Useful Info

Mummy priests are the animated remains of powerful practitioners of Necromancy. Although they can summon demonic or undead reinforcements, their biggest strength lies in their ability to smite or torment you at will. Their death curses are also some of the worse ones you will encounter. Fortunately, they are slow and easily run from if you turn around as soon as you see them. Mummy priests are found in the Tomb or near its entrance, in the Vestibule of Hell guarding the entrance to Tartarus, and on Tomb-themed Ziggurat floors.

Tips & Tricks

Mummy priests are extremely dangerous opponents, tormenting and smiting you from a safe distance while their summons and mummy allies slow you down. Don't let them live any longer than you have to.
Catching them with Silence will shut down all of their spells, making them much more manageable.
Javelins are useful for killing mummy priests when they hide behind their summons.

History

Prior to 0.28, mummy priests could see invisible.

 ==Useful Info==
-'''Mummy priests''' are the animated remains of powerful [[Necromancy]]-practitioners. Although they can summon demonic or undead reinforcements, their biggest strength lies in their ability to [[smite]] or [[torment]] you at will. Their [[mummy (monster)|mummy]] [[death curse]]s are some of the worst you will encounter. Fortunately, they are slow and easily run from if you turn around as soon as you see them. Mummy priests are only found in [[the Tomb]] or near its entrance.

 ==Tips & Tricks==
 *Mummy priests are extremely dangerous opponents, tormenting and smiting you from a safe distance while their summons and mummy allies slow you down. Don't let them live any longer than you have to.
 *Catching them with [[Silence]] will shut down all of their spells, making them much more manageable.
-*Avoiding their death curse is advisable. It can savage your stats, deal tremendous amounts of negative energy or torment damage, or summon powerful demons against you. The [[Haunt]] spell, [[Tukima's Dance]] on [[holy wrath]] weapons, or any powerful [[Summonings]] spell is recommended.
+*[[Javelin]]s are useful for killing mummy priests when they hide behind their summons.
-*If you do end up killing them yourself, a [[ring of sustain abilities]] or two and being [[undead]] through [[Necromutation]] or just by nature will take much of the sting out of their death curse. [[Abjuration]] is also useful for getting rid of any demonic reinforcements.
