Ultima IX: Ascension Hints
How can I kill this flying scorpion-like creature?
1 of 4: Some call this thing a Slasher Demon, Snuffler, or even a Wisp, although I do not know the official name. It has wings and a scorpion-like tail that strikes rapidly causing major damage. It floats above ground in a bubble of energy.
2 of 4: To cause it damage, burst that bubble!
3 of 4: A shot from Iolo's Bow will break the energy bubble, but so will a triple-shot of fire arrows (if you have oil flasks with you).
4 of 4: The monster is fairly difficult to reach, so any weapon you choose must have a long range -- such as a Lightning Sword -- or arrows. Also try magical spells that are fire based such as Fireball or Meteorite, since the creature seems to be a water or ice monster.
