How to get Hood-Snatcher
Game dataIn-game condition: “Decapitate 3 enemies with a single Claymore attack.”
Hood-Snatcher needs one Claymore attack to decapitate three enemies at once, so you need a crowd and a swing that kills all three. The Claymore's charged attack is the answer: its first charged swing deals ×2.5 damage, 125 at level 1 and 250 at level 10, against 50 for a plain swing.
Shambling Civilians (80 Health at level 1, 162 spawners) and Risen Soldiers (100 Health at level 1, 187 spawners, the most common enemy) both die to one charged swing at any Claymore level, and they come in groups. Let three close in, step back, charge the heavy attack and release as they line up in front of you.
The Claymore is picked up in Cursed Hollow, at Deep Water. It can't parry, so block or dodge while the group gathers.
