Useful Info

Emperor scorpions are extremely dangerous arachnids, capable of inflicting serious injuries and packing a dangerous poison sting. They can handle much more abuse than the average bug, and their poison resistance makes some common strategies for dealing with arthropods ineffective. Although dangerous individually, they are extremely serious threats when encountered in packs. Thankfully they're not very common, only appearing in significant numbers in the Spider's Nest.

Tips & Tricks

  • Ignite Poison deals heavy, unavoidable damage, and is one of the best ways of dealing with large groups of emperor scorpions, though any high-level attack spell that hits multiple targets should work if you have enough MP. Just stay out of melee.

History

Prior to 0.11, emperor scorpions were weaker and vulnerable to poison.
