Banshee
¨The Banshee’s slim figure still clings to the remnants of a provocative evening dress and hangs with gold jewelry. Its once-beautiful hands are now disfigured and lopsided, and the manicured nails have turned into claws.¨
The Banshee is a monster in Dying Light 2 Stay Human.
Description
A vivid symbol of punishment for the sins of vanity and unbridled consumerism. Pieces of her evening dress still cling to the Banshee’s petite body, as does some gold jewelry. Her hands have transformed into claws, her manicured nails—into talons. Although Banshee is driven by instincts, her behavior seems to indicate some unsettling remnants of humanity. Could there be a woman trapped within the rotting flesh of this witch, tormented by brief flashes of lucidity?
The Banshee is a smaller Infected. It was a female Viral that presumably made contact with chemicals before becoming a Volatile, and the mutation derailed into this. The very first Banshee was a female scientist that was trapped in the THV GenMod 2 gas during the Black Monday event. She stands around or a little shorter than the typical Infected and is notably emaciated. She wears a badly worn and torn revealing black dress. Her lower jaw is split, and skin is covered with small glowing sores and boils. Her head has only a few patches of black hair remaining. Her thin arms have bangles and end with two painfully swollen and oversized hands that have long claws adorned with rings.
The Banshee is a fast moving infected that is surprisingly acrobatic, and will use leaping and lunging attacks with her agility and her oversized claws.
Strategy
The Banshee has only one main attack being her pounce(Power attack thus can not be blocked only dodged) and the ability to jump on other infected + up to roof tops ,her main strength is when the Player is being bogged down/distracted with other infected allowing her to get more successful pounces.
Main weaknesses of the Banshee is she is easy to stagger as well as being frail with no other attack beside the pounce (effectively if you get close and no other threats, she is going to die/take as much damage as you can put out before running out of stamina) as well as her main attack is the pounce which is fairly easy to dodge/see coming if alone.
The Hag
The Hag is a rare mutation of the Banshee. The Hag can infect enemies with her toxic fog and turn bandits or Renegades into something known as a Plague Bearer. She's immune to sunlight and UV radiation. She's also able to spit a small acid projectile, like for example Spitter's or Volatile's do. She can often be encountered alongside bandits or Renegades during The Hag's hunting grounds activity.
