Giant Bat

Giant Bat is an enemy in Dragon's Dogma

Overview

Giant Bats are larger bats - in truth, they are not very large as the name suggests, but they do prove to be a nuisance when attempting to spelunk. They are primarily found in the caves of Gransys.

Giant Bats will die in one hit, and provide little XP. Bats cause minor Health damage, but can poison the vulnerable. More dangerous in large swarms if not quickly dispatched, so make sure you swat them down.

Tactics

• Faster weapons or weapons which strike a large area in one hit are effective when fending off a Giant Bat. On Hard Mode these enemies deal significant damage and need to be dealt with swiftly.
• They often drop 100 RC when slain by a person with the Fortune augment equipped.
• If the Arisen simply blocks with a shield, pawns will slay all the bats to protect the Arisen.

Notes

• On Hard Mode, one Bat can whittle down your health at an alarming rate.
