Useful Info
Occultists are spell casters who can roast you with Fireballs or banish you into the Abyss. Fortunately, they are flimsy. They can be found in late Dungeon and Depths.

Tips & Tricks
- Occultists can deal high damage, but they aren't too evasive, cannot see invisible, and don't have much willpower.
- Banishment requires line of fire, and can be defeated by high enough willpower of your own. Fire resistance is helpful to defend against Fireballs, too.
- A silenced or waterlogged occultist can only do weak melee attacks.
Mad Acolyte of Lugonu
You may encounter a mad acolyte of Lugonu when approaching certain rune vaults in the Abyss. These variant occultists always spawn wielding distortion-branded weapons and can cast Smiting, Malign Gateway, Blink, Blink Other, and Invisibility.
| A devoted follower of Lugonu, driven mad by years of living in the Abyss.
"And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you." -Friedrich Nietzche, "Beyond Good and Evil", 1886 |
