From HGWiki
Obox-ob was the first prince of demons. When the bloodthirsty primordial Demogorgon and the obyrith Dagon fought, Obox-ob, the loathsome prince of vermin, grabbed the evil shard and was transformed into the first Prince of demons.

Overview
- Zionyn is the home of the insectoid Ekolid, which heal on Electrical, making this damage type generally a bad idea for this run.
- Also keep in mind that there are very few outsiders in this realm. Most mobs consist of shapechangers, magical beast, animals and vermin.
Main threats
- Implanted Ekolid Eggs count as disease and kill you (spawning more Ekolids in the process) if not removed in 2 minutes
- Recommended Immunities: Acid, Electrical, Magical, Positive
- Curses are quite frequent as well
- Freedom of movement is necessary to avoid domination
Enemy guide
- Abyssal Ant Swarm - are very high priority targets for Sleep-ing and/or Drowning. They can also be Energy Drained to death
- Brood Keeper - Heartbane, Mortal strike or Called Shot can instakill these.
- Broodswarm - Heal on Fi but vulnerable to Death Magic
- Chasme
- Chelicera - Heartbane, Mortal strike or Called Shot can instakill these.
- Draudnu
- Dretch - Heartbane, Mortal strike or Called Shot can instakill these.
- Ekolids: Kill with Heartbane (note that the Builders and Chitterers will need to have their spell shields removed before you can do this) or Mortal strike/Called Shot. They can also be stunned with Stunning Fist, KD'ed and Energy Drained
- Ekolid Builder - it's Druid - DC 56 Fort save for egg implantation - Insanity aura (Will Save, if fail need Concentration check to cast spells) - Summons a Xac-Yij, casts Earthquake for high Positive damage
- Ekolid Chitterer - it's a Bard - Egg implantation and Insanity aura as above, spawns with Ethereal Visage
- Ekolid Devourer - Ekolid Reaver - Fighter types - Egg implantation and Insanity aura as above
- Fiendish Aboleth - Cold is best against them

- Myrmyxicus - can be Confused and non-paragons can be killed with Rebuke. They also have very high AC (~110 ish) and immunity to critical hits which makes it difficult for melee-types to beat them down quickly. Paragon Myrmyxicuses are immune to Rebuke
- Resin Golem

- Resinous Ooze
- Rutterkin - Heartbane, Mortal strike or Called Shot can instakill these.

- Vrock - Heartbane, Mortal strike or Called Shot can instakill these.
- Wastrilith - are vulnerable to Disintegrate, Power word, kill and Mortal strike or Called Shot can instakill these. They also can summon a Xor-Yos (takes only Fire and heals on Cold) which can be Banished.
Like other Abyssal casters, Wastriliths have an ability score buff (Owl's Wisdom) which is unbreachable but mordable. This increases their spell DCs by 6 points
- Xor-Yos

- Boss: Obox-ob was once the Prince of Demons, but was killed once by the Queen of Chaos. He managed to survive death, however, and now commands an entire layer of the Abyss, a hideous world known as Zionyn. Obox-ob is an obyrith, a type of demon far older than the tanar'ri. Obox-ob despises the tanar'ri and hopes to cleanse them from the Abyss, taking back his title from Demogorgon and leading the obyriths against the eladrin, who played a part in his downfall - He's a giant scorpion takes Acid Electrical and Magical best.
Obox-ob as a Prince Strategy
| Spoiler Warning! |
|---|
|
Similar to the non-prince Obox-ob fight although use of +16 enhanced weapons is required to pierce his damage resistance, his helper is The Shade of Miska a large multi-headed thing with many legs which can usually be left until Obox-ob himself is dead, although as it constantly spawns Creeping Doom clouds it can be a good idea to remove it more quickly if possible. The helper (and most of the spawns) take Divine damage so Meteor Swarm can be very effective although Obox-ob itself does not suffer from this vulnerability. |
