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 |
