This "head" will terrorize and repel only that exact type of creature within the area of effect. Would be a fun and interesting use of the trophies. Oh and if this were implemented, make sure to configure deer to raid and eat your garden...so deer trophies would still have a use. Haha :)

Yeah, that'd be cool. Make it so we can mount them on the cart. It'd be a little more convenient and add a little style.

I feel your pain - it was the last trophy I had to get to complete my collection. The only answer I found was to "kill lots of Stone Golems" - I killed 30+ before I got a drop

Going into the mountains at night made finding them a bit easier (for me, anyway): they stood out against the background (at a distance) a bit more clearly than in daylight. Just be careful of the rest of the wildlife...

ugh. I've killed so many. The worst part is I think I got one the first time I killed a golem but thought they wouldn't be so hard to find and needed room in my inventory so I tossed it...

Same. I actually got a golem drop fairly early but have never seen a wraith trophy. Luck of the draw.

Ah I see, good to know.

So, W trophies, X surtling core, Y hard wood, and Z grey eyes for a repell/shamanic totem?

Yeah like that. Would be neat :) Could make it to where only one 'head on a pole' could be displayed in that area of effect, which would make you really have to consider which to use and where. So do you protect your treasure room against Trolls? Or should you protect against Greydwarves or maybe your menace is something else? You wouldn't be able to protect stuff against everything, you'd have to put careful consideration into it depending on the value of what you were trying to protect.

Me personally? I'd place normal and grey dwarf shaman totems along my roads because they are a pain in the bootie when I am fighting with a cart full of wood. Later when they put in beast of burden it will scare away baddies so my mule doesn't go running off with my wood. Haha

Also like to see the ability to put trophies on spikes to display outside your bases. Perhaps it could put out an intimidation effect that keeps those particular mobs at away from your base better.

One of the best suggestions I've seen in this forum! +10 to that

thanks, that's what I was thinking too about it being the same creature just a higher level to make it more difficult.

If they did this correctly it could be a good idea. But right now the only thing that makes the bosses hard is just a huge hitpoint pool and the easy way would be to just do the same to high star creatures. If they figured out a better system I would be very excited.
The bosses in this game are by far my least favorite part of the game. Although I imagine I am in the minority with that opinion.

Well with more stars a creature has I believe the more damage it does along with boosted hp so I think it could work out. It's not like bosses have a star system like the mobs do so yeah i agree. I wish there could be an option to make the bosses more difficult after the first defeat. I can practically one hit the first boss with the best gear maxed out.

It'd be cool to get more items from them too like a 3 star drops about 3x the items so it'd make sense for a 5 star to drop 5x. Would be good for useful items.

I like the idea :) Even if it's the same creature/being as the trophies used, but with stars to up the difficulty of it depending on how many trophies sacrificed.

Fighting a 10 * boar would be terrifying lol

Edit: Just because I like the idea doesn't mean anything official for the game btw. Just thought I'd point that out, I'm only a mod :)
