Useful Info
An apis is a rare yak-type monster. They are mostly restricted to holy Pandemonium levels and Ziggurat floors, though they can also be found in a holy-themed Shoals:4 vault. They behave like all yaks, moving into melee range and hitting surprisingly hard with their holy horns (especially dangerous to undead or demonspawn characters).
Tips & Tricks
- Think of them as death yaks but stronger, particularly if you're vulnerable to holy damage.
Trivia
The apis was a sacred bull worshiped in ancient Egypt.
History
- In 0.33, apis will get slightly less HP, but more damage (40 -> 44). Also, they'll get an aura that doubles the health of nearby allies.
- In 0.31, apis can now appear in a holy-themed Shoals:4 vault.
- Prior to 0.15, Elyvilon could punish the player for killing an apis by inflicting irresistible but temporary weakness. Also, hostile apis could turn neutral if the player worshipped a good god and was sufficiently pious.
- In 0.14, apis were supposed to appear in the Enchanted Forest.
- Prior to 0.13, killing an apis did not trigger Elyvilon's wrath.
