Tips & Tricks

  • They'll constantly shoot at you as long as you are in their LOS, so crush them quickly. They are quite fragile, at least, so killing them isn't difficult.
  • As with any monster with ranged attacks, ducking around a corner and waiting for them to come to you will reduce the amount of damage you take.

History

  • Prior to 0.25, dart slugs could cling to walls.
  • Dart slugs came into life in version 0.18.
