Useful Info

Deep elf death mages are necromancers who raise any corpses they come across as abominations when they aren't throwing skill-draining negative energy blasts at you. Lost souls summoned by them can sacrifice themselves to heal nearby undead creatures or assume the shape of a nearby killed living creature. They can be found most commonly on the third floor of the Elven Halls, but they can also appear on Elf:1 and 2, the Crypts, and the Vaults.

Tips & Tricks

  • Maxed life protection takes away their ability to injure you outside of melee, as does silence.
  • The lost souls deep elf death mages summon can prolong difficult battles tremendously if you accidentally finish off a dangerous opponent while they're around. If possible, take out death mages alone, or at least not in the company of any other powerful foes.
