Giant Tick

Giant Ticks are miniboss-like enemies that only appear in the Morass of the Banished. They were introduced in the Bad Seed DLC.

Behavior
When player enters an arena outside the structures the Banished inhabit, its doors will slam shut, the Giant Tick will leap out of the swamp ahead of them, and then immediately engage in battle.

Strategy

 * It is advisable to roll away and not into Giant Tick's close range attacks, as it will always follow up with a second strike, however, these attacks can be parried.
 * When leaping, the Giant Tick can be parried, however it is advisable not to.
