Useful info

Quicksilver oozes move fast and hit fast, with attacks that seem specifically geared towards disabling spellcasters. They are commonly found in the Slime Pits but are occasionally found in the late dungeon or depths.

Tips & Tricks

  • Watch out for their asphyxiation and antimagic melee; their high speed can make escape difficult and you may be repeatedly engulfed while your magic is sapped away.
  • Quicksilver oozes have decent evasion and are immune to Hexes, but have few other defenses to speak of and aren't very durable. Unavoidable damaging spells, wands, or evocables can take care of them easily enough.

History
