-The Minion of Huhetotl's temple is filled with various monsters, so be sure to clear out the temple before confronting them. The Minion can inflict very large amounts of damage with their two weapon attacks and spellcasting, which at minimum includes [[drain strength]], [[summon nasties]], [[curse items]], and [[destroy armor (monster spell)|destroy armor]]).

 The minion's high [[Magic resistance (monster)|MR score]] of 75 lets them easily resist being put to [[sleep]] or [[polymorph]]ed, meaning that other offensive spells, wands and melee attacks are more reliable. A blessed [[silver saber]] or [[dwarvish mattock]] is effective against the Minion, since they are a large monster and the Archaeologist can achieve Expert in both the [[pick-axe]] and [[saber]] [[skill]]s. However, remember that even with magic resistance, the Minion cursing a wielded mattock or other [[two-handed]] weapon will leave you without the use of your hands, so prepare a means of emergency curse removal if you employ this strategy, e.g. a [[bag]] with [[scrolls of remove curse]] or a cache of [[holy water]].

-The Minion of Huhetotl is accompanied by various monsters in his god's [[Archeologist quest#The Crypt|temple]] and capable of [[summon nasties|summoning more]], so be sure to clear out the temple before confronting him. Like all quest nemeses, he is covetous, and can inflict very large amounts of damage with his two weapon attacks and spellcasting (which includes [[drain strength]] and [[destroy armor (monster spell)|destroy armor]]). It's recommended that you awaken him remotely while on the upstair (or else teleport to the upstair after doing so) and engage him there with a means of engraving [[Elbereth]] and a source of [[magic resistance]]; in [[3.6.0]] and later versions, consider using a [[scroll of scare monster]] for this strategy as well.

Wielding a blessed [[silver saber]] is very effective, as is a blessed [[dwarvish mattock]] - the Minion is a large monster, and the archaeologist can achieve Expert in both the [[pick-axe]] and [[saber]] skills.
