Sacred 2:Shrunken Head

A Dryad may use Combat Arts and Buffs to increase the chance that some slain opponents will drop a shrunken head that can be equipped by the Dryad (only one at a time) She may also use the Combat Art (Buff) Moribund Animus to raise a Hireling to fight in battle with her.

The many types of shrunken heads can be classed according to these three characteristics:

• Combat Modifier - The general type of modifier that benefits particular traits of a character.
• Color - Color of the head which, in conjunction with the enemy type of the head, indicates the unique hireling it summons.
• Enemy Type - The type of enemy that will drop the head

Combat Modifier

Combat Modifiers for shrunken heads come in three types:

• Defense
• Spell Resistance
• Cabalistic Voodoo Aspect

The three different types of base combat modifiers found upon heads give the following different benefits each per head to characters.

Defense - This affects a monster's Chance to Hit versus the character.

Spell Resistance - This affects a monster's chance to successfully cast a spell at full strength upon the character.

Cabalistic Voodoo Aspect - This can increase either the Cabalistic Voodoo Lore or Cabalistic Voodoo Focus levels.

Color

The color of the Shrunken head dropped will match the color of the writing and indicates the strength of the hireling summoned. White heads are the easiest to have dropped from enemies but create the weakest hirelings. Blue is next in rarity, with Yellow only being found from unique bosses. In this way, a shrunken head of the same enemy type can come in three colors. Each color summons it's own unique hireling with the yellow head hirelings of that particular monster type being the strongest. In the example shown here of the three types of colored heads of the same monster enemy type, the yellow enemy summoned would be the minotaur, one of the strongest hirelings possible. Blue Heads may have an extra modifier on the head as bonus, with yellow heads having the largest number of modifiers with greatest values.
