COMBAT BARRIERS

You may find yourself trapped in
combat by physical obstacles or
magical forcefields that block your exit.
You must destroy all the enemies in the
area before the barriers will be lifted.

SPELL CASTERS

Some enemies cast offensive or
defensive spells on themselves and
their comrades. It’s often wise to take
out the spell-casters in a group first to
prevent them from aiding their allies. 
Some spells you will encounter are:

Amplify Damage

— Used by the

Sarafan and Vampire Hunters to
increase the damage caused by
their comrades. Indicated by a red
glow on the enemy’s weapon.

TK Shield

— Used by Vampire

Hunters and Revenants to protect
themselves from telekinetic
assaults. Indicated by a purplish-
blue glow on the affected enemy.

Regeneration

— Used by the

Sarafan and Vampire Hunters to
heal their comrades during battle.
Indicated by a whitish glow around
the healed enemy.

Berserk

— Used by the Sarafan

(and occasionally Revenants) to
amplify their battle fury, turning
the affected enemy into a ruthless
opponent. Indicated by a reddish-
orange effect on the enemy.

Glyph Shield

— Used by the

Sarafan, Vampire Hunters and
Cenobites as a protective shield that

repels attacks. Indicated by a ring
of glowing Runes around the
affected enemy. You must destroy
the shield before you can damage
your opponent.

Fire Shield

— Employed by some

animated Statues, the shield inflicts
massive damage on an attacker who
strikes the enemy while it is active.
Indicated by a fiery orange
forcefield around the enemy.

Summoning

— Some enemies can

summon other creatures to do their
bidding. Summoners’ sorcery fails
when they become too wounded.

ARCHONS

These spectral foes latch onto Raziel
when they attack, siphoning his energy
through a spirit-tether. Raziel must
counter-attack or retreat to escape
being completely drained.

TENTACLES

These minions of the Elder God strive
to ensnare the characters. Kain and
Raziel must attack rapidly to escape
their grasp. When Raziel is in the
material realm, Tentacles will try to drag
him back into the spirit world.
