Haunted by zombies!
« on: November 02, 2012, 02:06:09 am »

Hey!

While roaming the wilds I am continuously finding the zombies of past adversaries just... standing there...
At first I thought it was a glitch, but it keeps happening... are these zombies 'haunting' me? how have they become undead?

Evil biome? Nearby necromancers? First of all, are you undead yourself? (Necro/vamp/husk)

It was in a regular biome, I am a necromancer, although I did not raise any of these bodies from the dead. there are no more necromancers in the world as I had already 'disposed' of them.

Although after a few hours playing with legends viewer, I found it said "xxx's body has been misused" or something like that. how is this possible? I killed all the necromancers in the realm and I dont know of any other beings that can raise the corpses of others.  ???

 Have you visited a tomb ever? Are there any mummies alive? If so, the mummies have broken out and ravaging the land.
Dont try to attack it, it will OBLITORATE you with its curse.

Strange, there are no tombs in the realm according to Legends viewer...
If a famous player controlled character dies, will his/her following civ build them a tomb?
I mean even if there was a mummy, would I just just be able to totally destroy it with my *Adamantine short sword* ?  :P

Mummies won't attack you if you're a necromancer. If you see one, quickly cut it's head off.

I've met yet another random corpse, this time its a 'peasants corpse' I just realised now that I am meeting all these zombies at monsters lairs, this one I saw hanging around a roc's nest...  :-\
what are they doing here... Also I don't believe there are any Mummies in the realm... are they found only in tombs?

EDIT: The corpse now became a companion and is following me around?! this is extremely strange because I only resurrect the bodies of titans and other night creatures...

I know from experience that unattended zombies and mummies will scatter to random lairs across the map. If they had been your companions at one point then that would explain that, but it sounds like that's not the case.

Mummies may be found under towns as well.

And they are devestating to an ecosystem when released.

Alright, I go do some searching under the towns. Are they more common to be found under the temple rather in the dungeon? How will I know when I'm in the mummies tomb?
Also It may have been my companion once along time ago, for when I was training my wrestling, I probably just forgot him there.
Back onto the topic of corpses I did not raise ( :P) Here's what I mentioned earlier:

In 50, late summer, UNKNOWN HISTORICAL FIGURE'S body was abused by UNKNOWN ENTITY in Specialdank.

Huh. So they only appear at or around lairs?

Stray undead...?

Someone else was having issues with all the mummies they'd awoken playing around outside lairs, too. It could very well be related, but not exactly what you're experiencing.

They do. I found one once. It ended very badly for my party.

If you don't approach their coffin, and don't take any of their ☼stuff☼ (which is difficult, and that's what got me the first couple times I found a tomb) they won't come out to whip your arse.
