The book can only activate when the target monster has a high proportion of life points - it won't activate if the monster has been significantly damaged. The book is most effective when killing many high-level non-boss monsters, ideally high-level slayer tasks like [[Edimmu]], [[Camel Warrior]]s, [[Ripper Demon]]s, [[Acheron mammoth]]s, and [[Wyvern]]s.

Passive

The passive has a 1/30 chance per hit to activate. When it activates, this will instantly kill the monster, or it will deal up to 5,000 damage to bosses.

The book can only activate when the target monster has a high proportion of life points - it won't activate if the monster has been significantly damaged. The book is most effective when killing many high-level non-boss monsters, ideally high-level slayer tasks like Edimmu, Camel Warriors, Ripper Demons, Acheron mammoths, and Wyverns. It is essentially always more effective to use a God Book, Berserk blood essence, or damage-/accuracy-boosting scrimshaw when fighting bosses, and more cost-effective to use Attacker's insignia or other pocket slot items when fighting lower level monsters.
