An infamous, dutiful retainer of Gehenna. These immense and indomitable oni weave their weapons through reality itself to reach and capture the innumerable damned souls owed to the hells upon their deaths.

“The popularity and longevity of the oni myth is no doubt partially based on the beings’ conventional demonic accoutrements, which have remained relatively constant through the ages: they are dreadful super-natural beings emerging from the abyss of Buddhist hell to terrify wicked mortals; their grotesque and savage demeanor and form instill instant fear; and the oni’s omnipresence in the socio-historical and cultural archive of Japan is directly attributable to the moral, social, and religious edification that stories about oni engender.”
-Noriko T. Reider, _Japanese Demon Lore: Oni from Ancient Times to the Present_, ch. 1, 2010.

Useful Info

Oni incarcerators are hellish guardians found in Gehenna, equipped with lightly-enchanted glaives or bardiches of flaming and fire dragon scales. Their powerful attacks drag the target towards them, which works in conjunction with the movement-preventing Throw Bolas and Manifold Assault expanding their reach to the entire screen.

Spells

Spell set I
Slot1 Manifold Assault Wizard flag
Slot2 Throw Bolas (2d16) Wizard flag

Tips & Tricks

  • Their dragging attack works with Manifold Assault, and can affect you even while you have -Move.
  • Manifold Assault works devastatingly well against summons, especially ones with high evasion but low AC or health.
  • Oni incarcerators are one of the few enemies in Gehenna susceptible to negative energy and poison damage. On top of this, their fire dragon scales make them vulnerable to cold damage.

History

  • Oni incarcerators were added in 0.33.
