Useful Info

Centaur warriors fight using the same tactics as standard centaurs, but are an order of magnitude more dangerous. They have enough HP to last a few hits and can easily deal over 30 damage per turn when at range. They are usually accompanied by a herd of lesser centaurs, and can be found in the middle-to-late Dungeon and the Vaults.

Variant Centaur Warrior

You may encounter a centaur hunter in certain vaults. Apart from having a bit more durability than average, they are otherwise the same as their vanilla equivalents. Killing it will get you a nicely enchanted longbow and some magic arrows.

This particularly battle-adept centaur is an extremely precise shot with its longbow.

Tips & Tricks

• Repel Missiles and (preferably) Deflect Missiles are lifesavers for fragile characters here.
• They're gruesome at range, so lure them into melee to remove their biggest advantage. Confusing them first and/or taking advantage of corners makes this much less suicidal.
