Useful Info

Obsidian statues are stationary monsters that attack by summoning 3, 4 and 5 demons when you enter their LOS. They are highly resistant to most forms of attack, but can be quickly dispatched through use of the spells Shatter or Lee's Rapid Deconstruction. Their ability to summon demons is unaffected by silence. Fortunately, they are very rare, appearing only to guard the occasional treasure vault.

Tips & Tricks

• An amulet of warding can help with the hordes of summoned demons, but be aware it has no effect on demons' spellcasting. Watch out for neqoxecs, smoke demons, and chaos spawn in particular.

History

• Prior to 0.19, obsidian statues could not cast Mesmerise, nor could they See Invisible.
• Obsidian statues were added in 0.16, replacing silver statues.
