Matterhorns attack by charging at an enemy and ramming with their horns. They are also capable of jumping over obstacles while in pursuit. They have a short aggro range and won't charge unless they see an enemy. If the enemy moves out of range, the Matterhorn will lose interest.
Tactics[]
Tips & Attacks[]
The tactics for all classes are generally the same. One thing you must be aware of as you face a Matterhorn is any obstacles behind you. If an obstacle is close, the Matterhorn will ram it after passing through you and bounce back into you when you are no longer protected. Be sure to leave enough room or, if it's not available, jump forward causing the Matterhorn to turn before hitting the obstacle.
Aeronaut[]
Best plan of attack seems to be to attack it from short range and let it run through you while you are immune from harm. Then just turn around and repeat until the Matterhorn is no more. Alternatively you can play it more aggressively and shoot the Matterhorn and charge through it yourself, or less aggressively, especially if you experience lag issues, and jump up as the Matterhorn charges through your previous position.
Ferric[]
Matterhorns are quite easy for Ferrics. Best tactic is to slash them when they come at you and then walk through them while they are hit. Turn around and repeat. You know that they are about to charge when their eyes turn pink, that's a good time to slash. It is also possible to ram them back using the rolling attack (Press the down arrow key on hard ground then press S)
Crag[]
The easiest way to kill a Matterhorn is to stick to a wall just above its reach and hit it when it charges. If there is no wall, just jump over it when it charges and hit it with a downward blow. You can also attack it when it charges so it runs through you and repeat after it turns around.
