Hiisi
The Hiisi (listen ) (pl. Hiidet (listen
)) are a diverse type of hostile humanoid enemies which use various technology such as firearms, jetpacks, explosives, robots, etc. They are commonly found in the Mines, Collapsed Mines, Snowy Depths, Hiisi Base, among other locations throughout Noita. Its members are comprised mainly of those in the orcs faction and some from the healer faction.
Tactics
All Hiisi have projectile attacks, though the types of projectiles they can use vary quite a bit. See the individual enemy pages for detailed information on handling each type of Hiisi.
All humanoid Hiisi are capable of using wands found in the world. Wands can be kicked out of their hands, and they will quickly drop a wand that has spent all its spell charges.
Most humanoid Hiisi are weak to Toxic Sludge: they will take damage fairly quickly from it and, unlike other enemies, can also die from Toxic stains alone. The non-vulnerable humanoid Hiisi enemies are the Häivehiisi, Kilpihiisi, Parantajahiisi, Liimahiisi, and Puistokemisti.
Trivia
- In Finnish, the word Hiisi describes a type of troll, giant, or (more commonly in modern Finnish) goblin, that protects sacred mountains or hills, much as the Hiisi of Noita seek to prevent you from descending into the depths of the Holy Mountain.
