*An [[amulet of stasis]] will keep it from teleporting you away mid-fight. You may wish to switch amulets as soon as you see a hellwing, as putting it on mid-teleport will incur [[magic contamination]].
+
*Unless you find a hellwing particularly early (mid-Dungeon, Lair), they usually don't pose much of a melee threat. The bigger threat is the hellwing appearing from behind, blocking your escape path.
*Try not to create any particularly beefy [[corpse]]s while facing hostile hellwings. Alternatively, you could allow them to resurrect fallen enemies so you can get extra experience.
 
*Their teleports can occasionally be handy in places like the Abyss, but don't wait around them hoping they will teleport you. Also, if you're fighting hellwings and want to teleport, make sure you haven't already had the teleport status inflicted on you: if you have, attempting to teleport will instead cancel the active teleport, wasting the scroll/wand charge.

A hideous skeletal demon. It swoops through the air on powerful wings of ancient withered skin, taking sadistic joy from harrying those who would try to flee its grasp.

Useful Info

Hellwings are pesky tier-4 demons with average melee combat skills and decent regeneration. They can make swooping attacks in range-4: when swooping, they land on the opposite side of a target, and instantly make a melee attack. They are found in the Abyss and Pandemonium, and are often summoned by other monsters through the Summon Demon spell.

Tips & Tricks

  • Unless you find a hellwing particularly early (mid-Dungeon, Lair), they usually don't pose much of a melee threat. The bigger threat is the hellwing appearing from behind, blocking your escape path.
