Abilities

Poison attack

Each time its melee attack hits, there's a 50% chance it also poisons the target with Lethal poison.

• Lethal poison deals 25% of your current hit points (at least 9, at most 26) every 5 seconds, for up to 10 ticks.
• Cure it with a cure potion, the Cure or Arch Cure spell, or a healer's bandages and the Healing skill. Higher levels are harder to cure.

Poison immunity: it is immune to all poison, so poisoned weapons, the Poison spell and poison potions do nothing to it.

Loot

Every ophidian knight carries:

• Gold: about 520–700 in total (from its "Rich" ×2 loot)
• a lesser poison potion

It may also carry:

• A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 6 chances, from about 20% down to 1% each)
• A musical instrument (about 2% or less)
• A level 3 treasure map (1% chance)

Carving

Use a blade on the corpse to get:

• 2 raw ribs

Location

• Champion spawn: it is a level 4 creature of the Cold Blood champion spawn (champion: Rikktor), so it appears at the fixed Cold Blood altar at 5259, 837, and any of the 11 Lost Lands altars that rolls Cold Blood. Each one killed during a spawn gives the killer Valor and champion-title progress.

Tips

• Carry Greater Cure potions; its hits can carry Lethal poison.
• Ophidians and terathans are sworn enemies and attack each other on sight, so you can sometimes let them fight it out.
• Two Rich loot packs and a 1% chance at a level 3 treasure map.
