Tips & Tricks

  • They might not hit very hard individually, but a full pack of raiju can pile tons of electricity damage on you very quickly. Don't hesitate about quaffing a potion of resistance if you find yourself surrounded with no other source of rElec.
  • The terrain of the Abyss changes constantly, as do the positions of the bolting raiju, making movement decisions somewhat arbitrary. If possible, however, stand in such a way that the raiju won't be getting multizaps on you.
  • Raiju are one of the few edible enemies in the Abyss.
