Farfarello/gameplay

They are stronger than regular Hunters and slightly larger. They can be rendered visible by scanning them with the Genesis or inflicting heavy damage. Their locations can also be compromised by a weapon's laser sight as the laser's point will become rounded when one has been moved over. Their footsteps kick up snow, which can also denote their position.

It can decapitate and instantly kill you in one hit, even if it is invisible.

Raid Mode
While invisible, their health bars will also be hidden.

In the 3DS version of the game, their associated wanted mission is called "Defeat Farfarello (Defeat 5)" which has the description "You won't be able to find these creatures with your eye. But if you have the skill, you should be able to take down 5 of them.". The missions is worth 25000 BP.

In the port versions of the game, Farfarello count as "Beast" type enemies effected by the "Hunting Gear" custom parts.

Strategy
In Campaign Mode, players can use the Genesis scanner to reveal a Farfarello's location and they will remain visible for a short amount of time, giving players the opportunity to shoot them.

Another strategy for locating a Fafarello, in both Campaign and Raid Mode, players can watch for shifts in the snow to track the creature's movement. Also, they can use their weapons' laser sight to pin-point their location, shooting them once the laser lands on a solid form.

Gunfire from a machine gun works best at keeping Farfarellos, as well as normal Hunters, at bay.

Injury from pulse grenade detonations can temporarily render them partially visible.
