Useful Info

Guardian mummies behave much like regular mummies, shuffling into melee with you and attacking as best they can. Unlike standard mummies they can hit hard, move nearly as fast as the average character, have no particular weakness to fire damage, and pack a much more exciting death curse. They are found in or guarding the Tomb, as well as in certain undead vaults and extremely rarely in Ossuaries.

Tips & Tricks

• Avoiding their death curse is advisable. It can savage your stats, deal tremendous amounts of negative energy or torment damage, or summon powerful demons against you. The Haunt spell, Tukima's Dance on holy wrath weapons, or any powerful Summonings spell is recommended.
• If you do end up killing them yourself, a ring of sustain abilities or two and being undead through Necromutation or just by nature will take much of the sting out of their death curse. Abjuration is also useful for getting rid of any demonic reinforcements.
