Tips & Tricks

  • If you run into a necromancer in an obvious doored-off vault, the back chamber will be filled with simulacra. Watch out for any that have multiple attacks (hydras for instance), especially if you lack cold resistance.
  • Don't underestimate the punch of their various Bolt spells.
  • Try not to create any high-level corpses around them; they can animate a dead unique just as easily as you.
