Loot[edit | edit source]

Strategy[edit | edit source]

The ability to summon Young Mephits each turn can allow multiple Ancient Mephits to build up a small army if left unchecked. Attacking them at close range is a dire prospect, as they can swiftly kite melee strikers with Fly Fly, and even if caught they damage and slow down attackers with Death Burst and mud patches.

Attacking at a distance with high-damage burst skills, like Scorching Ray Scorching Ray or Sneak Attack (Ranged) Sneak Attack (Ranged) before they can summon minions is a solid tactic. If you can manage it, clumping Mephits together can cause a Death Burst chain reaction if you are able to kill one and weaken the rest with an area-of-effect ability.

If you must kill them at close range, toggling on Non-Lethal Attacks will avoid triggering the mephit's on-death effects.
