Tips & Tricks

  • Use a source of clarity and try to kill them as quickly as possible to avoid a summoning spree. They aren't too durable, so a few high-powered Conjurations should take them out, but melee fighters may wish to lure them around a corner to avoid a dangerous charge into melee range.
  • Freezing Cloud works well, allowing you to kill them without staying in their LOS any longer than necessary.
  • If you lack Mass Abjuration, be prepared to run if their summons start getting overwhelming.

History

In 0.14, giant orange brains will get Mass Confusion in place of Confuse.
