How do I deal with this Desert Terror in the north section of town?
  • 1 of 5: You don't.
  • 2 of 5: It's rigged so that you usually can't even hurt it, though it can certainly hurt you!
  • 3 of 5: Just stay out of its way and let the infinite supply of town guards keep it busy.
  • 4 of 5: Do check out the building it broke out of, though. It has two stat barrels in it.
  • 5 of 5: NOTE: If your characters are powerful enough to quickly kill the Desert Terror, you can manage it if you do it right away after entering the city, before it has a chance to kill any guards.
