The Flesh has incredible damage and killing potential with its Stuns, Bleed and Blight. Cleaving the Flesh with damage over time effects is much more effective, since they bypass the PROT of the many parts.Īside from cleaving the Flesh with damage over time effects, hitting the Flesh with on-hit damage can also be effective, but unless the hero is able to hit every Rank for large amounts of damage or bypass PROT, this is a bit more RNG-dependent, as the Heart may not spawn in reach the hero's strongest attacks. Due to the PROT 3 of the 4 pieces have though, it's usually not very effective to use Cleaves that rely on on-hit damage. Since the Flesh shares one healthbar among all of its pieces, Cleaves are more effective against it. The Heart heals whichever part is located in rank 1.

All parts except the Heart have high PROT and will inflict different status effects. It is possible to have multiple copies of the same part. At the start of every turn, it will morph, randomly transforming parts. The Flesh has 4 different parts in every rank with a shared health bar. The warrens had become a landfill of snout and hoof, gristle and bone - a mountainous, twitching mass of misshapen flesh, fusing itself together in the darkness. The spasmodically squirming, braying, and snorting half-corpses were heaped each upon the other, until at last I was rid of them. When excavations beneath the manor broke through into an ancient network of aqueducts and tunnels, I knew I had found a solution to the problem of disposal.

I could not store such a prodigious amount of offal, nor could I rid myself of it easily, possessed as it was by unnameable things from outer spheres. Progress was halting, and the rapidly accumulating surplus of wasted flesh had become burdensome. My zeal for blood rituals and summoning rites had begun to ebb, as each attempt invariably brought only failure and disappointment.
