Behaviour and Tactics

It is best to get in close and strike as soon as possible. They can easily be heard from a distance by the whirring sound their wings make.

Location
The Aspid Hunter can be found in the Forgotten Crossroads (mainly the area where the Glowing Womb is collected) and at the other side of the Ancient Basin Tram station.

They can also be spawned by the Collector.
