Do a running attack towards a gargoyle with your melee weapon (press the Left Analog-stick + Right Analog-stick in the direction you want to move and pull the trigger), and keep pulling the trigger as fast as possible. Your hunter keeps
attacking and you will not get hit. To defeat gargoyles easily, select your melee weapon and attack the its right side.
Because you are standing to the side of its body, it will attack you with its tail. Since this attack swings the tail,-block 90 degrees counter-clockwise and you will be out of its path. The gargoyle will end its turn facing you, so you will have to
move to its side again. If done correctly, you will avoid all damage.
