Vai'kesh Prophet (vaikesh_warlock_leader_boss_stats) - Dungeon Siege 2 magic creature

Template name: vaikesh_warlock_leader_boss_stats

The present day Vai'kesh remain ostracized and dwell in a tight-knit, cult-like community led by this one, the Vai'kesh Prophet. The Prophet is very old and very intelligent -- but not completely sane. He has visions of the future and is extremely powerful.

Level and strength

Worked out from the creature’s template, per difficulty
	Mercenary	Veteran	Elite
Level	28	54	76
Life	2,590	8,294	15,629
Damage	96 to 160	260 to 433	459 to 765
Defense	95	188	278
Experience	1,956	17,511	129,452

These are the base game’s numbers. Broken World changes them: see its version below.

Confidence: Medium Worked out from the formulas in the creature’s template, for the levels the template gives. Not compared with the game’s own Bestiary screen; spawn spots may change a monster’s level.

Weaknesses and resistances

Resistances (negative = weakness), percent of damage
	Mercenary	Veteran	Elite
Lightning	-50%	-25%	-10%
Death	+50%	+100%	+150%

Confidence: Medium As written in the template. A negative number means it takes more damage of that kind. Values of 100% and more are shown as given; the effect of going past 100% has not been tested.

Where it is found

Places the map files put it in (the numbers can be 100 or more)
Place	Placed	Spawned	Random encounters
Arinth's Ravine	2
The Vai'kesh Forest	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. 217
Kills needed: 1 kill

3 placed, 1 needed.

Confidence: Low the in-game kill test did not agree with the audit: victim died (life state dead/gone) but no k: moved

In-game kill test: died, no credit (DISAGREES with the data audit). victim died (life state dead/gone) but no k: moved

Natural spawn census: seen in 1 of 10 runs, most in one region: 3. A lower bound; a run only loads the areas near the party.

Bestiary fix package (in testing, not released): killing the Prophet that rides it counts (proven on Steam and in Broken World).

Confidence: High Tested on a private copy of the game.

Kill counts are kept separately for Mercenary, Veteran and Elite. See how the Bestiary works.
