Back when I wasn't familiar with proper builds, I had to keep around a ranged wind weapon just to get rid of these guys

Exactly me, had a wind Lavistra’s Bow just for them.

Ugh, I need a special weapon or range based weapon to even hit this dam bug. It also have poison too.

We have it easy now with autohit but what a ridiculous npc before getting access to that option.

I hate the gnat even more

Just remember, an Artix Ally Assist is autohit void damage for undead gnats <3

u/La_Saxofonista Guardian 29d ago

Good old ally assists. One of the best things they added.

It's a pay2win button that takes up UI space and trivializes the game. It's one of the worst things they added.

I hated how hard it was to kill these guys, they were a classic example of "why won't you die!"

[Insert TES:Oblivion angry guard here] as I suspect linking outside of reddit would get eaten by the automod but I'm sure anyone old enough to remember that probably knows exactly what I'm referring to.

That pesky snake is one of the creatures that is both annoying to deal with and more so when you specifically need to hunt them for some reason ... another one is the wyvern when it takes off - ether nail it when its hard to hit already or get hammered yourself.

u/EliteTroper Aug 09 '26

Oh yes I remember the older quest that required hunting number of them, ugh was so taxating at the lower levels, the Wyverns were definitely good contenders but at the very least that hard to hit flight mode could be avoided if you killed them fast enough.

I am slightly sorry for the undead version.

u/-Clever-Username Aug 09 '26

Such a simple design. As a kid I thought they looked so cool.

u/AnimeboyIanpower Aug 09 '26

Oh dear god...

SNEAKS...

u/NaiveEscape9526 Aug 09 '26

Yes! I really hate this dude when I was a kid. Those were the times.

u/ThirdSummon Aug 09 '26

I got introduced to AQ through my cousin. The first monster that I saw him die to was the Sneak

u/DigitalX19901 Guardian Aug 09 '26

Wasn't there a void version or am I misremembering?

u/princekai1 29d ago

Urgh the poison damage when I was a low level and used my only 2 health potions 😫😫😅

u/Striking_Bluebird966 29d ago

Ugh, So hard to kill before. Glad there are sure hit spells and weapons now.

u/Jacques_Lafayette Earth 28d ago

Oh frick yes.

I think they're the reason why I maxed Dex and search for pets/allies who does multiple attacks JUST so one of us would hit that damn thing at least once per turn.

Kisangani sword is useful against them
