KQ8: menagerie


The Swamp

The Swamp is an area not far from Daventry. With all the road and exits from Connor's village blocked off, Connor must find his way here through the Dimension of Death. With the cataclysm came poisonous pools of water, slime, and other dangerous creatures.


Scavenger Slime

The slime is a creature that can be found only in the swamp. It spits a poisonous glob of sludge. Be careful with these guys, as they are fast and skittish. While the slime is not a hearty creature, they are relentless in their attack, constantly hitting and running.

Carnivorous Plant

The carnivorous plant is indigenous only to the swamp. They can hide under the water and pop up with a powerful bite. Fortunately, these plants are just that, plants. They are rooted where they are and can't move. Ranged weapons prove ineffectual against them, as they seem to quickly duck under water.
Mandragor Tree

The manadragor tree is a most powerful opponent. Its strong roots block Connor's path to the heart of the beast. While chopping away at a root may open a path for attack, the creature can spawn a new root quickly. Take advantage when a root dies to move in and attack at the trunk. Ranged weapons are completely useless against these creatures.

The Bubble Monster

It is unknown excatly what these creatures are. They live under the water in the swamp and seem to be some kind of tentacled creature. They strike with little warning, often dragging their victim under the murky waters. Watch and listen carefully for bubbles.
Swamp Fiend

The swamp fiend appears to be genetically related to the spriggan. They are fairly slow and dumb creatures, but pack a terrible blow with their clubs of wood. Watch out for these guys, as they often run in packs.

Swamp Witch

Watch your back as you venture through the swamp! The swamp witch frequently ventures out of her enchanted tower to swim beneath the waters of the swamp, hoping to sneak up on the unwary adventurer. When you're not expecting it, she will rise from the ooze to cast her deadly fireballs, then sink back beneath the black water.
The witch's tower is surrounded by a lake of poisonous water, making access to it particularly difficult! Not only will Connor have to find a way across this deadly lake, but he must also kill the witch before he can enter the tower. Getting through the witch's barrage of fireballs is no easy task, but Connor's up to it!
