Day 9: Flap Flap Flap

Day 9, “Flap Flap Flap”, is the 3rd day in Whisperwood. It happens at noon with clear weather, and 72 enemies march in over 4 waves, including 3 golden elites. The battle lasts about 2:20 on Normal.

Captain Bramble says: “Flap flap flap! A cloud of bats. Aim up high!”

Not a cloud in the sky. Perfect for aiming!

What it looks like

Midday god-rays pour through the canopy onto dappled moss. The brightest the forest ever gets, so the bat cloud reads as a black scribble against it.

Weather: Clear

No effect.

Not a cloud in the sky. Perfect for aiming!
