Useful Info

Sojobo, Queen of Tengu is a unique tengu air elementalist who is always generated with a band of tengu reavers. She's fairly durable, and even hitting her can be a challenge as she has significant evasion and an innate Repel Missiles effect at all times. She carries a great sword (83%) or triple sword (17%); regardless of type, her blade has a high chance (66%) to carry the electrocution brand.

Tips & Tricks

  • Sojobo is a nasty opponent. Tengu reavers are nasty enemies. As such, taking on Sojobo and her band of reavers all at once is extremely reckless. Try to lure her allies away one by one, and only engage Sojobo when she's all alone. Swiftness and/or a potion of haste certainly help in getting away, as all tengu can fly slightly faster than the average character can run.
  • Sojobo can deal dangerous amounts of damage quickly to the unprepared. Electricity resistance is very strongly recommended, as getting hit by a Lightning Bolt multizap can easily bring you to the brink of death, and there's no sense in tacking an additional 20 or so electricity damage on top of her already significant melee attacks. Likewise, flying characters should probably stay earthbound for this fight, as her Airstrike hits extra hard against the airborne.
  • It doesn't matter how supernaturally nimble an opponent is if your attacks can't miss. Barring enchanted armour, Sojobo's got no elemental resistances, so the unavoidable spells of any magic school should work just fine. Her willpower is high enough to be a problem for Hexes, though.
  • Do not rely on stairs as a means of escape or for stair dancing; at any time, you can be forced off the stairs by her Wind Blast spell or by the swirling winds around an air elemental.
  • The usual anti-spellcaster tools like Silence, phial of floods, or antimagic-branded weapons work pretty well against her. But be careful, as Sojobo can deal a lot of damage with just her sword.
