General Strategy

Latria is a creepy atmospheric world with a unique flavor, and without care several of the enemies here will make you the tasty flavor on their menu.

• Besides Physical attacks, you will encounter several enemies which will use potent ranged Magic attacks, and also some which will Poison you. There are no sources of Flame attacks here.
• The strong ranged magic attacks are from the guards, the two Legion enemies, and the Fools Idol boss
  • Bring a shield which blocks as high a percent of magic as possible:
    • Dark Silver shield is the best option at 100%, but you may not have it until NG+
    • All of these are better than the typical 30% of magic blocked by other shields:
      • the Rune shield (60%) which can be found in this world,
      • a Dark (cloudstone) upgraded shield (38%-70%),
      • Tower shield (60%),
      • Adjudicators shield (50%)
  • If you are caught in a long corridor or open space without hiding spots you may still take a lot of damage from these ranged attacks. Use cover to prevent getting hit at all.
• You will encounter poison on the tip of some of the prisoners' daggers, and from the face-bugs in the swamp of 3-2.
  • Increasing your Poison resistence can make it less likely you will be affected
  • Natural Poison resist comes from your Endurance stat, and can be boosted with a Ring, and some other equipment
    • Gloom or Black leather armor are the best
    • Bramd and Istarelle are unique valuable weapons which provide a great boost
  • Bring Royal Lotus to heal poison, and equip it for fast [] hotkey use next to your healing items
  • The miracles Antidote and Cure are also quick ways to remove the poison effect
• The variety of enemies has no wide-scale resistances to Physical, Fire, or Magic damage, so try whichever upgraded weapons and spells are your favorites.
• Make sure you have a reliable source of Ranged damage (bow, crossbow, or spells) for 3-2, since the airborne crossbow-firing Gargoyles can be hard to lure into melee killing range, and ranged offense will lower your stress level dealing with the guards in 3-1 also.
