Talk:Demon

This article needs to be deleted or rewritten/elaborated. Unless we have a clear ingame definition (which I think we don't have), we should dump the article. -- 04:17, 3 February 2006 (UTC)


 * As far as I heard, there is a weapon upgrade "of Demonslaying" in factions. Finally we have a way to determine which creatures are "demons"! :) --Tetris L [[Image:TurningL sml.gif]]  10:20, 2 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Just a guess, but the Oni appear to be something of a demon-like beast. --Pyro05x 02:37, 10 May 2006 (CDT)


 * My personal guess is that many or most of the creatures that appear out of nowhere (Oni, Nightmares, Wrath, Phantoms, ...) are sub-types of the Demon species. But that again is just a guess. I want proof (with a weapon "of Demonslaying"). Anybody got his hands on such a weapon yet? --Tetris L [[Image:TurningL sml.gif]]  03:29, 10 May 2006 (CDT)

 * And, did any tests with it yet? --Tetris L [[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L block]] 05:23, 16 May 2006 (CDT)


 * °BUMP° --Tetris L [[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L block]] 09:11, 22 May 2006 (CDT)


 * No, binned it :/ Thought you just wanted proof Skuld  09:48, 22 May 2006 (CDT)


 * I had one as well, but didn't even think about saving it, until I read this talk page. Next one I find I'll save. For testing Oni, there is a Lesser Oni that always spawns just north-east of the exit from Tsumei Village. Just walk out of town, and hug the wall as you head north-east. It only take a moment to get to. LordKestrel 12:41, 22 May 2006 (CDT)

Finally I got my hands on a Demonslaying sword! I intend to test it on various creatures that are potentially Demons over the next few days. Mostly creatures that pop up out of thin air, like Onis, Nightmares, Phantoms, Wraiths, ... I do not exactly consider UW/FoW/Tombs my "second home", so I may not be able to test potential demons from these realms in the near time. But if any other GWiki regular wants to do tests, I'll gladly lend my Demonslaying sword. Contact me ingame. -- 08:19, 12 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I did some tests with Wild Blow tonight. The results are consistent and clear. I used my max dmg sword of Demonslaying (+15%), and since it is an ebon sword I also used an icy, a fiery and a normal slashing sword for comparison, with all of them max dmg. I tested the following creatures:
 * Lesser Oni (just outside Tsumei Village)
 * Smoke Phantom (in The Black Curtain)
 * Wraith (in The Black Curtain)
 * Fog Nightmare (in Kessex Peak)
 * Phantom (just outside Ember Light Camp)
 * Results:
 * The only one of these creatures that takes increased dmg from the Demonslaying sword is the Oni. It takes 16% more damage (50 instead of 43) from the demonslayer, not 15% as per weapon description, but I blame that inaccuracy on rounding.
 * The other creatures take exactly the same damage from all 3 elemental dmg swords (one of them being the demonslaying), but only about half as much dmg from the slashing sword.
 * Does anyone have any other suggestions for potential demon creatures except Onis? I'll gladly test them. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 15:58, 12 June 2006 (CDT)


 * The guys that use Demonic Agility? - 16:05, 12 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I meant the Kanaxai aspects. - 16:07, 12 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Yes, can you please test it on Kanaxai Aspect and Shadow of Kanaxai (don't know if you have the outposts to get to them or not). Also, you need to get a group of people willing to keep you alive as you test it on Bladed Aatxe, Coldfire Nights, Grasping Darknesses, Terrorweb Dryders, Charged Blacknesses and Stalking Nights. I can make UW runs fairly easily with friends, so if you lend it to me, I can do the UW tests or the Kanaxai tests.
 * Also, try and lose the Ebon mod. Put something that doesn't affect the damage output, like Zealous or Poisoner's. --Karlos 17:26, 12 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Banished Dream Riders. --Gares Redstorm 17:42, 12 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Nope. Banished Dream Riders and Mindblades Spectres and Smite Crawlers all drop Ghost poop. since none of the "phantom" ones he tested it on were demons, those guys will not be demons most likely. We could it to confirm, but it's lower priority I think. --Karlos 18:37, 12 June 2006 (CDT)


 * That is what I was getting at. Banished Dream Riders are designated Unknown species and since you brought up Smite Crawlers, they are under Phantoms. Unknown -> Phantom? --Gares Redstorm 19:18, 12 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Done. And scratch that loan on the demonslaying upgrade, I got a Gavel of Demonslaying tonight (sigh). --Karlos 00:38, 13 June 2006 (CDT)
