The Dungeon's vast repositories of the dead and the unholy realms thereafter both require regular restocking and reorganisation, far beyond the coordination of the restless dead. These corpse-collecting constructs burrow through the earth and command divisions of zombified hands to assist them in stealing away carrion, and may also violently create new corpses for such purposes.

Useful Info

Undertakers are gigantic constructs of the underworld that can burrow through the earth and cast Borgnjor's Vile Clutch from range. They are found mainly as pairs in Tartarus, but can also sometimes be found at the bottom of the Crypt.

Spells

Slot1	Borgnjor's Vile Clutch	Magical flag, Long range flag

Tips & Tricks

• Undertakers have a dragging attack. Don't worry, they can't pull you into walls.
• BVC does much more damage than Grasping Roots, so don't expect it to do negligible damage over the course of a fight. It can also affect allies!
  • Unless you're insubstantial, running away from undertakers is difficult as they will constantly be pinning you in place and have no trouble traversing through the maze-like structure of Tartarus.
  • Undertakers won't use BVC if you're close to them, similar to how spark wasps only use Blinkbolt at range.

History

• Undertakers were added in 0.34.
