Heh, it's a really neat monster. It should have a retarded high MR considering it will most definitely bite the hand that feeds it.

If you wouldn't prophetized him - there was a sure and simple way to stop him: resummon Eater of the Dead. Then Scary One dies and you get a brand new Eater, weak and unfeded. But prophetized Eater plays strange things with game mechanic.

2. After reading the description, I stupidly think how cool it would be to give it artifacts and cast Gift of Reason on it.
3. I VERY stupidly give it Nethgul the Starspawn and the Ark of the Covenant
4. I empower with level 3 astral magic to let it teleport.
5. I teleport it to a corpsey battlefield and let it eat
6. I watch as it digivolves into a giant monster and make it my prophet...
7. I then watch as it goes mad with power and obliterates a 125 point mage and blessing heavy militia and a fortress.


So, I was wondering, if I hadn't given it all those artifacts anyway, how do you defeat the vanilla Eater of the Dead?
Cuz it appears to be decimating everyone on the maps' armies.
iirc, eater of the dead is a unique for c'tis, right?
a way to kill him may then be a gazilion of poison-slinger, as their attack is aoe, thus , even if blinded, they should empoison the whole battlefield.
or the eater is poison immune?

No, he's unique, but availible to all, hard to summon as he requres strong mage in astral and death. He's undead, so he's immune to poison. If he's well fed he could have about 5k-7k HP and 1000 HP regen per turn, MR 27 and thus almost impossible to kill.

If he's empowered in astral, maybe you should try to magic duel him?

What do you mean by a 125-point army of mages?

I think he means 125 points of PD to be honest. He referred to extremely high PD a couple of times in this thread.
