Weak melee combatant found wandering the streets and rooftops, often wielding pitchforks or pipes.

Bomb-throwing Puppet

Perches on rooftops and ledges, throwing explosive projectile canisters at the player from long range.

Large Police Puppet

Wields a heavy baton; possesses high poise, unblockable fury attacks, and high posture resistance.

Tips

Purchase and equip the Electric Coil Stick from the Wandering Merchant early on, as its innate Electric Blitz damage exploits the primary weakness of nearly all puppet enemies in this chapter.
Watch for glowing red attacks from bosses and elite puppets, which are Fury Attacks that cannot be dodged or normally blocked; they must be avoided entirely by running away or countered with a Perfect Guard.
