Template name: knotted_shambler_stats
Vai'kesh experiments with the dark magics of the Aegis formed many new and horrible creatures. Their greatest crime, though, was stealing the very life essence of the Vai'lutra Forest itself to create one creature more powerful than the rest: the Knotted Shambler.

Base Dungeon Siege II
Level and strength
| Mercenary | Veteran | Elite | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level | 26 | 52 | 75 |
| Life | 25,000 | 125,000 | 250,000 |
| Damage | 1 to 1 | 1 to 1 | 1 to 1 |
| Defense | 92 | 196 | 305 |
| Experience | 6 | 6 | 6 |
These are the base game’s numbers. Broken World changes them: see its version below.
Confidence: Medium Worked out from the formulas in the creature’s template, for the levels the template gives. Not compared with the game’s own Bestiary screen; spawn spots may change a monster’s level.
Weaknesses and resistances
| Mercenary | Veteran | Elite | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fire | -25% | -10% | 0% |
Confidence: Medium As written in the template. A negative number means it takes more damage of that kind. Values of 100% and more are shown as given; the effect of going past 100% has not been tested.
Where it is found
| Place | Placed | Spawned | Random encounters |
|---|---|---|---|
| A Vai'kesh Grotto | 1 |
A story scene or conversation gives credit without a fight.
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?
Can be completed
Enough of them exist, or a scene or conversation gives the credit.
- Base game book
- No. 219
- Kills needed
- 1 kill
1 placed, 1 needed.
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 1 of 10 runs, most in one region: 1. A lower bound; a run only loads the areas near the party.
Kill counts are kept separately for Mercenary, Veteran and Elite. See how the Bestiary works.
