'''Bai Suzhen, Madame White Snake''' is a [[unique]] mid- to late-game draconian wayfarer of incredible strength and toughness who always spawns with a [[quarterstaff]]. While she's no [[Tiamat]], she does have more [[HP]] and [[AC]] than most [[list of draconians|draconians]] and hits slightly harder in melee, too. She usually summons two or three [[hydra]]s to her side, and as she is whittled down to half her health, she'll reveal her true form....

A weary draconian with foreign and watery scales. She has come to the Dungeon in hopes of resurrecting her mortal husband; a noble cause, for a being once known for quarreling with saints and flooding unfortunate temples. If pressed to her limits, she will reveal her true form, the mere sight of which struck her husband dead. Adventurers may wish they were so lucky!

Tips & Tricks

  • Make sure you have a source of electricity resistance; a potion of resistance will work if you have no other options. If you don't have any source of rElec at all, either fight her at long range once she transforms or just avoid her entirely.
  • While Bai Suzhen is still in her base draconian form, do your best to fight her in a corridor or other chokepoint. You don't need two or three hydras chewing on you while you're trying to fight her.
    • Once she transforms, she gains the ability to knock you back, potentially out of your chokepoint. Fortunately, any summoned hydras that are still around are going to be reluctant to enter her ring of storm clouds, but they could cause issues if they can find a way around to you before timing out.
  • Kiting Bai Suzhen in her dragon form is made more difficult by her Primal Wave, which not only deals decent damage, but also creates pools of shallow water beneath you. If you can't move easily through water, start flying so you aren't slowed down. Keep in mind that any summoned hydras that are still around move faster in water.
