👹Area Creatures

🐾 Area Creatures

The Crimson Rotten Mine is home to two primary enemy types: the Crimson Basilisk and the Crimson Rat. Each brings a unique threat to the table, and learning their behavior is key to surviving your first descent.

Crimson Basilisk

Fierce and territorial, Crimson Basilisks are the apex predators of the mine.

• Base HP: 60 ❤️ (+20 per additional player in combat – HP scales with party size)

• Abilities:

  • Leap Attack: A direct, lunging strike that deals moderate damage. Can stagger players on hit.

  • Smoke Attack: Releases a crimson toxic cloud that inflicts heavy instant damage.

    ⚠️ Warning: Standing in the smoke for more than 2 seconds is fatal. Stay mobile or use crowd control to prevent the Basilisk from casting.

These creatures are especially dangerous in tight spaces. Pull them carefully and watch for smoke zones.

Crimson Rat

Smaller but no less dangerous, Crimson Rats are fast, chaotic enemies designed to harass and disrupt.

• Base HP: 60 ❤️ (+20 per additional player in combat)

• Abilities:

  • Leap: A short-range jump that closes distance and can knock players off balance.

  • Bite Attack: Fast, repeated melee strikes that can interrupt your actions.

Though they don’t deal high damage alone, Crimson Rats are built to knock players into hazards, especially Basilisk smoke zones. Left unchecked, they can quickly turn a simple fight into a disaster.

🧠 Strategy Tips

• Focus Fire: Always eliminate Crimson Rats first in mixed groups to avoid knockbacks into smoke zones.

• Keep Moving: Against Basilisks, avoid standing still for more than a second — smoke can spawn suddenly.

• Solo Players: Be cautious when triggering large groups. Both creature types scale with player count, making crowd control and positioning vital.
