How to get all minions / creatures in the Iratus: Lord of the Dead roguelike; description of all hidden abilities of each creature
The protagonist of Iratus: Lord of the Dead is the fallen lord Iratus, who wants to destroy the mortal world. At his (and, accordingly, your) disposal – various undead, which he summons, spending body parts collected in battles. There are a total of 19 different minions, but only six of them are available from the start of the game. To access 12, you will have to fulfill different conditions. And one more is available only to Supporter Pack owners. Below I talk about all the unique abilities of the minions and the conditions for their unlocking.
Who are minions?
Minions are various types of undead that make up the Iratus army. Each creature has its own unique combat abilities. But besides battles, they can be used for other purposes: for example, to unlock and improve various buildings in the graveyard.
New creatures are created through a special tab that can be opened by clicking on the cabinet in the far right corner of the Iratus room, or by pressing the P key. Each minion needs 4 body parts. You can chase minions to free up slots (of which there are not so many), but no one will return the parts spent on their creation or the items that were equipped on them.
Minions have several characteristics that determine their effectiveness: attack, fear, accuracy, dodge, luck, armor, resistance, block, guardianship, and initiative. Minions level up in several ways: winning battles, training in the arena (graveyard) while you fight other minions, interacting with steles on the map, or getting a higher level brain. You can pump the level of minions almost indefinitely.
Creatures can do two types of damage: toughness and stress. The first type combines both physical and magical damage. Also, each minion has 6 abilities, with one of them being the ultimate and activated by anger. Some characters, such as the Lich and the Fallen Dhampir, have two ults. Each ability can be activated depending on the position of the minion. After increasing the level, you can choose one of two improvements for each ability, as well as increase the characteristics. Improvements for the ultimate become available only after pumping a minion to level 5.
Each creature can be equipped with 2 pieces of equipment, which will give different benefits (note that you cannot use two identical items). Items are unique to different creatures.
