Scourge Slayer

Learn how to defeat Shell Horrors in Outward for the Scourge Slayer achievement. Discover their weaknesses and recommended strategies for combat.

Alright, so you're looking to snag the 'Scourge Slayer' achievement in Outward? That means you need to take down a Shell Horror. These guys can be a real pain if you're not prepared, but don't worry, I'll walk you through it.

Shell Horrors pop up all over the place in Aurai, but you'll find them hanging around Cabal of Wind structures more often. There's one of these towers in every region, so keep an eye out. They're tough cookies, but they've got a pretty big weakness: Lightning damage. Seriously, they take -50% damage from it, so load up your best lightning spells or weapons.

Also, these things have a nasty habit of inflicting Extreme Poison with their attacks. You'll absolutely want to bring some poison antidotes with you. To make things even easier, try using a weapon that hits hard and has good impact. This will help keep the Shell Horror knocked down, giving you more breathing room and reducing the chances of getting poisoned.

Here are the general locations of the Cabal of Wind structures where you're likely to find them:

• Abrassar: North west of Levant
• Hallowed Marsh: South west of Monsoon
• Chersonese: North west of Cierzo
• Enmerkar Forest: South west of Berg
