A gaunt spirit of frozen hunger, so ravenous it will consume friend and foe alike. According to legend, if one cuts off its legs, it will feast upon its own marrow. It stalks those lost wandering in the cold and hunts with the force of blizzards.

Useful Info

Wendigos are found in Cocytus. Their signature ability is turning nearby simulacra into blasts of ice, dealing heavy damage. Their secondary spell lets them paralyze you for one turn and deal damage, possibly to blast you with an additional seracfall.

Spells

Tile	Name	Damage	Range	Flags
	Seracfall	3d28	LOS	Magical flag
	Stunning Burst	2d17	LOS	Magical flag

Tips & Tricks

Seracfalls do extreme damage, partially bypass cold resistance and completely ignore your EV score. Wendigos cannot use this lethal spell if no simulacra are in your line of sight, so make generous use of Ignition or other area-of-effect spells to ensure they never share the same screen.

History

Wendigos were added in 0.28.
