'''Flayed ghosts''' are unusual [[undead]] opponents who inflict the [[Flay]]ed [[status effect]]. Being flayed "damages" you for 25% of your current HP, which can stack, but is never directly lethal. All flay damage vanishes the moment you kill ''any'' flayed ghost (regardless of which one caused the status), after you've spent enough time without getting flayed, or if you drink a [[potion of cancellation]]. Otherwise, being flayed is exactly like taking damage from any other source. They are found in [[the Depths]], [[the Crypt]], or created by [[Summon Undead]].

'''Flayed ghosts''' are one of the beefier [[undead]] enemies, hitting as hard as a [[death yak]]. Beyond that, however, they have no particularly unique features except for a curious lack of [[cold]] resistance, and they show up so late in the game that they aren't terribly threatening. They are found in the lower-[[Dungeon]], [[the Crypt]], and [[Gehenna]].

In [[0.13]], flayed ghosts will be given a smite-targeted ability that inflicts the [[flayed]] [[status effect]]. This inflicts irresistable "damage" on the target which scales with the target's max [[HP]], but which will never reduce the target to less than 35 HP. These injuries are illusory, however; killing the flayed ghost will instantly end the status effect and heal all HP lost to it, as will staying out of the ghost's [[line of sight]] for several turns. Flayed ghosts will also be removed from the list of monsters that can be summoned with [[Haunt]].

Useful Info

Flayed ghosts are unusual undead opponents who inflict the Flayed status effect. Being flayed "damages" you for 25% of your current HP, which can stack, but is never directly lethal. All flay damage vanishes the moment you kill any flayed ghost (regardless of which one caused the status), after you've spent enough time without getting flayed, or if you drink a potion of cancellation. Otherwise, being flayed is exactly like taking damage from any other source. They are found in the Depths, the Crypt, or created by Summon Undead.

Tips & Tricks

  • On their own, flayed ghosts are fairly harmless; it isn't hard to kill them long before you've been heavily flayed. Coupled with other enemies, however, they can be extremely lethal. Try to lure off individuals and avoid overconfidence.
  • If a flayed ghost hides behind other enemies, use penetrating or smite-targeted attacks to kill it.
  • If multiple flayed ghosts are in view, killing one will cure all of your flay, no matter which one caused the status in the first place.

History

  • Prior to 0.13, flayed ghosts were one of the least interesting undead opponents. They were fairly beefy melee fighters, but otherwise had no distinguishing features. They were also one of the possible results you could wind up with when casting Haunt.
