Disciple des sables

A desert disciple dried by the sun, whose blows drain your water.

Overview

A disciple of a desert sect who died of thirst crossing the sands. The sun dried its flesh, so it no longer burns by day. Its dead Qi kept the thirst.

It fights exactly as the Disciple déchu: half guard, haymaker, double blow and lunge, or its weapon's moves when armed.

Its bare-handed blows give Hunger, as the vanilla husk's do.

Moves

Stance

Half guard

Waits about 3 blocks off, then steps in to strike about every two seconds.

Move 1

Clumsy haymaker

A wide, slow swing for 3 damage on Normal, with Hunger if it lands bare-handed.

Move 2

Double blow

A jab then the haymaker (about 2 + 3), always after two blocked blows, otherwise 1 time in 4.

Move 3

Lunge

Dives at you when you back away from 3 to 5.5 blocks, for about 4 damage; at most every 5 seconds.

How to beat it

  1. Guard or parry its blows: a blocked blow gives no Hunger.
  2. Carry food on desert trips; each landed bare-handed hit adds Hunger.
  3. Sidestep with Left Alt rather than backing away, to avoid the lunge.
