The armored ghouls are a lot like the skeletons but they cannot block. Instead they require additional damage in order to kill them. Avoiding these armored ghouls is nearly impossible because of their size; use your blocking ability to avoid being attacked after your first offensive. These bigger enemies tend to dwell in the more difficult areas of the upper walkway obstacles. Defeating an armored ghoul is simple, but it is a good idea to stay on the defensive, especially if you are low on health.
