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]].

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

A hideous undead creature, with torn skin hanging from an emaciated body. It restlessly stalks the dungeon, inflicting the anguish it felt in life upon those still living.

Useful Info

Flayed ghosts are unusual undead opponents most notable for their ability to inflict the flayed status effect on you. This is an irresistible smite-targeted effect which "damages" you for an amount which scales up with your max HP, although it can never bring you below 35 HP. These injuries are illusory, however, and will vanish the moment you kill the flayed ghost or after you've spent enough time out of the flayed ghosts line of sight. They are found in the lower-Dungeon, the Crypt, and Gehenna.

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.

History

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