Useful Info

The neqoxec is a particularly dangerous tier-3 demon. Although it doesn't deal much damage directly, it will gladly malmutate you, drain your intelligence, or summon other demons to distract you from greater threats. They are found in the Abyss and Pandemonium (particularly in Mnoleg's domain), and can be summoned by other monsters with the Summon Demon spell.

Spells

Spell set I
Slot1 Malmutate Magical flag
Slot2 Brain Bite Magical flag

Tips & Tricks

  • Neqoxec requires a clear line of fire to mutate you, so keep other monsters or summoned allies in the way to block it.
  • Their intelligence-drain attack uses smite-targeting, but that's much less dangerous. A ring of sustain abilities can help here, though you may not need it if you kill them quickly enough.
  • Fortunately, they're fragile and have few resistances. Take them out first whenever possible.
