Albinauric Wolfback Archer | Elden Ring Wiki

Farming these girls for thier armor and St.Trina's Arrows was an exquisitely miserable experience.

Submit

Adula’s Moonblade is pretty effective against them, every hit I’ve landed with it has staggered them. Just get close and hit them once, then spam it until they drop.

Submit

Love dealing with these awful things and only to come away with arrows. Not super fancy Golden Arrows that you can't craft....JUST ARROWS.

Submit

Bro there should be a flag programmed in the game where the Albinaurics in the Consecrated Snowfield / around Ordina should not attack you if you have Latenna in your inventory. So dumb how you’re on a quest to help her reach her giant sister to help the next generation of Albinaurics to be born while also masscreing each one we come across because they attack me on sight.

Submit

Did they get nerfed? I can shrug off loads of their arrows with little effort, but then again I am wearing Pumpkin Helm, Veteran's Chestplate, and Lionel's Greaves and gloves. + 54 Vigour and Erdtree's blessing +1

Submit

Whenever I fight these ass holes I start to understand why their an oppressed race

Submit

Officer it isn't my fault that I massacred the Albinaurics, they just have low drop rates.... wait you were talking about different Albinaurics?

Submit

Worst enemy in THE ENTIRE SERIES. Revenants are trivial and a joy to fight in comparison to these ABSOLUTE DEMONS. I'm sure FS is going to fill a broom closet with these freaks in the first dungeon in the DLC. FML.

Worst enemy in THE ENTIRE SERIES. Revenants are trivial and a joy to fight compared to these ABSOLUTE DEMONS. Thank GOD, THANK GOD you arent required to fight too many of them in the game. I expect a dungeon full of these freaks in the DLC. FML.

WTF DID I DO TO THEM?!?

I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!

Farming guide (99 arc, 35 dex, 16 str)
Start at Ordina grace, go straight west until off the cliff, and move along the base until right under the two archers. Then use Mohg's spear to kill them safer. Then go to the one shooting at you, after which you can use Morgott's sword to make fighting the wolfback archers a little easier, as the rushdown can stagger them and the lingering flames help keep them staggered even if they dodge the first slice. Just make sure you have enough mind to spam it, as it can be a hassle to try to drink a blue.

Submit

for anyone struggling with these guys just try walking diagonally towards them and then jump attacking when your in range. you can also just try to bait the attack where the guy shoots three arrows in a row and then the wolf dashes at you because you can pretty easily dodge it and then punish them for a lot of damage. also make sure to not try to use spells or anything because you will 90% either miss the shot or get shot beforre you finish. hope this helps someone

Submit

Scorpion's Stinger + 100% phys shield works surprisingly well against the wolf riders

Submit

GIDEON OFNIR DID NOTHING WRONG

Submit

when they aren't on their dogs, they can be backstabbed. bust out the miseriecord and slam them into the ground.

Submit

I'd be less likely to care about their damage if they didn't have crucible knight level health. since when did a skinny anorexic who's wrists would snap upon getting hit by a pebble become a tank?

Submit

absolute unfair enemy with ridiculous health pool, way to absurd hig fire rate, faster than a shortbow, with a long bow, massive damage output

also that if ONE spots you, the other 2 will lock on you and snipe you from kilometeres away, don't bother sneaking either, they will instantly aggro if you're a few meters from them, even in their back

just make their set and bow a static drop or nerf them, hard, they're stupidly unfair for no reason beyind artificial difficulty

Submit

It's some kind of cruel joke how Latenna is so situational as a summon, and then you get put on the receiving end of the Endless Vigor Check from 3k+ HP damage sponges and realize just how hard she's been sandbagging under your command.

Sir Gideon Ofnir, The All-Knowing did nothing wrong.

Submit

now i understand gideon,truly the all knowing of all time

Submit

Tried various strategies and finally decided sideways running and jumping attacks are the best way to hit them, every other skill and spell is too damn slow. Hardest non-boss enemy without a doubt, way worse than revenants.

Submit

TOTAL ALBINAURIC DEATH!!!

Submit

Sir Gideon Ofnir The All-Knowing!

Submit

I craft poop pots just to throw them at these enemies after I kill them

Submit

mohgs spear skill is good at getting some of them on the rooftops without them obliterating you

Submit

Im glad the community can come together here, hold hands, and express pure absolute hatred against the albinaurics.

Just like in dbz abridged, we should eradicate them all

Submit

Can you say "Unfair enemy design for the sake of artificial difficulty"?

Submit

My favorite thing to do is beat the last archer to death with my bare hands.... slowly

Submit

These are genuinely the worst enemies to farm in the entire game. All they do is spam arrows and they're surrounded with wolves.

Submit

i can understand why rykard did that to the albinaurics

Submit

I carry Latenna and her mutt on my back through the entire continent and the reward is a rain of arrows. After that, I really couldn't blame Gideon anymore for exterminating their entire village. These things need to be wiped from the lands between

Submit

these enemies are awful and annoying but imagine how cool it would be if there was a boss version that teleported like the lothric princes

Submit

It's really dumb that they just spam endlessly with no delay until you flinch them. They will literally shoot the wall covering you becuase their ai is so dedicated to just spam-firing

Submit

I remember one of these guys shot Torrent in the stinker. Made me wince. I'll never forgive them.

Submit

After fighting these bastards, I have to agree with golden order fanatics: albinaurics deserve suffering and genocide

Submit

how did they get on top of the roof when they can't walk

Submit

You just know...

Submit

This game picks the weirdest enemies to give tons of damage output and super armor to...

Submit

Who in the blue hell programmed their damage?! I need to talk to that person asap.

Submit

Feels good tossing these Bih's around like ragdolls with Giantsflame Take Thee.

Submit

Killed the archer on the western side of the northmost tower using Ambush Shard from the stairway towards the teleporter (also had Arrow's Reach talisman equipped, but should work without it). Immediately run towards the wall after each shot, or you get hit. The archer on the eastern side is no threat.

Submit

On higher playthroughs just run past these enemies. Absolutely broken damage and aimbot. Mounted archers are impossible melee

Submit

If you're looking to farm for their armor, I highly recommend doing it after you've beaten Elden Beast. Why? Because the Sacred Relic Sword's Wave of Gold skill is by far the easiest way to kill them. Start at the Ordina, Liturgical Town site of grace, run south, and you'll find a white wolf with an albinauric archer sitting nearby. Use Wave of Gold to knock both of them off the hill, and this should also hit a second albinauric archer that's downhill of the first one. Stay in this spot and keep spamming Wave of Gold - you'll see that it actually travels down the hill and hits the two archers and nearby wolves, so you can kill them all from this safe spot. Finally, run across the way to a third archer (who's probably been shooting at you this whole time, but if you stand in the right spot at the beginning she shouldn't be able to hit you), jump up the rocks and stand on the other side of the boulder from her so she can't hit you, and use Wave of Gold. It should travel through the boulder and knock her down; you can keep spamming from here or just run up and backstab her. Now fast travel back to the site of grace and repeat. With a +9 Sacred Relic Sword and 69 Faith, my Wave of Gold kills them in two hits. Hope this helps.

Submit

So, at 99 arcane and four hours of farming them with two full blue silver mail sets, I have a strategy.

Gear: magic drake talisman +2, cleanrot knight armor for some of the best piercing res in the game, along with either the pearldrake talisman for extra 10% magic resistance or whatever talismans you want to boost your build.

Offensive strategy, start off at the northern snowfield grace and attack the two albinaurics by the large tree shortly due north of it. Kill the one sitting down with liberal use of carian slicer or spamming it with wide sweeps of your chosen weapon. With slashes you should be able to kill the wolves around it with a few attacks as they're close together. Then with a large stamina/fp bar you should be able to one/two combo it to death before the wolfrider can attack you. Again, carian slicer/adula moonblade are the two best tools for the job.

For the wolf rider that's already attacking you, you use the trees as cover to heal up, then you charge it and again stunlock it with the carian melee sorceries. Nothing else in my personal kit stunlocks them as effectively.

The three albinaurics in the distance are... difficult solo. Best you can do is lure the alpha wolf away and kill it in cover, then knock down one of the albinaurics on the cliff, whilst killing the other and tanking the one in the distance. Heal when you're two hits away from dying.

Then you kill the one on the ground and if you're lucky you can use the rocks as cover from the last one. Then you finish off the last one along with the last minor wolf that's likely just now started attacking you.

Tldr: piercing+magic resis, lots of stamina and/or fp. Kill the two by the large tree as they're the easiest to farm.

I came here to write this comment after being exceedingly frustrated with this enemy.
The way I dealt with the few that are unavoidable during the puzzle was with a Greatbow.
Wolfback Archers are Albinaurics, their legs don't work. This means we can use knockback effects to permanently displace them so their powerful ranged abilities are neutered.

There is one tower in the center of the village that allows you to oversee the entire area. Climb on it and activate the first beacon.
Then look towards the next beacon, there should be two archers near it. Even without any dexterity, the knockback still works.

I tried magic damage negation buffs (Barrier of Gold, Spelldrake Talisman +2), I had 80%+ magic damage reduction and the arrrows still slaughtered me even with 60 Vigor and Tree Sentinel armor.
Make sure to buy the Torch from the "Hermit Merchant's Shack" cite of grace close to the Royal Capital's outer border to hold in your offhand as you move through the village to reveal invisible Assassins.
You can expect to encounter 1-2 Assassins. At least that's what I encountered.

Submit

Sneaking past Ordina to avoid these gals is like fighting The End from Snake Eater.

Submit

Yes but what are their weaknesses? Susceptible a specific element?

Submit

They are so cute riding woofs :3

Submit

Spinning Strikes makes you immune to fired projectiles while holding the WA.

Submit

For melee or non-sorcery users, the Spinning Strikes ash of war actually helps a great deal when attacking the stationary Albinauric Archers. The reason:

"Spinning Strikes: Polearm skill that performs continuous spinning attacks. Hold to continue the attack. Can be followed up with a normal or strong attack. Nullifies projectiles such as arrows while spinning." https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Ash+of+War:+Spinning+Strikes

If you have a decent FP pool and Carian Filigreed Crest, you can hold block on a 100% physical resist shield, walk up archers one-by-one and start spinning the weapon art until they're dead. Then, run behind cover, recharge FP and stamina, and repeat with the next clump until they're all dead. I used about 200 FP with a +18 scythe to kill 3 archers, which is worth it in my book for how annoying they are.

Submit

In my experience, spamming Carian Greatsword/Adula's Moonblade while mounted can stunlock the wolf riders pretty easily/consistently.
I doubt it matters but 22 Dex was enough without Radagon Icon, so just equip that if casting speed is an issue

Submit

Most talented archers in the Lands Between and they still shoot at a brick wall for 30 seconds straight after I break line of sight

Submit

Never have I seen such terrible damage balancing in a game before, like holy **** man. I’m wearing for Gelmir Knight armor with 60 vigor (1900 HP) and these archers take away damn near a third of my health per arrow. Not to mention that they have stupidly high health for no reason whatsoever. Jesus ****, Consecrated Snowfield is a mistake of an area.

Submit

Giantsflame Take Thee is excellent against the ones in Ordina, atleast in my experience since not only does it deal pretty impressive damage most importantly it ragdolls them and is very good at knocking them off the buildings they snipe you from, they're thankfully easy pickings up close since they have poor poise, and don't have any way to cause you much trouble in melee without their wolves.

Submit

Get sniped lol

Submit

These things have BS tracking that It can shoot you when you're at their back or their right hand side where it is physically impossible to fire at as a mounted archer. The animation is just a suggestion, they can shoot you while aiming at the ground for all FS devs care.

Submit

Cancer

Submit

Anyone else find it a little immersion breaking and jarring that these guys are hostile to you and you might have to kill them even if you have Latenna's spirit with you? You're on this cross-region quest to help her get back to her homeland and give the giant albinauric woman the birthing droplet so that they can continue to reproduce, but you end up killing some of them? I'd be kind of cool if they implemented some code so that if you had done Latennas quest up until that point and had her spirit ash in your inventory, they wouldn't be hostile towards you.

Submit

They have no poise and are easy to stagger. Give them a taste of their own medicine with a light bow and stunlock them to death with poison/rot arrows.

Submit

Use the greatbow, knock them to the other side of the roof. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Submit

Wearing the Spelldrake talisman and slapping on Barrier of Gold helps out a lot since their arrows deal magic damage

Submit

They seem too be weak to holy damage. The halo scythes WA at +10 with 60 faith did around 1k per pop.

Submit

You know, we should be thankful that they decided not to put 2-3 of these murder machine ladies in a random cave/catacomb/dungeon somewhere in the snowfield.

Submit

After experiencing this bs im going team Gideon. He was onto something when genociding that albinaruic village after all, shouldnt have stopped him

Submit

What an enemy, appparently has an infinite stack of arrows, when one gets alerted all other ones within a range of 949484929293938 ft start shooting at you as well, they literally do NOTHING but fire arrows at you in the exact same pattern even if you stand directly in front of them and all you get for killing them is some of the most mid looking armor in the entire game. They make you wanna kick people out wheelchairs irl

Submit

Pain in the ass to fight but at least it's a unique enemy in that copypasta ass snowfield

Submit

If you're a caster; use Night Maiden's Mist against the immobile ones. Cast Mist, wait for it to run out. Then cast Mist again, and they should be dead. As they are being choked to death by your fumes, you can make dinner or something idk.

Still one of the most BS enemies in the game. Crippled, frail women should NOT have that much health.

Submit

The most unfair BS enemy in the game, not because with 60 vigor and 55% dmg negation they can take 1/3 of my health bar in a single hit, it's because their arrows apparently have no drop-off and do full damage even from outside the players lock on range

Submit

Insanely strong enemy. The wolf does this combo of 5 attacks that ends in the rider shooting a burst of homing arrows that will hit you in the head for extra damage and sweet stunlock and her frost spell covers an insanely large area.

Submit

I guess Lorian decided to take up archery

Submit

Imagine you're back in Andor Londo, except now the archers are sprinting at you, can breath frostbite, and bite you WHILE still doing a 3 arrow burstfire.
That is what these f***ing b*st*rds basically are. If you manage to make it through this section and not kill one of them out of pure blinding hate, you're a better man than I am. There are times in this game I *want* to be able to kick/stab the bodies and not just have them lie there ragdolling. These enemies are definitely one of those.

Submit

Latenna is that you?

Submit

O god it is little lorians

Submit

These mfs are stationary dungeon mini-bosses, if they had the agility and movement of Black Knife Assassins or Pages, they can take over the Lands Between. Demigods dont have anything on these mfs,I would understand why god had to nerf them by not making them walk.

Submit

Not only do they have more HP than most bosses, not only are they immune to heavy staggers (I can only light stagger them), not only do their REGULAR arrows turn towards you midflight, but they also seem to have infinite tracking. I have had instances where I agro'd them, rode to the other side of the snowfields and back, and still had them shoot towards me. These enemies are just cracked.

Eho thought putting those archers on wolves was a good idea?!
We've got birds with flamehrowers and wolves with sniper rifles, what's next, dragonflies with RPG's?

Submit

why the poison immunity tho, like, why?

Submit

I only encounter 2 Assasins and 2 Albinauric archers, the first assasin was on the center were you see the spirit in normal world, and the second under de "bridge" that go to the western lamp, you can chees it ranged, and with the armor and the talismas, the albinauric on the center buildings doesn't see you until you are pretty close, but also lvl 153 with int 74, faith 35, against the assasins blade of adula works pretty well

They have super high poison resistance, probably around 1000+.

no chill, tons of damage and tank all your damage. Great stuff FromSoft

Does anybody even kill these things?? they're so tanky for no reason and boring af i always just run past them

The amount of runes they give is just a testament that fromsoft knew how broken this enemy was when they made them

Better start practicing against these guys because i heard there will be Albinaurics riding blood birds from mohg palace in the dlc. Get ready or get rekt.

It's like they put the ancestral followers on runebears, reskinned them, and then gave them more health than half the bosses and called it a day.

I'm quite sure, 5 of these fecks scattered across the arena could easily kill Radahn

IMMUNE to poison is what really grinds my gears

Submit

What bow do they use?

Submit

To farm or kill, ride horseback and spam Swift Glintstone Shard while just holding circling them with lock-on and going one direction left or right. Kill the wolf first, but i think the woman first is just fine too. (The one outside Ordina)
