These black, red-eyed, minotaur-like creatures are some of the harder-hitting melee fighters in the game. They are known to deal up to around 300 damage with a single hit to all low-armor classes.
The best way to fight them is to impair their damage dealing capacity by blinding, weakening, or crippling them and attacking from a distance. Alternatively, Protection spells can also be effective (e.g. Protective Spirit).
Many players find Aatxes to be one of the easiest monsters in the Underworld to trap: they are melee range foes that will follow pulls for long distances.
The Ecto drop rate for Aaxtxes is approximately 4%.
Trivia[]
The name (pronounced ah-che) comes from Basque mythology, where an Aatxe is a spirit in the form of a bull that haunts caves.
