Elden Ring - The Loop

"

Deep within the center of the Weald stands a gigantic tree that towers higher up all other trees, and hidden inside the gnarled and twisted branches of this tree is the Shrieker's Nest. Like the Noble Raven depicted on our family unit's Coat of Arms, this poor creature has seen improve days, for the corruption that plagues the estate has twisted this feathered bird into a feathered fiend. Despite existence corrupted, this feathered fiend is still a Raven at eye and has an centre for everything that glitters and shines. The Nest of the Shrieker is decorated with all the shiny and glittering Trinkets information technology has stolen from our Trinkets Chest or taken from the dead bodies of our fallen heroes. Reclaiming these items will non be easy, for the Shrieker will defend its Nest from whatever intruders. But if Shrieker feels that it is not worth its life to protect his hoard of treasures, it volition carelessness its nest and escape to live some other day, gratis to steal more of our rare and valuable Trinkets.

„

Behaviour [ ]

The Shrieker is an Eldritch/Fauna Issue Boss plant in the Weald fought alongside its Nest, both of which take up two slots. The Shrieker has attacks that move it forrard and backwards, meaning you're going to need to switch between attacking the front and dorsum lines.

On the Shrieker's concluding turn during Circular 4, information technology will use Shrieking Flight, dealing 50 stress damage to all heroes before flying away, ending the boxing.

Appearance [ ]

The Shrieker can appear post-obit 3 different events:

• During A Thief in the Night event, when the Shrieker steals 8 random trinkets from the trinket inventory. This outcome can happen after week 42, appears only once and volition be bachelor on the map until y'all articulate information technology;
• After y'all lose 8 trinkets (with expressionless heroes or in town activities), y'all can fight the Shrieker to get your lost treasures back. This event will stay on the map until you articulate information technology;
• During the Shrieker'south Prize event, where you lot can hunt the Shrieker in gild to get one of its unique trinkets. This issue can happen subsequently week 15. Information technology volition expire if yous don't articulate it on the aforementioned week when it appears, simply information technology tin happen multiple times during the campaign, even if yous already acquired all Shrieker trinkets (in this case the quest advantage console will be empty).

Strategy [ ]

You just have four turns to kill the Shrieker before it flees. If it does, though, there is no penalisation other than the Stress your heroes accumulated, and the quest will still be marked as completed. If you're here to reclaim your lost Trinkets or to earn a Shrieker's Prize, you tin can only focus on survival until these iv turns have passed.

Forget about buying most items, every bit any quest for the Shrieker drops correct into the fight and then ends afterwards. Your light is already at 100 unless you douse it yourself. There's thus no reason to buy nutrient, torches, shovels, etc. You exercise however want bandages, herbs, and holy water for the fight. You must also make up one's mind if yous want to kill the bird, or smash its nest. Your advantage for the former is a higher chance at obtaining positive Corvid quirks, while the reward for doing the latter is a lot of valuable treasure. Doing both is probably not going to piece of work due to the strict time limit. Regardless of your choice, exist prepared to hit slots one or 2 + 3 or 4, equally the Shrieker + nest both accept up 2 slots, and will regularly switch sides. A grade that can't always hit both sides (such equally the Leper) is not platonic to bring.

The Shrieker has 3 deportment per round, making any debuffs practical to it mostly worthless. It's quite vulnerable to bleeds though, while beingness resistant to bane. It has 0 prot, relying instead on an incredibly high dodge to avoid attacks. Since you tin't rely on debuffs, consider buffing your ain political party'south accuracy. The Human At Artillery and Jester excel for this. They can buff the entire political party'southward accuracy, making this dodgy bird easier to hit. Another adept choice is the Houndmaster, which not just gets a harm bonus vs beast, but as well obtains an accuracy bonus from dog treats. If yous have an Occultist, he besides gets a damage bonus since the Shrieker is also eldritch. The Hellion is another solid choice, bringing a drain attack that tin can hit the Shrieker in either position. But these choices will struggle to hit without buffs. Another strategy to consider is riposte. It is constantly triggered by the Shrieker'southward numerous attacks.

With its 3 turns per round, the Shrieker will avalanche your party with attacks. To keep up the pace and win under the strict time limit, use items to counter its attacks. It will drain and debuff your political party, so bandages, herbs, and holy water are highly recommended. It also inflicts stress, but the fight is spring to end before this is of whatsoever concern. If you brought the necessary items, healing is less important, and will allow more than turns to attack. All the same, do bear in mind that the Shrieker has a high critical rate and can bring a grapheme with low max HP to 0 health in a unmarried attack that can bestow bleeding.

If y'all're focusing on destroying the nest, it's a much simpler task. It's immune to debuffs and DoTs so bring heroes with high damage output. Mark synergies are likewise smashing if you accept plenty damage bonuses. A healer is also a viable choice in this setup but to aid with enduring the Shrieker's harassment.

Team Option [ ]

Preferred Heroes [ ]

• Hellion - Groovy raw damage to either the forepart or back for smashing the Nest.
• Abomination - Once transformed, he tin can easily hitting either target regardless of their position. Mind his Stress levels.
• Houndmaster - No better identify to expend your Dog Treats. Harm bonus against Beasts is fantastic if you lot want to kill the Shrieker.
• Highwayman - The Shrieker'south many attacks expose information technology to frequent Riposte damage.

Reasonable Choices [ ]

• Leper - Swell raw damage for Nest-peachy, just poor accurateness makes it hard to hit the Shrieker.
• Occultist - His Vulnerability Hex provides a nice Dodge reduction debuff against the Shrieker, though it runs out apace. His bonus damage against the Eldritch helps.
• Jester - Manage the political party'southward Stress and then that they're non out of committee once you render to the Hamlet. Buff their Accurateness if you want to actually hitting the Shrieker.
• Man-At-Arms - Good Stress reduction buff for the fight, but it's not ideal under the fourth dimension limit.
• Arbalest/Musketeer - If y'all've marked the Nest she can do tremendous harm to it and destroy it inside the time limit. But her Mark and DODGE debuff run out quickly on the Shrieker so she'southward non as effective there.

Discouraged Heroes [ ]

• Plague Dr. - Both targets are resistant to Blight, relegating her to giving support and some Bleeds.
• Antiquarian - The quest is just the Shrieker fight; no curios to be institute here. A Dodge buff can be adept for survival, but otherwise there is piffling reason for taking her along.

Trivia [ ]

• While the battle itself remains unchanged for the quest you fight it in, the music for the battle does non. If the quest is Shrieker'due south Prize, it is the Mournweald Encounter, the normal battle music for the Weald. If the quest is A Thief in the Nighttime or recovering lost trinkets from fallen heroes, the music is Town in Chaos, the battle music from Wolves at the Door.
• When The Shrieker "flees", the quest condition about killing i Shrieker is fulfilled; the Shrieker may in reality exist killing itself past using Shrieking Flying.
• In that location are Apprentice and Veteran version of this dominate. They are chosen Callous Shrieker and Cretinous Shrieker, respectively. While Shrieker's Prize will e'er feature the Champion Version of the Boss, A Thief in the Night may characteristic the Apprentice or Veteran version of the dominate, depending on the highest rarity of Trinket that was lost on the battlefield.
• This is the only encounter in the game that appears in the first room. The player can still campsite in the showtime room in other expeditions after exploring a minimum of one room and coming dorsum, so getting ambushed in the nighttime.

• The Shrieker's attacks are programmed to move him forrard and back four positions. This is despite only requiring to move 3 positions to e'er end up in the showtime and 4th positions later on executing each motion respectively.
• Using a unmarried Grave Robber, it was possible to spam Shadow Fade to remain Stealthed until the Shrieker flies off. The Shrieker was unable to target anyone Stealthed, and thus the Grave Robber would remain untouched throughout the fight. This exploit has been patched out in Dec 2018, as the Shrieker's attacks have been given the ability to ignore Stealth.
• Unequiped trinkets lost after a political party wipe won't be retrieved by the Shrieker. Every trinket equipped past the hero will add to the eight lost trinkets total, but those on your inventory at the time of the party wipe are lost forever.
