Behavior

The Possessed Oryx Statue is spawned by the Spirit of Oryx. It wanders in place, firing spreads of slowing projectiles at the nearest player. It also frequently throws Earth Smashes, small rocks that land before promptly detonating in a huge explosion of shots, as well as blasting a plus-sign shaped area of the ground into temporary poison. These are thrown at players over deceptively long range, so be aware of them.

The Statue will ocassionally throw a segmented grappling hook at the nearest player. If the head connects, the player is Paralyzed for 1.5s and the Statue will pull itself to the target before unleashing a wave of black shots that Stun and Quiet. Usually, it will also fire an Earth Smash at the target, causing enormous damage or death. If players touch the chain of the grappling hook, they are Slowed for 1.5s instead. If it hits nothing, the Statue will just pull itself to that location.

Tips and Strategies

While the statue itself is fairly harmless, it’s the Earth Smashes it throws that are deadly. They deal potential instakills to anything standing on them and turn chunks of the ground into damaging poison. It is imperative to watch where they are thrown, as they are spawned frequently and over a very long range.

There is a small delay between the Statue creating the grappling hook and throwing it: use this to dodge it. If you get hit, it is better to Nexus before the Statue shoves an Earth Smash down your throat to instantly kill you.
