Corpse exploitation

From Guild Wars Wiki

To exploit a corpse basically means to use it up, consuming it. Some creatures, including most constructs, ghosts, spirits and elementals, leave corpses that can be never exploited.

Once a corpse is exploited, it can't be exploited anymore.

Skills that require a corpse in some range, like Nibble or Signet of Sorrow or Animate Bone Fiend always refer to exploitable corpses that have not yet been exploited.

The following skills exploit corpses:

• Animate Bone Fiend - Core
• Animate Bone Horror - Prophecies
• Animate Bone Minions - Core
• Animate Flesh Golem (Elite) - Factions
• Animate Shambling Horror - Nightfall
• Animate Vampiric Horror - Factions
• Consume Corpse - Prophecies
• Necrotic Traversal - Prophecies
• Putrid Explosion - Core
• Soul Feast - Core
• Well of Darkness - Nightfall
• Well of Blood - Core
• Well of Power (Elite) - Prophecies
• Well of Silence - Nightfall
• Well of Suffering - Prophecies
• Well of the Profane - Core
• Well of Weariness - Factions

[edit] Notes

• Characters that die under the effect of Unyielding Aura will leave already exploited corpses.
• If a Flesh Golems dies because its master gains control of a second Flesh Golem, it will leave an exploited corpse.
