Useful Info

Ravens are fast, flying pests that deal relatively low damage. They are occasionally a welcome sight, as they sometimes spawn in a small vault that contains a few pieces of shiny jewellery they've collected, but they also appear as an accompaniment to various tengu or in defense of a shambling mangrove.

Tips & Tricks

  • Ravens are generally less dangerous than the monsters they accompany, but don't let that fool you into thinking they're harmless -- lightly armored characters in particular should watch out for them.
  • Try to limit how much of the flock can reach you at one time by retreating to a chokepoint. Area-of-effect spells like Fireball or the cloud spells can help take them down more swiftly.

History

Ravens were removed in 0.17.
