Background

Broken Handz is a unique non-player character found in the ruins of Uzer, a desolate area east of the desert near the Kharidian Desert. Originally known as a merchant, he suffered a tragic accident that left him with broken hands, hence his peculiar name. His predicament has given him a rather cynical view of the world, leading him to take on a role as a bandit guarding the treasures buried within the Uzer ruins. Despite his disfigured appendages, he possesses a dangerous proficiency in ranged attacks, utilizing a bow crafted from the wood of the twisted trees found in the surrounding area.

Abilities

Broken Handz employs a combination of ranged and magic attacks to fend off players trespassing in his territory. His signature attack involves shooting a barrage of arrows infused with dark energy, which deal both piercing damage and inflict a poison effect that drains players’ hitpoints over time.

As a clever foe, he also casts shadow spells that can reduce players’ accuracy and temporarily blind them, making it harder to retaliate effectively. Players should prepare their defenses accordingly, utilizing potions and protective spells before engaging him.

Drops

Upon defeat, Broken Handz has a chance to drop several valuable items:

  • Uzer‘s Bow: A powerful ranged weapon with a unique aesthetic, offering improved damage and an increased chance of inflicting poison on hit.
  • Broken Trinkets: A stackable item used for crafting and trading with other vendors for rare currency.
  • Shadow Essence: A rare crafting material used to create shadow-themed items or enhance existing gear.

Strategy

Players seeking to defeat Broken Handz should take caution and prepare for a challenging fight. It’s advisable to utilize long-range combat strategies, keeping a safe distance to minimize damage from his potent attacks. Bringing along healing items and antidotes to counteract poison effects can significantly improve the chances of survival during the encounter. Additionally, employing smite or defensive spells will help players negate his magical assaults while maximizing their own damage output.

Trivia

Despite his tough exterior and the aggressive persona that he projects, there are rumors that Broken Handz can be reasoned with. Enterprising adventurers who possess the right items might find an alternative means of engaging with him, leading to opportunities beyond mere combat – potential trades or even quests that reveal more about his tragic past and the secrets hidden within the Uzer ruins.
