They are weak to Silver Augmentation and Sharpening Augmentation, though you can defeat them with any weapon by repeatedly attacking.

Tips

  • Sharpening Augmentation also exploits a weakness, making your attacks more potent.
  • If you lack augmented weapons, focus on dodging their Claw Swipe attacks and continuously attacking until they are defeated.
  • Be aware of the different health pools; Weak Balverines require fewer hits than standard Balverines.
  • The White Balverine is a significantly tougher encounter, so prepare accordingly with your best gear and tactics.
  • Balverine: 20 Experience, 12 Renown.
  • Weak Balverine: 20 Experience, 12 Renown.
  • White Balverine: 120 Experience, 100 Renown.
