35 The Witch Totem is a static structure deployed by Plague Witch enemies during combat. The totem is not an enemy in its own right, in the sense that it does not move or strike, but it amplifies the Witch's spell range and acts as a tether for status effects on the player.

79 A Witch Totem is planted at the start of a fight when a Plague Witch is alerted. It is rooted in place, has a small hitbox, and visibly emits a corruption pulse on a fixed cadence. While the totem is alive, the parent Witch's hexes apply faster, last longer, and can chain across multiple players in a co-op group. Destroying the totem early breaks the tether and turns the Witch fight into a more conventional caster encounter.
