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. Their cautious behavior will stop them from blindly charging into melee range with you, meaning you'll need to close the distance yourself.
- Airstrike works well, taking advantage of their low AC. Penetrating projectiles that can hit behind their wall of allies are also handy.
- No matter how frightening their summoned allies are, remember that killing the summoner will eliminate all its summons. This may be a safer, faster escape route than fleeing on foot or trying to teleport away.
- Because the glowing orange brain can summon creatures, it has access to the abjuration spell.
- Being a worshipper of Jiyva will turn these creatures neutral.
