting Wind will close the distance against fast moving Direwolves.
  • Striders: Ensnare/Implicate can be an effective way of easily bringing the Direwolf down, leaving it vulnerable to melee attacks.
  • Just as pawns say Direwolves do literally "hunt in packs" - that is - they will often target a single party member as a pack and ignore others
