Useful Info

Tzitzimimeh are one of the most versatile among fiends, posing a threat to characters whether they're living or undead. While negative energy resistance helps reduce the effects of most of their attacks, torment and Dispel Undead always sting.

Tips & Tricks

This is the only fiend against which being undead does is not a guaranteed upside - in fact, it is possibly more dangerous to be so, given that Dispel Undead deals as much damage as Iron Shot but bypasses AC, EV and any resistances. If you are undead, keep them at the edge of LOS or behind other monsters and pelt them from afar with ranged attacks. Fortunately, their multiplicity of spells makes them torment slightly less often than other fiends, and having rN+++ greatly reduces the threat they pose. Use a holy wrath weapon or high-powered non-elemental conjurations to dispatch them, for they have no specific vulnerabilities.
