goatfolk sower

A braid of roasted frogskin stretches taut over their swollen pectorals and fastens a satchel to their hip. Their hooves are stained with an unclassified mixture of blood, and spittle flies from their bleating mouth into a tuft of scraggle chin-hair.

Perfect

A goatfolk sower is a type of Goatfolk armed with explosive grenades called sower's seeds. They are often found with other goatfolk. When possible, they will throw their seeds and switch to melee only if their target is in melee range.

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Due to the fact that explosive damage (as from sower's seeds) ignores ○DV and ♦AV, a handful of goatfolk sowers can pose a great threat even to well-armored or evasive players. This is a great danger to characters with low HP, which is most players before they reach Golgotha, where they will often encounter goatfolk sowers while on the way there.

The greatest danger in their arsenal is the sower's seed. There are multiple ways to avoid this damage:

  • Use Force Wall or a similar artifact like a force bracelet to shield yourself from the attacks. Force Wall users can surround the sower with their wall, causing their explosions to kill themselves.
  • Use the jungle vegetation to break sight lines. Sowers only throw seeds if they can see you. If they cannot, they will walk closer until they can.
  • Use Charge or another gap closing skill/item to get into melee range as quick as possible.
  • Take Wilderness Lore: Jungles and avoid fighting goatfolk altogether. A recommended option if your HP is very low.
