Useful Info
Lurking horrors are orbs of potent negative energy which are simultaneously attracted to and repulsed by you. If you come across one at the edge of your line of sight it will usually stop moving until you can no longer see it, at which point it will track you like a wandering mushroom. The closer you get to it, however, the more likely it is to start chasing you, seeking to kamikaze blast you like a giant spore. Should it crash into something or take any sort of damage, it will immediately burst, tormenting everything it can see and draining everything within a medium-sized burst radius. They can be found in the Abyss.
Tips & Tricks
- Characters with torment resistance can simply ignore them. Anyone else can attempt to leave them behind, as the shifting nature of the Abyss may cut off their ability to pursue you. However, if you have to turn around due to a dead end or a dangerous opponent you wish to flee, you'll almost certainly have to deal with the thing.
- If you can damage it beyond your line of sight, you can kill it safely. Any Cloud spell can accomplish this if cast around a blind corner, as can Fireball.
History
