Plagued Maniacal Feaster

Plagued Maniacal Feaster is a melee creature in Dungeon Siege II and Broken World.

Back to the bestiary

Template name: feaster_boss_stats

The origin and nature of the great plague are mysteries, but it spreads as a harbinger of Valdis' armies. It is the vilest weapon in their arsenal, mercilessly twisting its victims into monsters that are mad with bloodlust.

The chance is for one kill of this creature (level 38 / 62 / 83 in Mercenary / Veteran / Elite) with magic find at 0: the chance that its drop table rolls an item of this kind, times this item’s share of the items that can come out at that level. Items with the same name are added up. Creatures of the same kind that the Bestiary lists under other names share the same drop table at their own level. Computed from the game’s drop tables, not measured. A source rolls the entries of its drop table; an entry asks the game’s item table for one item of the right class inside a level window; every matching item is equally likely (the game picks a random row, there is no rarity weight). Chance is per kill or per opening, with magic find at 0.

Where it is found

Random boss spots (one boss of the pool is picked per spot):

  • The Upper Mines of Kaderak: 1 of 2 possible bosses

Confidence: Medium From the game’s map files. How many random encounters you meet is a roll the data does not fix.

Does it count for the Bestiary?

Random boss only

Only as one of several possible bosses at a random boss spot.

Base game book
No. 337
Kills needed
1 kill

Only as one of several possible bosses; reroll the area to see another one.

Confidence: High the audit of the data files, confirmed by the in-game kill test

In-game kill test: unlocked after 1 kills (agrees with the data audit)

Natural spawn census: seen in 0 of 10 runs. A lower bound; a run only loads the areas near the party.

Bestiary fix package (in testing, not released): an optional switch, off by default, swaps a boss you have already killed for one you have not; tested on three regions.

Confidence: Medium Tested on a private copy of the game.

Kill counts are kept separately for Mercenary, Veteran and Elite. See how the Bestiary works.
