Seraphites Battle Tips

Eliminate Isolated Enemies First

The Seraphites rely on whistled communication, so if their whistles go unanswered, they become wary and suspicious. Therefore, prioritize eliminating isolated enemies without nearby companions and gradually reduce their numbers one by one.

Remove Arrows by Pressing the R1 Button

Seraphites Characteristics

Preference for Stealth

Seraphite members prefer stealth and use whistling to communicate with distant allies. Many Scars also utilize long-range weapons, such as bows and arrows, alongside guns.

Execution by Hanging

Hanging in The Last of Us Part II

As you progress through the story, you may encounter bodies hanging from trees or other structures. These individuals were killed by the Seraphites as a form of execution. The Seraphites carry out hangings as punishment for captured WLF members and other trespassing individuals.
