Occultist

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.

History
