Bête des Cinq Venins
A gu beast of the Five Venoms sect, carrying the poison of five.
Overview
A gu of the Five Venoms sect: five venomous beasts were shut in a bronze jar, and the last one alive carried the poison of all five. The jars were hidden deep in the mines; their keepers still crawl out, marked with the five characters and ringed with bronze by their old masters.
Smaller than the Fileuse, with venom dripping from its fangs, it fights the same way with venom for silk: its spit and its bite poison, and it leaps on a poisoned prey.
As it dies its venom sac swells and bursts, leaving a green puddle and a small cloud of Poison on the ground for 5 seconds.

On a poisoned prey 3 to 6 blocks away it leaps and bites on landing.

How to beat it
- Step back after the kill: the burst leaves Poison on the ground for 5 seconds.
- Dodge the spit with Left Alt; once poisoned, expect the leap.
- In tight mine tunnels, keep Guard up facing it; a parried bite staggers it.
