So a friend of mine, Atoi lets me in for his newly developed tool which is able to extract various information on monsters and skill database from the game files. After a long discussion with him, I find there are some useful information which ought to be shared
Race: the named category in which various monster are classified as. NPC, Monsters, Mini, etc. In general, they can be crit and applied with a condition.
Gadgets: Tequatl, Jormag, Turrets, Seed Pots, etc. In general, they cannot be crit.
- Are players’ turrets Races or Gadgets? Atoi thinks they just turned the turrets into species with a Race. “However, given there are 45k+ species in the game, even if something has the same name/model like the cm and the engi turret, chances that its a completely different object is pretty high.”
A couple of random mobs which were thrown in the test:
Mossman: (race) Norn, not Sons of Svanir
Bloomhunger: (race) Plant, possibly not a Nightmare
Nightmare Vine (the wurms in TA): (race) Nightmare, not Wurm or Plant
There are seven species with Races in Snow Blind fractal; 6 of them are Sons of Svanir and the last one being Wolves. Elemental Source is a Gadget and Atoi couldn’t find the coded name of the “Swirler” to verify its species.
A comprehensive list of mobs and their Races in Ascalonian Catacomb. Interestingly, there are two Trolls, with one being Graveling and the other Troll http://privatepaste.com/4fff824530
Most monsters in Honor of the Waves are Icebrood, not Sons of Svanir :’(
Kudu’s Power Suit is Bandit ^^
That’s all for now. All this great information is of courtesy of Atoi. I’m working to bridge between him and Wethospu to complete the Slaying Potion project. More will come soon.
“Raids are like fortune cookies. You eat the cookie and then read the paper scraps.”
Unfortunately most of the stuff has already been tested. But it will be good to be able to verify everything, especially if we get stuff like Graveling slaying some day.
Most of the stuff is pretty irrelevant “whether all flame legion enemies are actually flame legion”, etc. Not really worth of checking unless you can generate full lists like with AC.

I thought they were ghosts for the potions/sigils?
I’d appreciate a full table with every enemy found inside HotW so we once and for all can confirm which bosses are icebrood and which ones are Sons of Svanir, since a lot of people claim certain bosses belong to the sons of svanir monster family when they use icebrood models and vice versa. I also know that there is at least one ogre type enemy inside the dungeon so I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the other monsters also belonged to certain monster type families.
Were things like 2 “The Butcher”s in HotW intended that 2 actually were found in the game files, or is that an error in that he just accidetally listed it twice? Same with 2 Mossman’s, 2 Rampaging Elemental(Dredge fractal). Probably a few others I didn’t notice.
Ah, it looks like the golems in the boss fight of the aether fractal are inquest, something I always wondered. Good to know! Thanks for this Iris (and atoi)
He’s named as The Mastermind in the scripted game files. His decriptions “Creates Mines . Causes Bleeding” match with the actual model in the game.
Note that some of the mobs don’t have the same name as shown in the game. Another example is the Legendary Imbued Shaman. However, all the bosses have descriptions under their names and we can match them to figure out which is which.
“Raids are like fortune cookies. You eat the cookie and then read the paper scraps.”
I might have missed it but Wollam the Plunderer seems to be missing from the HoTW sheet. Any chance he could be added please?
I believe Wollam is the NPC named ‘The Mastermind’ since it has the same description as Wollam does ingame (Places mines, inflicts bleeding)
The three other end bosses of the explorable and story modes are also all referred to as ‘The X’ so I wouldn’t be surprised if Mastermind was some kind of placeholder name for Wollam.
Aldus Stormbringer is however seemingly nowhere to be found on the list.
They are what were found in the game files. It seems Mossman has 2 IDs for some reasons.
Probably one for the normal one in Swamp and a second one for the one that spawns, attacks and despawns in the wisp area and in FotM 31s. The normal one doesn’t have underwater attacks while the one in FotM 31s does.

Lol, if they even have designed underwater skills for mossman, why dont they just let him use those skills when people want to bug him?
So that means that every boss in hotw is icebrood except the one before the final boss. That’s nice to know I suppose. Is it possible to see if icebrood slaying potions still work on the enemies that belong to different families, such as quaggans and ogres?

Don’t know. I’ve been suggesting that as a fix for pulling Mossman into the water for a long time now.
I really like that spread sheet, but isn’t Molten Facility (Test+Duo?) missing?
Yes it is. Atoi is looking for them around. The reason is they are not grouped in any specific folders but scattered in the files as it was recycled from the old dungeon.

I’m pretty sure the Mossman that appears on the ‘Mossman suddenly appears’ instability uses his underwater skills.
The required boss, though? Nah, too hard to make him use the skills.
As far as i know it was confirmed that all enemies in arah count as undead. However, according to this list, Shoggrogh count’s as elemental and so probably undead slaying doesn’t work?
It seems the data was deleted at some point. The links don’t work any more.
Is this data-mining still on-going? Giant and Plant slayer achievement hunters could potentially benefit if you could find some lurking in dungeons or out in the overworld.
