---

Hylek of the Astrozintli Forelands revere the life serpent Xiuquatl. While it's too small and gentle to be their savior, those traits make it Tequatl's perfect opposite—and a potent symbol of hope.

“

This mysterious obelisk houses a winged serpent familiar who will faithfully accompany you in battle.

Graphics

Xiuquatl is an Aztec-themed scepter, imbued with the spirit of a snake deity. Upon drawing the weapon, the snake materializes next to the wielder of the scepter and follows them. A green aura surrounds the bearer of the weapon. While stowed, the scepter lies dormant and the winged serpent returns to the scepter as an Aztec carving.

Aura

• A green mist covers the user of the scepter.

Draw/Stow effects

• Upon drawing the weapon, the scepter erupts in green light. Broken shards of the top of the scepter circle it, and the snake materialises.
• When stowed, the snake dematerialises and the broken pieces repair themselves.

Footfalls

• Misty green puddles appear on the ground and linger for a while.

Skill effects

• Default projectiles are replaced with bits of green jade.
  • Guardian: Orb of Wrath.
    • Dragonhunter: Spear of Justice.
  • Necromancer: Dhuumfire, Dark Path and Life Blast.
    • Harbinger: Tainted Bolts and Dark Barrage.
  • Elementalist: Dust Devil, Fiery Frost, Glacial Drift, Hurl, Ice Shards, Phoenix, Stone Shards, and Water Trident.
    • Tempest: Overload Fire's whirl finisher.
  • Mesmer: Ether Barrage, Ether Blast, Ether Bolt, and Counterspell.

Notes

• It is recommended that you do not attempt to stat change your precursor item with the standard stat swap recipe in the Mystic Forge. While you will be provided with an item with the desired stats, it will have been replaced with a generic ascended item that cannot be used as a legendary precursor.

Trivia

• Xiuquatl was released with Living World Season 4 Episode 4, A Star to Guide Us.
• Xiuquatl may refer to the Nahuatl words 'xiu' and 'coatl' which mean 'fire' and 'serpent' (or 'twin'), respectively.
• Xiuquatl may have been inspired by the Aztec deities Quetzalcoatl and Xiuhcoatl, which mean 'feathered serpent' and 'turqoise/fire serpent', respectively, in the Nahuatl language.
