Draug


The draug is a demon of fire and hatred. Much like the draugir, its body is animated by fire and formed of cast-off arms and shields. It is a lord of wraiths and commands countless draugirs and knight wraiths to do its bidding. The draug you face in Chapter 2 was once Vandergrift, also called “The Visitor,” who commanded Henselt’s forces at the Battle of Brenna. Unable to accept his defeat at Seltkirk’s hands, Vandergrift’s hateful spirit took advantage of the power of Sabrina Glevissig’s blood curse to take on the form of a mighty draug. The draug seeks to fight and refight the Battle of Brenna forever, until it finally wins.

Defeating the draug requires first destroying its armor, then reducing its vitality. The draug takes damage from the blows of a silver sword, slowly but surely. You can accelerate the process by oiling your blade with specter oil. It is best to roll around the draug to attack it from behind, but this can be difficult. You can stun the draug using Aard or Yrden, giving yourself an opening to attack. The draug attacks with great sweeps of its sword and a powerful charge. It is best not to flee too far from it, or it will rain fireballs from its army’s trebuchets and flaming arrows from its archers. Stay close to the draug and force it to focus all of its attention on fighting you. You can read the book The Legendary Accursed to learn more about the draug.

The draug has two unique drops, the draug armor fragment and the draug essence. Both are used only to craft the draug armor, which cannot be made until Chapter 3.
