Useful Info
Naga ritualists are spellcasters who try to stack poison on their foes. Travelling with a pack of black mambas, anacondas, and mana vipers, they are always armed with weapons of venom, regularly blast you with Olgreb's Toxic Radiance, and can rapidly magnify your poison level even further while stripping you of your poison resistance through Virulence.

Tips & Tricks
- The beds of snakes naga ritualists travel with would normally not be too threatening, but that can change quickly if you wind up with your poison resistance removed. Take advantage of the fact that a ritualist's snakes move much faster than it does and separate them to make the fight much easier.
- High willpower will allow you to shrug off Virulence easily enough, but this isn't a necessity unless you're fighting several foes at once. A lone ritualist shouldn't put up too much of a fight, though you may need to rest after the battle until the toxins leave your system.
- Remember that a single potion of curing will remove all poison from your system, no matter how massive the dose.
