Tips for defeating the Acolytes

Let's start immediately by telling you that the Acolytes they cannot be murdered in any way. We tried over and over again, but it always led to the fight starting without the surprise effect.
So, avoid even trying, as the only result you will have will be that of being discovered.

Instead, as a first step, we recommend that you mount your horse and approach the target from behind. Once close enough, climb onto the saddle (by pressing the Circle or B key, depending on the playing platform), jump over to the acolyte and press the light attack key.
This will allow you to take a lot of life from your opponent and knock him to the ground, allowing you to land a few more attacks.

Once the fight has begun, pay attention to the opponent's movements. These warriors are fearsome even at much lower levels than yours (especially if you are playing on a high difficulty level), so never take the fight lightly and, above all, don't be reckless.

The characteristics of the Acolytes are almost always the same, with slight variations in the level of weapons and skills. Some use toxic substances to weaken you, others smoke or stun devices, still others devastating javelins or booby traps.
The best ways to avoid these attacks, often carried out from a distance, is to use the skill Reversal of the bullet which allows you to "return the package to the sender" by pressing the parade button at the right moment. By doing this you will not only avoid losing a lot of health, but you will also be able to inflict massive damage on your opponents.

The most challenging Acolytes are those with shields. It doesn't matter what weapon they have at their disposal: what will cause you the most problems is their defense.
The best way to break it is to use a hunting bow and charge the blow to the maximum, so as to make the enemy stagger and make a momentary melee approach possible.

But the most important advice that we feel like giving you, especially if you don't have too much desire to waste hours and hours facing these warriors, is to use the loaded shot with the hunting bow, unlockable in the talent tree.
This move will allow you to fire two arrows simultaneously, with a devastating impact force that will stop your enemy's advance.
Using this method, it takes about three or four well-placed shots to defeat your opponents, especially if you have improved your bow. A tactic that can be applied to any other battle, from legendary animals to drengr.
But be careful! Once charged, the shot can no longer be stopped, so make sure you can hit the target before issuing the command.
