Disguised dungeon grimoires on library bookshelves
Hidden among dusty book stacks inside the Dungeon, the Water Bolt Mimic masquerades as an ordinary blue tome. Featuring 60 health and 4 defense, it rests quietly on wooden shelves until a player draws near or strikes it. Upon activation, it awakens and floats into the air, dealing 20 contact damage in Classic, 40 in Expert, and 60 in Master mode.
Unmasking enchanted tomes for genuine spellbooks
This deceptive grimoire flies with erratic floating movements akin to floating skulls, chasing players through narrow dungeon corridors. Striking it with ranged weapons or broadswords quickly defeats its low health pool before it can inflict damage. Slaying this book mimic carries a 2.5% chance to yield an authentic Water Bolt magic spellbook.
Trivia
- The Water Bolt Mimic was added in recent updates to surprise players looking for early dungeon spellbooks.
- When stationary on a shelf, it looks nearly indistinguishable from a regular Water Bolt book.
