About[edit | edit source]

Resembling dark leathery cloaks, these aberrations lurk in caves, waiting to slay lone or injured prey stumbling through the darkness.

One cloaker can be found during Act Two, in a hidden natural cavern in the Gauntlet of SharX: -819 Y: -867.

They have the ability to summon copies of themselves, called Phantasms.

Tactics[edit | edit source]

  • The Cloaker will be Ambushing Ambushing, forcing the player to pass a DC 18 Perception check to avoid getting Surprised Surprised. This check can be triggered on the toadstool platform at X: -805 Y: -862, the elevated position of which allows for easy high ground for initiating combat.
  • It has a multiattack which can be used when enemies are Frightened Frightened. However, only its phantasms can cause the frightened condition.
