Shriekers are an Enemy in Divinity: Original Sin 2.

"T-they were Sourcerers once, but after whatever... perversion the Magisters subjected them to, they're death incarnate. If they c-can see you, they can kill you - instantly." -Exter

Shrieker information

• Shriekers, like Silent Monks, are source-purged Sourcerers who have been mutilated and attached to crosses by Magisters to serve as a defense system. They are crazed and resigned to their fate, with no possible way of bringing them back. The only way to release them from their torment is to kill them.
• Shriekers are created after a still-living purged Sourcerer is left to rot, decompose and lose themselves to insanity, their bodies becoming sickly green and decaying to the point that not even healing magic can save them. Once they are decomposing it's already too late - they will inevitably turn into the embodiment of death and cruelty that is the Shrieker.
• At the Abandoned Camp in the Hollow Marshes, several Sourcerers can be found strung-up to wooden crosses, decomposing and able to do nothing but await their fate.
• Shrieker attacks cannot be dodged, and deal 666,666 air damage.

• Status Effects:
  • Galvanised - Character is invulnerable to regular damage. However, they can be destroyed by Source Vampirism.
• Talents: None
• Abilities: Instantly kill any character after a short period of time (when within a certain range).
• : 100% :100%:100%:100%:100%

Notes and Tips

• Using a Purging Wand is the fastest and easiest way to kill Shriekers due to it having a casting range larger than that of a Shrieker's attack range. Source Vampirism, acquired later on in Act II, can be used instead of the wands, but has a much shorter range requiring you to close the distance to a Shrieker - using stealth so as not to get killed in the process.
• Since Shriekers deal air damage, it is theoretically possible to survive an attack with 100% or higher air resistance.
• Shriekers look almost exactly the same as the Gheist, albeit without the strange metal mask covering their cloth hood.
• It is possible to kill Shriekers without Source Vampirism using the Flay Skin spell. They still retain much of their resistances even when nullified however, meaning you would need very high damage spells in order to kill them.
