Tips & Tricks

  • Use a source of clarity and try to kill them as quickly as possible to avoid a summoning spree. They aren't too durable, so a few high-powered Conjurations should take them out, but melee fighters may wish to lure them around a corner to avoid a dangerous charge into melee range.
  • Airstrike works well, taking advantage of their low AC and flight. Bolt spells or other attacks that let you hit them even when they're hiding behind allies are also handy.
  • No matter how frightening their summoned allies are, remember that killing the summoner will eliminate all its summons. This may be a safer, faster escape route than fleeing on foot or trying to teleport away.

History

In 0.19, this monster was renamed into glowing orange brain.

Prior to 0.14, giant orange brains knew Confuse in place of Mass Confusion.
