File:Wartburg's Monster (Riposte).gif

Summary
One of my least favorite monsters, as far as move sets go. It will swing two quick times, both of which can be parried / riposted, but will then follow up with an overhead, double-claw swipe that you cannot riposte, or parry. If you manage to hit a riposte window on the first two attacks, however, it will stagger the creature, similar to an Acolyte, or the Grey Guards in Yortael. Wartburg's Monsters are another set of more complicated enemies, who will use acid to zone you out of close range, usually favoring a leap attack next, then going back to their triple attack. They are very responsive to your positioning, compared to pretty much everything else, except for Iron Claw Defenders.
