Useful Info

Wraiths are evil, incorporeal undead monsters. Like most undead they resist poison and cold, and their melee attacks drain your vigor, inducing the slow status effect for several turns. Although potentially dangerous in a crowd, on their own they are fairly nonthreatening. They can be found in the middle-floors of the Dungeon, as well as in the Crypt.

Tips & Tricks

• You can summon your own wraiths with the Haunt spell, and Yredelemnul will occasionally gift them.
• If you find a pack of wraiths, it might be a sign that Josephine is nearby.
• Like all undead, they are not affected by forms of fear.

History

• Prior to 0.18, their melee attacks could slow only targets without negative energy resistance.
• Prior to 0.13, wraiths would drain your experience with their melee attacks. This change accompanied the 0.13 overhaul to draining effects.
