Finding Dullahans:

Dullahans are nocturnal enemies that appear after midnight and vanish at dawn. They are often found near bridges, in ravines, or other confined spaces. Specific spawn locations include:

  • East of the Cavern of the Forsaken.
  • Northwest of Vernworth, near Headwater Cavern.
  • East of Vernworth, near a small bridge to the Nameless Village.
  • South of Cliffside Cave, on the route between Vermund and Battahl via Guerco Cavern.
  • In the Misty Marshes, at Illdoer’s Resting Place during the 'Till Death Do Us Part' side quest.

A reddish mist signifies a Dullahan's proximity. Saving and reloading will cause them to despawn, so be prepared for a direct encounter.

Combat Tips:

  • Dullahans are primarily physical attackers with a sickle-sword, relying on mobility and durability rather than high damage.
  • Their attacks are slow, making them manageable for Mages and Archers, blockable for Fighters, and dodgeable for Thieves. Warriors can tank them to a degree.
  • They can phase, teleport, block, and parry. Be wary of a heavy counter after a parry.
  • Dullahans struggle against multiple attackers. A full party can overwhelm them.
  • Thieves excel with their dodging ability and can deal significant damage with Helm Splitter if used carefully.
  • Archers can deal good damage but must anticipate teleports to avoid attacks.
  • The Dullahan's weak spot is its disembodied head. Aiming here deals critical damage.
  • The Dullahan's most dangerous attack is its 'howl', which knocks down nearby enemies. After this, it may grab a character, drain their health (which affects the loss gauge and is hard to recover), and then attack. Keep your distance when it charges this move.
