A beautiful statue of an unknown creature, jet-black like a tear in reality. Its eyes glow with an otherworldly, malignant radiance.

Useful Info

Obsidian statues are stationary monsters that attack by summoning 3, 4 and 5 demons when you enter their LOS. They are highly resistant to most forms of attack, but can be quickly dispatched through use of the spells Shatter or Lee's Rapid Deconstruction. Their ability to summon demons is unaffected by silence. Fortunately, they are very rare, appearing only to guard the occasional treasure vault.

Tips & Tricks

Although obsidian statues are very resistant to elemental magic, powerful Earth Magic spells can take them out quickly. Iron Shot and Lee's Rapid Deconstruction are especially effective.

History

Prior to 0.19, obsidian statues could not cast Mesmerise, nor could they See Invisible.
Obsidian statues were added in 0.16, replacing silver statues.

 ==Useful Info==
-'''Silver statues''' are stationary monsters that attack by summoning [[Tier-2 demon|tier 2]], [[Tier-3 demon|3]], [[Tier-4 demon|4]] and [[Tier-5 demon|5]] [[demon]]s when you enter their [[LOS]]. They are highly resistant to most forms of attack, but can be instantly and reliably dispatched with a single zap of a [[wand of disintegration]], the spell [[Shatter]], or [[Lee's Rapid Deconstruction]]. Their ability to summon demons is not a spell, but rather a special effect for each turn the statue can see you: 33% chance of nothing, 33% chance of a 5, 33% chance of 2, 3, or 4. [[Silence]] has no impact on this ability.

-*They do not [[see invisible]], and so will not summon if you are invisible.

-*An [[amulet of warding]] can help with the hordes of summoned demons, but be aware it has no effect on demons' spellcasting. Beware [[neqoxec]]s, [[tormentor]]s, and [[hellion]]s in particular.
