Useful Info

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.

Tips & Tricks

  • You can summon your own flayed ghosts with the Haunt spell.

History

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.
