Useful Info

Lorocyprocas are innately invisible tier-2 demons that sneak up on you and damage both HP and MP with their antimagic branded attacks. Although they aren't terribly durable, finding them in the first place can be a challenge, and any caster that lets them get into melee range will regret it. They can be found in the Abyss and Pandemonium.

Tips & Tricks

  • Lorocyprocas are just one of many reasons to keep up the see invisible intrinsic whenever you're somewhere demon-infested.
  • Once they get within a few tiles of you, casters should treat them like eyes of draining; don't conserve your MP if the alternative is letting a monster simply take it away.

History

Prior to 0.10, lorocyprocas were slightly slower than average and had an unbranded attack.
