Notes

• Though Aural Decory works on more enemy types than the Alluring Skull, it often fails to work on larger groups of enemies that are normally distract-able with it (only catching the attention of a select few). The Alluring Skull works more consistently on large groups, and is therefore recommended for the enemies that it works on.

The following enemies can be distracted by Aural Decoy:

• All human-sized NPCs (excluding invading phantoms, blacksmiths and Marvellous Chester)
• Armored Tusk
• Balder Knight
• Basilisk
• Black Knight
