A hideous translucent green spirit of a warrior fallen in battle but recalled to this plane by unholy magic. The blade it wields is ethereal, rendering those it strikes weak-willed and vulnerable to dark magic.

Useful Info

Phantasmal warriors are aggressive incorporeal undead with willpower-halving melee attacks. They often blink closer to you to engage in melee as rapidly as possible. They are occasionally found in the Depths, the Vaults, and the Crypt.

Tips & Tricks

They hit hard, but by the time you encounter them in the Depths, you should be able to easily vanquish anything with low hit points.
Be especially careful facing them if you're around anything that checks willpower, such as vampire knights.
You can summon your own phantasmal warriors with the Haunt spell.

History

Prior to 0.17, phantasmal warriors' attacks "pierced" through shields and armour, ignoring SH and only being subject to half of your AC.
Prior to 0.13, phantasmal warriors were fairly ordinary melee opponents with draining-branded attacks.
Prior to 0.9, they were called spectral warriors.
