| - Though their bodies are fragile they move at an incredible speed and deal high amounts of damage: it's best to kill them as fast as possible. However, they have one additional feature that makes them even more lethal: upon death they explode, dealing even more damage. This makes Bone Fetishes one of the most dangerous monsters in the game, especially when found in a group. The exploding damage is based upon the amount of life they were spawned with. When playing with a full party, be warned, as the damage potential could be a severe. Freezing them with Cold attacks and finishing them off from a distance is one way to deal with this. Hirelings are also immune to the Bone Fetish death explosion, so Act II and Act V Hirelings, who use melee attacks can help keep them at a distance, might be another method of dealing with them. Blizzard made an interesting decision here, even though the Bone Fetish explode when killed, they give massive amounts of Experience. This sometimes puts players in a dilemma over whether to kill them and reap the benefits or try to kill them and be killed, or at least heavily damaged.
