Basilisk

Dangerous draconids that thrive in dark, damp ruins and deep woods. Basilisks use a deadly combination of fast aerial lunges, razor claws, and a highly toxic venom spit that corrodes armor.

Combat strategy

Drink a Golden Oriole potion before engagement to completely neutralize their venom attacks. Knock them down during low flight arches with Aard, then strike their soft underbelly.
