Ciri's Story: Out of the Shadows

Ciri’s Story: Out of the Shadows is the conclusion of the Bloody Baron’s tale with Ciri. Their race was interrupted by a Basilisk.

Monster Fight: Basilisk

The Basilisk is a lot like the Griffin. Ciri doesn’t have a crossbow to bring down the monster. When it is in the sky, stay locked on and watch out for it's dive attack. Dodge aside and slice it up. Do your best to stay on it's side. If you are in front of it, the Basilisk will strike out at you with a poison attack. You will take damage for three seconds.

At the end of the fight, the Basilisk grabs the baron and takes him to the top of the tower. Climb up the tower to kill the basilisk and save the baron.
