Greater Mumblers

Greater Mumblers are fearsome foes that are encountered in Fear & Hunger. They are the greater version of the normal Mumblers.

Location & Behaviour
Greater Mumblers are present very scarcely in the game. One can be found at the bottom part of the Thicket, and one is guarding a room in the Grand Library in Ma'habre. The player can be alerted to their presence by the sound of a bell ringing, which sounds every few seconds if the greater mumbler is present within the location.

They chase the player, but can be somewhat easily avoided.

Lore
It seems that most of the followers of the God of the Depths act upon primal instinct, devoid of self-awareness or higher intelligence. The Greater Mumbler is an exception to this, and is described by the New Gods as mumblers who have gained consciousness and broken free from the reign of the god. Their ambitions are unknown.

Strategy
Greater Mumblers are stronger than its lesser counterparts, and have a higher health pool.

The bell on their left arm, if rung, will reduce the mind stat and sanity of one person in the party, and the lantern on its other arm will throw out a fire attack that deals a lot of damage to one member of the party. It also has a chance of melting the user's weapon, rendering themselves weaponless.

Dismembering its arms should be a top priority as they are its main damage dealing potential, along with the other reducing mind and sanity at an alarming rate. Considering it is a greater variant of the Mumbler, its head also explodes upon being cut, making an incentive to attack its body instead.
