Revision 1

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.

Where to Find Wolves

• Foothills forested zones; packs patrol the terrain between rocky outcroppings

• Around Foothills Pirate Camps; sometimes act as ambient threats

• Near the entrance to Israel Hands' temple; wolves act as outer guards

Hunting Strategy

• Engage wolves from elevated terrain when possible; they cannot climb steep cliffs the way Mountain Goats can

• Use AoE weapons (greatswords, halberds) to hit multiple wolves per swing

• Open with a ranged shot to soften the alpha or thin the pack before melee

• Bring at least 5 Bandages; pack damage compounds quickly if you lose stamina mid-fight

• Stock up on Wolf Fang during Foothills runs; the resource is gated to this biome

• Keep your back to a wall or terrain feature to prevent rear flanking
