Tips & Tricks

  • If you intend to charge in and smash them in melee, use rC+ and conservation (or at least drop your potions first) in preparation for the inevitable ice attacks. Having some poison resistance will negate Mephitic Cloud, and clarity or high magic resistance will make it much less likely for you to wind up confused.
  • Statues are stationary and don't regenerate, so you can hit them with Sticky Flame, blink away, and repeat the process when they stop burning. Alternatively, ranged attackers can simply shoot them to death from the edge of your line of sight in perfect safety.
