'''Shadow wraiths''' are one of the more dangerous insubstantial [[undead]] monsters. They are innately [[invisible]], and sneak up on you undetected before [[draining]] your XP with their melee attacks. If you can see where they are, however, they have few other advantages and go down quickly. - They are found in the lower-[[Dungeon]], [[the Crypt]], and [[Gehenna]].

'''Shadow wraiths''' are incorporeal [[undead]] foes which inflict the [[slow]] [[status effect]] with their melee attacks, much like [[wraith]]s.

Useful Info

Shadow wraiths are incorporeal undead foes which inflict the slow status effect with their melee attacks, much like wraiths. Unlike wraiths, however, they are innately invisible and deal more damage with their attacks. Even so, they are only moderately dangerous on their own, only posing a real threat when they slow you while facing more substantial enemies or suddenly block your passage. They can be found in the lower portions of the Dungeon, the Crypt, and the Hells.

Tips & Tricks

Shadow wraiths are a very good reason to have see invisible active while exploring areas they generate in. Wasting turns in combat with an invisible foe when you intended to run away from something else can be extremely hazardous.

History

  • Prior to 0.16, one rank of negative energy resistance was enough to protect you from their slowing effect.
  • Prior to 0.13, shadow wraiths would drain your experience with their melee attacks. This change accompanied the 0.13 overhaul to draining effects.
