*Shrikes are justification for carrying an [[amulet of resist corrosion]] around while exploring the mid-game. They can prove devastating if you allow several of them to attack you at once; use narrow hallways (of your [[wand of digging|own]] [[wand of disintegration|making]] if need be) to prevent this, especially if you lack resistance.

*For those who worship [[Okawaru]], he tends to remain particularly honored by kills of caustic shrikes (even well after you've achieved a fairly routine ability to dispatch them), awarding the maximum amount of piety that he is willing to give for a kill. Keep that in mind if you need a boost to take out one or more - if you invoke ''heroism'' and/or ''finesse'', odds are you'll recover much of the piety you spent upon your victory.

Useful Info

Caustic shrikes are devastatingly powerful flying pack hunters that swarm their victims and tear them apart with brutal corrosive attacks. They can be found in the Depths.

Tips & Tricks

  • Shrikes are justification for carrying an amulet of resist corrosion around while exploring the mid-game. They can prove devastating if you allow several of them to attack you at once; use narrow hallways (of your own making if need be) to prevent this, especially if you lack resistance.
  • For those who worship Okawaru, he tends to remain particularly honored by kills of caustic shrikes (even well after you've achieved a fairly routine ability to dispatch them), awarding the maximum amount of piety that he is willing to give for a kill. Keep that in mind if you need a boost to take out one or more - if you invoke heroism and/or finesse, odds are you'll recover much of the piety you spent upon your victory.
