Ancient Servants are a type of undead mummy found in the Ancient Lair and Philgrave's Mansion during Act Three.

About ancient servants

Ancient servants are mummified creatures, in service to the Mummy Lord Mystic Carrion. The 7 Ancient Servants in Philgrave's Mansion can be spoken to if Mystic Carrion is not hostile. Completing  Defeat Mystic Carrion and ending the fight without killing the Ancient Servants makes them non-hostile again, and they thank the player for freeing them from the Mystic Carrion.

Mummies deal necrotic, bludgeoning and slashing damage, and will use their multiattack on creatures that have been  Frightened.

Tactics

• Undead servants main tactic is to Frighten creatures with Dreadful Glare, which allows them to use their multiattack.
• They are weak to fire damage, so spells such as  Fireball can be useful. However if encountered in the Ancient Lair using spells will deal damage to the caster, so it may be better to use items such as Alchemist's Fire or Arrow of Fire, or cantrips such as  Fire Bolt.
