Huntsman's Minion (Brick) ❘ 獣狩りの下男	Strong Enemy

Description These brutes hit hard and move surprisingly quickly for such large opponents. The brick-carrying Minion is the more common of the two types that you'll encounter and you'll need to pay attention to spot the rare statue type as you approach them, so that you can adjust your tactics accordingly. Both types will walk up to you slowly when they spot you, and once they're a few meters away they'll tend to close the remaining distance with their Shoulder Charge. This attack can be difficult to avoid, because of their size and the range they use it from, so when you see them drop their shoulder and start the attack, it's often better to go for an interrupt rather than evade. At close range, the Brick Minion will often perform a furious Brick Combo attack consisting of multiple swift blows with the bricks they carry. While this attack can provide another interrupt opportunity, it's safer to quickstep behind them - but remember to keep moving around them because they will turn slightly after each hit of the combo. If you stay behind them for too long after they recover from a previous attack, they'll perform a quick 360-degree Turnaround Spin, which will strike you if you're extremely close; it's best to either go for a charged R2 straight away once you get behind them, or use a couple of quick R1s, and then move away before they use the spin attack. The statue-wielding Minion is very similar to the version armed with bricks, and shares almost all of the same moves, with the exception of the Brick Combo. However, they also use several new techniques, and are somewhat less predictable as a result. Both versions of their slow overhead slam leave plenty of time to move around and stagger them from behind, but they also have an increased ability to hit you while you're behind them using their Statue Spin. Their attacks in general are much slower than the brick Minion's, and have much longer recovery, so you'll have plenty of time to strike once you evade an attack. Beware, though, that they will deliberately vary the number and timing of hits in their combos to trick you into letting your guard down or attacking too early. Strategy Interrupting their Shoulder Charge, Brick Combo or Downward Slam is by far the most effective way of dealing with these hulking enemies. Look for the starting animation of the Shoulder Charge as they approach and interrupt it for a quick victory. The Downward Slam and Brick Combos both have about the same range, so if you stand back out of that range, you can reduce the odds of them using those attacks and often bait them into using the Shoulder Charge. Alternately, strafing or quickstepping behind them when they use their Downward Slam will give you enough time to stagger them with a charged strike - just be sure that it will connect before they're able to use the Turnaround Swing. Short R1 chains can be very effective during their attack recovery, but leave yourself enough stamina to quickstep away if you can't finish them off. Variants Basic variant without cloak found throughout Yharnam. Basic variant with cloak found throughout Yharnam. Blood variant summoned by Bell Ringer in Yahar'gul. Notes First Huntsman's Minion you will most likely meet will be the one knocking on the gate in Plaza after Hunter's Flame. If you decide to ignore him and proceed into the Well area, he will follow you there after a moment so beware. All enemies and bosses (except hunter enemies) have 999 frenzy resistance, despite that they are still vulnerable to such status. The only way to see it without modding is to use Shaman Bone Blade on enemy inflicting frenzy to attack others. [test video] Huntsman's Minions have idle dialogue "...so cold, dear sister...", if you listen carefully. [Video] In Yahar'gul (Blood Moon) you can encounter sleeping Minion with unique animation.

Pungent Blood Cocktails don't attract this enemy, making the item ineffective. Shaman Bone Blades affect this enemy, making it hostile to other enemies. Huntsman's Minion knocking on the gate in Plaza
