Useful Info

Eidola are insubstantial undead, a type of wraith. Their melee attacks slow and cause stat drain, and they can fire damaging bolts at range. They can be found in and around the Crypt, the Abyss, and Tartarus.

Spells

Spell set I

Slot2	Cause Fear	Magical flag

Tips & Tricks

• Pile on the negative energy resistance when dealing with these guys, as Cause Fear coupled with Bolt of Draining can result in heavy amounts of draining very quickly.
• Cause Fear can be resisted with high willpower. This can be critical if you lack the means to defeat them quickly at range.
• Silence doesn't stop these guys from casting, so don't expect that silent spectre you have following you around to provide any assistance.

History

• Prior to 0.13, eidola would drain your experience with their melee attacks. This change accompanied the 0.13 overhaul to draining effects. They also gained Bolt of Draining.
