Useful Info

Hell sentinels are massive demonic constructs, immune to all elemental damage except for holy and boasting very high AC. On top of that, they are covered in spines that deal 19d4 physical damage to you each time you attack. Although they lack the ability to torment you, they can still deal heavy damage in melee or at range. They can be found in Pandemonium and the Hells, particularly the Iron City of Dis.

Spells: Hellfire (3d20), Iron Shot (3d33), Melee

Tips & Tricks

• Fast characters can avoid their passive counter-attack by kiting them with ranged attacks. If you have Repel Missiles/Deflect Missiles, this renders them almost safe.
• They only have 3 EV. Bolt of Inaccuracy is very effective against them.

History

Hell sentinels were added in 0.11, replacing pit fiends as the iron-themed tier-1 demon.
