Weighing on the higher end of the heavy armor sets, the Exile Set is a very well-balanced armor set. When fully upgraded however, its physical defenses are second only to the Giant Set and it provides the highest Flame Defense of any armor set. The Black Iron Set is relatively light-weight compared to other heavy armor sets, and has correspondingly lower damage resistance, excluding Fire resistance and Poise. Havel the Rock is one of the few exceptions for common hollows throughout all the Soulsborne games (aside from Demon’s Souls and anything prior). Can you backstab Havel the Rock?Īs an alternative, Havel technically has a heavy roll, making it very easy to backstab him if you can manage to confuse his AI enough to have him start rolling instead of simply tanking through all of your damage. Most of his attacks are slow, which makes backstabbing him easy.
Can be guard-broken, flattered and pinned down. One-handed attacks can be parried, two-handed can’t.
