An ancient pharaoh, embalmed and cursed to undeath, now capable of great and terrifying feats of magic.

Useful Info

Spells

Spell set
Slot1 Summon Demon
Slot2 Smiting (7-17)
Slot3 none
Slot4 Symbol of Torment
Slot5 Summon Undead
Slot6 Summon Undead


Tips & Tricks

  • Greater mummies are extremely dangerous opponents, tormenting and smiting you from a safe distance while their summons and mummy allies slow you down. Don't let them live any longer than you have to.
  • Catching them with Silence will shut down all of their spells, making them much more manageable.
  • Avoiding their death curse is advisable. It can savage your stats, deal tremendous amounts of negative energy or torment damage, or summon powerful demons against you. The Haunt spell, Tukima's Dance on holy wrath weapons, or any powerful Summonings spell is recommended.
  • If you do end up killing them yourself, a ring of sustain abilities or two and being undead through Necromutation or just by nature will take much of the sting out of their death curse. Abjuration is also useful for getting rid of any demonic reinforcements.
