==Strategy==

==Strategy==

When a slime is hit, it will be knocked back a short distance, out of range of melee [[weapons]]. The best strategy to kill slimes is to quickly move into striking distance to prevent their charge attack and corner them against a wall or, ideally, in a corner (of walls, rocks, or both). Both the charged and regular attacks may be avoided by using a defensive move (such as the block of the regular sword). Timing a block with a sword well can allow the player to get a decent amount of damage. Otherwise, offense is the best defense.

When a slime is hit, it will be knocked back a short distance, out of range of melee [[weapons]]. The best strategy to kill slimes is to quickly move into striking distance to prevent their charge attack and corner them upwards or sideways against a wall or, ideally, in a corner (of walls, rocks, or both). Both the charged and regular attacks may be avoided by using a defensive move (such as the block of the regular sword). Timing a block with a sword well can allow the player to get a decent amount of damage. Otherwise, offense is the best defense.

The [[Slime Charmer Ring]] prevents all damage from Slimes. This ring is obtained as a reward for killing 1000 slimes for the [[Adventurer%27s_Guild#Monster_Eradication_Goals|Adventurer's Guild]].

===Big Slimes===

===Big Slimes===

Big Slimes have similar attack behavior to the smaller slimes. When killed they have a 75% chance to split into 2-4 smaller slimes which will attack the player. Those small slimes give XP as the regular slimes above do.

Big Slimes have an attack behavior that's similar to the smaller slimes. When killed they have a 75% chance to split into 2-4 smaller slimes that also attack the player. Those small slimes give XP as the regular slimes above do.  

 

Big Slimes are most common as Big Purple Sludges in the [[Skull Cavern]]. They can also appear on slime-infested floors of [[the Mines]] in the color for that section of the Mines.

During [[Mr. Qi]]'s [[Quests#Skull Cavern Invasion|"Skull Cavern Invasion"]] Special Order, Big Purple Slimes in the [[Skull Cavern]] may drop a [[Qi Gem]] (10% chance) or [[Galaxy Soul]] (0.45% chance).

Big Slimes may appear on slime-infested floors of [[the Mines]] in the color for that section of the Mines. They are most common in the [[Skull Cavern]], where they can be found on any floor as Big Purple Sludges. Big Purple Sludges have a chance to drop additional items during certain of [[Mr. Qi]]'s Special Orders. When they hold such a drop, they appear semi-transparent so that the drop may be seen within beforehand. They must be killed to get the drop.  During the [[Quests#Qi's Hungry Challenge|"Qi's Hungry Challenge"]] Special Order, they may drop a heart that heals 10 HP.

[[File:Prismatic Slime.gif|thumb|right|Prismatic Slime]]

The Prismatic Slime is a special monster that can be found in [[the Mines]], [[Quarry Mine]], or [[Skull Cavern]] on any level, after accepting the [[Wizard]]'s Special Order [[Quests#Prismatic Jelly|"Prismatic Jelly"]]. It looks like a regular slime that changes color over time. The Prismatic Slime can appear when the mines are in a [[The Mines#Shrine of Challenge|"dangerous"]] or normal state.

It looks like a regular slime that changes color over time. The Prismatic Slime can appear when the mines are in either state: normal or [[The Mines#Shrine of Challenge|"dangerous"]].

A Prismatic Slime will always drop the [[Prismatic Jelly]] that must be delivered to the Wizard in order to complete the Special Order.

A Prismatic Slime will always drop the [[Prismatic Jelly]] that must be delivered to the Wizard in order to complete the Special Order.

While the special order is active, each slime spawned in [[The Mines]], [[Quarry Mine]], or [[Skull Cavern]] has around a 1.2% chance to be replaced with a Prismatic Slime, depending on [[Luck|daily luck]]. The exact chance is <code>0.012 + Daily Luck / 10.0</code> <ref name="specialSlimes" />.

The exact chance is <code>0.012 + Daily Luck / 10.0</code>. Note, however, that the chance cannot drop below 0.01, so the chance is 0.01 whenever daily luck is less than -0.02. <ref name="specialSlimes" />

Note that a Prismatic Slime has very high HP (1000) and damage (35), and is thus considerably stronger than the slime it replaces.

===Dangerous Slimes===

[[File:Stacked Slimes.png|thumb|right|Green stacked slimes]]

Dangerous Slimes are a variation that can be found in [[the Mines]] or [[Skull Cavern]] on any level after accepting [[Mr. Qi]]'s challenge [[Quests#Danger In The Deep|"Danger in the Deep"]] or [[Quests#Skull Cavern Invasion|"Skull Cavern Invasion"]], or after activating the [[The Mines#Shrine of Challenge|Shrine of Challenge]]. They replace regular slimes and appear as a larger slime with sunglasses and a smile. They are relatively stronger than their normal variations, with 2x health and attack.  

Dangerous Slimes are a variation that can be found on any level of [[the Mines]] after accepting [[Mr. Qi]]'s challenge [[Quests#Danger In The Deep|"Danger in the Deep"]]. Successful completion of this quest activates the Shrine of Challenge on level 120. Thereafter, the shrine can toggle the mines overnight, alternating between the dangerous state and the normal state. If not toggled the first time, the mines stay dangerous. Dangerous Slimes replace regular slimes and appear as a larger slime with sunglasses and a smile. They are relatively stronger than their normal variations, with 2x health and attack.

 

Dangerous slimes also appear on any level of the [[Skull Cavern]] during either of [[Mr. Qi]]'s Special Orders [[Quests#Skull Cavern Invasion|"Skull Cavern Invasion"]] or [[Quests#Qi's Hungry Challenge|"Qi's Hungry Challenge"]]. The Skull Cavern is dangerous only during one of these quests.

Sometimes these slimes will appear stacked on top of each other. This variation is called a Stacked Slime. When hit with a weapon, the top slime will come flying off similar to a [[Squid Kid]] projectile. The Slime Charmer Ring does not grant immunity to this attack. After all slimes are knocked off, the bottom one works as a normal slime.
