How to beat Corpse Slug

  • Each kill buffs and stuns the survivors, which is both the danger and the trick.
  • In the three-slug fight the last one alive can reach 8 (10) Strength: Whip Slap becomes 11 (13) twice and Glomp 16 (19).
  • If you kill one slug per turn, the rest are stunned every turn and never attack.
  • Either kill all of them in one turn with area damage, or chain one kill per turn and ignore the Strength.
  • Goop's Frail makes blocking a fed slug harder, so kill order beats block here.

Notes

  • 25 to 27 HP (27 to 29 on Ascension 8+).
  • Many Corpse Slugs is a normal Underdocks fight with three slugs; Corpse Slugs is the weak version with two.
  • A slug that is already dead does not react to later deaths.
