-Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland


Useful Info

Ravens are fast, flying pests that deal little damage but eat any corpses they come across as they swoop in to attack you. 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 rare random spawns in the Elven Halls, as an accompaniment to various tengu, or in defense of a shambling mangrove.

Tips & Tricks

  • None needed, they're mostly harmless. Focus on their deadlier allies.
