Enemy health in Cycle 1

Head from the First Meeting with Yu’er bell toward the Red Thread Barrier bell in Weeping Creek Valley. A camp sits directly on that path with a Throwing Brute, a Sword Brute, an Iron Mask and a Gold Mask, while four more Brutes wait on a lower shelf about 19.5 m below, away from the route.

On the first cycle, that camp is modest. The Sword Brute has 400 HP, the Iron Mask has 880 HP and the Gold Mask has 1,700 HP.

On Wayfarer, the lowest difficulty, each Throwing Brute and Sword Brute has 7,440 HP in Cycle 1. The Iron Mask has 16,368 HP, while the Gold Mask reaches 31,620 HP. For the three enemies appearing in both cycles, that is roughly 18.6 times their first-cycle HP.
