@SpooDitt Iron Key, Dummythicc Key and 1 mask. Havn't tried with lower but consistant with 1 mask.

When I was doing my NG+ Village of shadows run i managed to be able to survive the encounter by running out of the first house after killing about 4 to 6 of them into the house with the ladder to the underneath part and baracading myself in there. The only real way in was through the front door and the big guy had no way of coming up the smaller stairs so was just stuck outside. After a while a random lycan grabs you into the animation and throws you from inside of the house into the river.

It was tried a couple times but it seemed pretty reliable and can be setup pretty fast from the start of the encounter.

to note though the NG+ did allow me to have infinite ammo which obviously helped but I'm going to try looking at it again in a casual new run and seeing If i can somehow cheese that one door.
