Xucat', the Witch

Xucat', the Witch is the first Champion of the Serpent Temple in Curse of the Dead Gods.

Appearance
Xucat' looks like a diseased hag. She is holding a staff and has a sack filled with skulls on her back.

Boss fight
All of her attacks inflict both normal damage and corruption. Each time you hit her she will drop a skull mine.

Attacks

 * The first attack the witch will execute is surrounding you with 5 skull mines.
 * Her second type of attack is firing a spread of skulls, with multiple pattern options.

General Tips
A safe strategy would be waiting for one of the spread attacks, then chaining two combos. The mines are destroyable, and it is possible to dodge through the skulls that she shoots.

Champion's Weapon
Under a certain condition, Xucat' can drop her special weapon upon dying. This weapon is the "K'etyaam yaan", Witch's Crook.

Xucat' needs to be defeated while she is burning. When this condition is met, there is a 20% chance for the weapon to drop.

Journal entries
''Age seems a pointless concept for those kept from dying, but some of the denizens of these walls seem older than the temple itself. I have battled a collector of skulls, a hag or a crone of sorts, who has followed the path of Sich'al to its bitter end. Xbeltz'aloc seens amused by this wicked witch who tosses skulls like potato bombs.''

''I have bothing left to die for, yet I still cannot abandon the desire to live. Is this my destiny ... to live and die and live again ... until I find some time consuming hobby ... collecting finger bone or broken teeth. Perhaps then they will make me a champion of the snake goddess ... and the day I escape, I would have enough strange artifacts to open a museum.''
