Catcher

Catchers are enemies found in the Graveyard and the Slumbering Sanctuary. They appear somewhat similar to Cleavers and have similarly high health.

Behavior
Catchers walk around slowly and attack whenever the see the player with in range. At melee range, it will perform a quick melee kick. Any further than that and it will throw its hook at the player.

Strategy

 * The grappling hook can be ducked under. However, the Catcher does walk forward slightly in-between each use of the hook, so he will eventually reach your position if you are on the same platform.
 * Any ranged weapon you can fire while ducking (such as bows) will make Catchers very easy to fight. Simply crouch and fire from a distance and they will not hit you.
 * Parrying the grappling hook does avoid the attack, but does not damage the Catcher or spawn a reflected projectile. Area of effect shields like Punishment or Bloodthirsty Shield will still spawn their auras, however, which may damage the Catcher.

Trivia

 * Prior to an unknown version, Catchers were previously found in High Peak Castle.
