Eye of draining

Useful Info

Eyes of draining are floating organs which have no physical attacks. Instead, they attack the player by draining 10% of their current maximum health with each cast of their Draining Gaze, which can be extremely dangerous if left unchecked. Negative energy resistance can reduce this to 5%, 2%, and 0% with rN+, rN++ and rN+++ respectively. They can be found mainly in the Slime Pits, or very rarely in the Depths.

Tips & Tricks

• Bring equipment with negative energy resistance to the Slime Pits.
• If you lack rN, use scrolls of fog or walls to break line of sight.
• Undead species are completely immune to eyes of draining and can safely ignore them.

History

• Eyes of draining were re-added in 0.34.
• Eyes of draining were removed in 0.27. They acted slowly, and their Draining Gaze drained MP and healed themselves.
