Be Wary of New Enemies
There are a few enemy types that behave quite differently from what you would normally expect of a typical FromSoft foe. For example, the snow wolves in Ashes of Ariandel are nothing like the aggressive dogs that you’ve encountered in the base game and past Dark Souls entries. Instead of teleporting to you and rushing you aggressively, the wolves like to hang back and observe you before striking. However, don’t be tempted to go in for an easy kill. Wolves, in particular, have a tendency to circle you while waiting for backup from their fellow pack mates, so you’d do well to observe your surroundings as well and make sure you don’t get ambushed.
Aside from the wolves, there are a couple of other enemy types that play pretty aggressively, and can launch attack combos that feel swift and unpredictable. In cases like these, don’t panic and just remember to use your rolling i-frames if you have to. Shields will help, but don’t forget that enemy attacks can deplete your stamina while blocking, and they could guard break you if you’re not careful.
