Useful Info
Caustic shrikes are devastatingly powerful flying pack hunters that swarm their victims and tear them apart with brutal corrosive attacks. They can be found in the Depths.
Tips & Tricks
- Shrikes are justification for carrying an amulet of resist corrosion around while exploring the mid-game. They can prove devastating if you allow several of them to attack you at once; use narrow hallways (of your own making if need be) to prevent this, especially if you lack resistance.
- For those who worship Okawaru, he tends to remain particularly honored by kills of caustic shrikes (even well after you've achieved a fairly routine ability to dispatch them), awarding the maximum amount of piety that he is willing to give for a kill. Keep that in mind if you need a boost to take out one or more - if you invoke heroism and/or finesse, odds are you'll recover much of the piety you spent upon your victory.
