Lightning strikes are often preceded by the Ram raising its head and horns toward the sky.

The Ram can perform a powerful ground slam with its front hooves, creating a shockwave that stuns players and damages nearby structures.

This attack is often used when players attempt to take shelter behind obstacles.

Survival Strategies

Evasion & Cover

When The Ram prepares to charge, immediately seek solid cover behind large trees, rocks, or structures. Avoid hiding behind flimsy structures that can be destroyed.

Weather Awareness

The Ram is more aggressive and powerful during stormy weather. Consider staying in your base during thunderstorms to avoid encounters.

Lightning strikes are more frequent during storms!
