While you venture through the Shadow-Cursed Lands, you may stumble across a dead Raven in the middle of a path with no sign of what happened to it.
You can see by its appearance that it has been tainted or even cursed and interacting with it may not be the best thing to do.
If you tend to get a bit curious and check out the Raven, this will result in several Shadow-Cursed Ravens swarming to your location.
How To Trigger the Raven Ambush?
Once your party goes near the Raven, one of the members of your party will suggest keeping away from it since it is cursed.
If you continue to approach and attempt to check out the dead Raven’s inventory, this will cause multiple Shadow-Cursed Ravens to appear and attack the party. (12 in total)
Cursed Raven Location
The Cursed Raven may be found around the center of the Shadow-Cursed Lands right before you reach the Last Light Inn.
You will often come across the Cursed Raven after you have entered the Shadow-Cursed Lands and continue with your search for Moonrise Towers.
How To Survive the Raven Ambush?
While having 12 enemies attack you at the same time may sound like a difficult fight, keep in mind that the Shadow-Cursed Ravens have only 1 Hit Point.
This means that they will die instantly but attacking them with your Main Hand Attacks may not be the best option since once your turns are up, they will start attacking.
The best thing for you to do is to use attacks that have an area of effect, which will allow you to hit several of them at the same time. (This will instantly kill them)
Plan your attacks carefully and make use of any spells or even throwables that can take out a bunch of them and the rest will not be much of a problem.
Rewards For Defeating the Ravens
The Shadow-Cursed Ravens don’t drop anything but you do get 45 Experience for each one that you kill, giving you a total of 540 Experience in total.
If you investigate the Cursed Raven’s inventory, you will find a note that was written long ago and probably sent to ask for help.
Of course, the Raven never made it and remains forever dead in the Shadow-Cursed Lands, which probably means whoever wrote the note is gone too.
Verdict
The Shadow-Cursed Ravens Ambush is one of the many encounters and surprises that has caught many players off guard but is also a fun event to witness.
While the Raven or the Shadow-Cursed Ravens provide no loot, the large amount of Experience provided may be helpful for leveling up.
Making sure that you have throwables on some of your characters can be important depending on what situations you find yourself in, especially with these ravens.
