This is a stub so please feel free to help out and update this page.

The idea behind this is page is to have a guide to playing Nether. Information on various monsters, areas, drops, loot, etcetera will be found here.

NETHER == ''' ===

Crawlers
Information: The most commonly found Nether in-game. These small doglike creatures are known for their grunts and barks which makes it easy to hear them coming. They often are found alone but can hunt in packs when hearing a Shrieker's scream. Easy to kill with only a few melee strikes, they offer a good starting experience for low level players. They can and will overwhelm you if you're not careful though.

Behavior: Often Crawlers teleport right behind your back, so keep a close eye whenever getting into contact with them. Blocking is something every player should do since when they teleport, they have a certain invincibility to them. When a Crawler spots you, it will either leap or teleport towards you and strike out. Simply taking a step backwards and slinging (or shooting) your weapon will deal with them.

Loot: Nether Skin, Nether Bones, Nether Blood

Shriekers:
Information: Shriekers are Nether with the best hearing and, in my honest opinion, one of the most dangerous ones around. Though they have low health and are thus easy to kill, their ability to shriek (scream) attracts a lot of other Nether's (ranging from Crawlers to Hunters, Golems and even other Shriekers). Their second ability is a venomous spit which blinds the player and hurts him 50HP.

When a Shriekers screams and it attracts other Shriekers, this is called a Shrieker chain. The best thing a player can do then (if he has enough stamina) is to run. Otherwise, eliminate the Shriekers as fast as possible and look for defensive ground. Unless stopped, more and more Nether will appear and you will be overrun. This is true for both solo players as groups.

Behavior: Shriekers are always searching (and hearing) for players. When they see/hear you, they will call out for help from other Nether. They teleport in front of the player and/or run towards him and spit venom which blinds you. When attacked, they often run away with high speed, only to stop and scream.

Loot: Nether Skin, Nether Bones, Nether Blood, Bone Slugs, Shrieker's Tongue

Hunters:
Information: Hunters often travel and hunt in packs of two, making them even more dangerous than they already are. A hunter is known to follow it's prey (the player) throughout the city, harassing and attacking them at any unexpected moment. They, like the Shrieker, spit venom, though it doesn't blind your view. Their venom is more powerful than that of the Shrieker.

Behavior: More research needed.

Loot: Nether Skin, Nether Bones, Nether Blood, Hunter's Ribs

The Lost:
Information: Mostly seen near the Riverside Outpost (can someone verify if they are commonly seen anywhere else?), these Nether are slow, walking tumors, that explode when you attack them. They are the easiest Nethers to kill.

Behavior: Not much can be said about their behavior. The Lost are slow, unaware and dumb. Once they see you, they will reach out to attack. Cut them and they will explode, causing a great deal of damage.

Loot: Nether Skin, Nether Bones, Nether Blood, Lost Tumor

Watchers:
Information: Often spawns near / in unsecure safezones. Their red light beam is easy to spot. Enormous view range.

Behavior: Taking position on top of rooftops and buildings, Watchers spy for those who lurk below them in the streets. With a gaze that can see almost everything, these creatures are forever vigilant.

Loot: Watchers Eye

Golems:
Information: These heavy brutes are slow walking tanks according to the legacy. They deal a massive punch, even surpassing the Reaper in terms of damage. However, unlike the Reaper, they are fairly easy to take out as long as you have any ranged weapons. Though it takes a full clip of 9mm or a few well placed shotgun shots, it's better to spend ammo and stay alive than to engage in melee with these creatures. They don't teleport fast either so a well placed grenade could do the trick too.

Behavior: Golems are known to patrol street corners, crossroads and bridges. They are often attracted to the Shrieker's call though, so beware.

Loot: Golem Skull, Nether Blood, ???

Reapers:
Information: Reapers spawn from time to time in specific locations and are marked on the map, with the information how many HP he already lost.

Behavior: Spawns different Nether in his surrounding and attacks you with ram attacks (~300 dmg).

Loot: Reaper Blades
