Template name: shard_soul_stats
These mysterious wraiths seem to you to have something to do with the plague, but what they are and where they come from is unknown. They float unfettered through the air, and seem to hate everything living. Their mere touch fills the living with cold and dread, seeming to sap their very soul.

The chance is for one kill of this creature (level 33 / 58 / 79 in Mercenary / Veteran / Elite) with magic find at 0: the chance that its drop table rolls an item of this kind, times this item’s share of the items that can come out at that level. Items with the same name are added up. Creatures of the same kind that the Bestiary lists under other names share the same drop table at their own level. Computed from the game’s drop tables, not measured. A source rolls the entries of its drop table; an entry asks the game’s item table for one item of the right class inside a level window; every matching item is equally likely (the game picks a random row, there is no rarity weight). Chance is per kill or per opening, with magic find at 0.
Where it is found
| Place | Placed | Spawned | Random encounters |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Temple Courtyard | 14 | ||
| The Snowbrook Haven Courtyard | 12 | ||
| The Lower Mines of Kaderak (side area) | 8 | 3 | |
| The Upper Mines of Kaderak | 6 | 4 | |
| The Lower Kithraya Caverns | 1 |
Confidence: Medium From the game’s map files. How many random encounters you meet is a roll the data does not fix.
Does it count for the Bestiary?
Can be completed
Enough of them exist, or a scene or conversation gives the credit.
- Base game book
- No. 279
- Kills needed
- 5 kills
41 placed, 5 needed.
Confidence: High the audit of the data files, confirmed by the in-game kill test
In-game kill test: unlocked after 5 kills (agrees with the data audit)
Natural spawn census: seen in 6 of 10 runs, most in one region: 46. A lower bound; a run only loads the areas near the party.
Kill counts are kept separately for Mercenary, Veteran and Elite. See how the Bestiary works.
