Western Merchant is a miniboss and a "pet" Spirit.
Acquisition
Found two locations up from the "Collapsed Shack" Respite. One needs to enter the building with light coming out of doorway on the first location to access it.
Battle
In battle, Western Merchant fires projectiles like other crow enemies. In addition, he will at times approach Lily and attempt an attack with his claws. This attack also releases three damaging feathers, one downwards, and two diagonally to the sides. These feathers appear slightly below him, so they may not appear at all if the attack is performed near the ground.
On NG+, all his projectiles home on Lily.
Spirit
Unlike other spirits with limited uses, calling for Western Merchant will not expend a use; he will appear near Lily and will follow her around, firing projectiles at enemies within range. Each time he fires, one use is expended. Using the Spirit again dismisses him, without cost as well.
At the first level, one projectile is fired, with a damage scale of 45%.
Two additional projectiles will be added beginning at the third level. They are fired to the sides of the main one. All three projectiles will focus on enemies, but given their initial spread, they are unlikely to hit same target, or any at all if the latter is too close. The main projectile deals 21.5% damage, the top one 20%, and the lower one 17.5%.
At the fifth level, two more projectiles are added for a total of five. They deal damage at 17.5%, 21%, 18.5%, 16%, and 20%, respectively, from top to bottom.
