Notes
- Bladed Aatxes have approximately 1150 health and have a natural permanent 3 pip health regeneration.
- The best way to fight them is to impair their damage dealing capacity by blinding, weakening, or crippling them and attacking from a distance.
- Protection Prayers like Protective Spirit are also very effective.
- Competent tanking is essential to prevent them from reaching the squishy players.
- Their true danger comes not from their damage, but from their ability to catch inexperienced parties off-guard. From their location, they almost act as "buffers" to prevent groups without patience and planning from remaining in the Underworld longer than a few moments.
- Many Underworld trapping groups find Aatxes to be the easiest monster in the Underworld to trap, as they are melee range only and will follow a pull long distances.
Trivia
- The name (pronounced ah-che) comes from Basque Mythology. An Aatxe is a spirit in the form of a bull that haunts caves.
