11 Wolves are aggressive predators in Windrose's Foothills biome. They hunt in packs of 2 to 4, coordinate flanking attacks, and drop Wolf Fang (a crafting material for some weapon and accessory recipes), Animal Fat, and Rough Hide. Pack tactics and rapid mobility make wolves significantly more dangerous than solo Foothills wildlife like Mountain Goats. Approach a wolf encounter prepared for crowd control.

1212 Where to Find Wolves
1313  
1414 Foothills forested zones; packs patrol the terrain between rocky outcroppingsAround Foothills Pirate Camps; sometimes act as ambient threatsNear the entrance to Israel Hands' temple; wolves act as outer guardsMost active in the evening and at night; Hunting runs after dusk turn up wolves more reliably than daytime sweeps. The Foothills sit roughly in the level 5 to 10 progression band.Wolves will attack Mountain Goat on their own. If you catch a wolf already locked onto a goat, let the scrap play out: the wolf takes chip damage from the fight and is far easier to finish.

2323 Engage wolves from elevated terrain when possible; they cannot climb steep cliffs the way Mountain Goats canUse AoE weapons (greatswords, halberds) to hit multiple wolves per swingOpen with a ranged shot to thin the pack before meleeBring at least 5 Bandages; pack damage compounds quickly if you lose stamina mid-fightStock up on Wolf Fang during Foothills runs; the resource is gated to this biomeKeep your back to a wall or terrain feature to prevent rear flanking
