Demons

**Demons** are dark entities that can mainly be found wandering the Lost Fields at night. Most demons are hostile to the player and will attempt to attack them, but players are also capable of fighting back against them. Killing demons is a good way to earn Gil, exclusive items, and skill points via Argoras' quests.

## **How to Kill Demons**

1. Being part of one of the seven main clans is required (See keystone for more information).
2. Go into character editor and under Social Site Info. There will be a drop-down menu that says tag.
3. Click on this menu and select your clan **(You cannot attack demons with the Dark Apprentice or Starch Lord tags)**.
4. Go into the Lost Fields at night (Between 20:00 and 4:00 in-game time) and click on demons once they start chasing you. If you find clicking to be bothersome or difficult, you can either type "/shoot" in chat, or click on the white gear to assign a hotkey for the /shoot command. The /shoot command can be found in the Chat tab.

You can view how many demon's you've slain by typing /kills.

**Please be mindful of other players when you're demon hunting. Stealing other players' kills by attacking demons they're trying to attack, whether accidental or not, is frowned upon due it making it harder for less-experienced players or players with low stats to make progress.**

### **Demon Behavior**

Barring differences in speed and the space they can move on, all demons act identically to each other. They'll spawn in random areas in or around the Lost Fields, where they'll slowly move around. Once a player gets close enough, they'll start to chase, moving at much higher speeds. The speed of a demon increases the further from the Fields it is led in order to stop people from bringing them to places where crowds of people are.

Demons attack by applying a random curse to their victim. Once the player is cursed, they'll go back to idling around until a new player comes within their vicinity, in which they will resume chase once more. Demons will always prioritize the closest player.

### **Mini Event**

During the Blood Moon Bash event, killing a demon earns you 1 point. Demons will also spawn outside of the Lost Fields, being able to be found in all outdoor places except the Deepwoods and Crystal Forest.

### **Bosses/Great Evils**

Occasionally, the game may spawn a boss demon. Unlike normal demons, which go down in 1 hit, bosses, have a set amount of HP that must be depleted before they are defeated. Bosses often required teamwork from multiple players to defeat due to their high HP and the inconsistent damage each player attack does. Bosses drop both several piles of Gil and items on defeat. Dropped items can be freely claimed by anyone, while Gil is split among everyone who participated in the fight. The amount of Gil you get seems to be proportionate to how much damage you do to the boss.

Claw of the Drachenlieche (Rare)
4-6 Gil (Piles)
Devil Bane
Devil Scale (Rare)
Writhing Stuffie

All bosses can distinguished from regular demons by the fact that they are named. The boss' name will always be a variant of "Evil [Name] the [Epithet]". The names are pulled from the names of demonic and/or evil figures from various mythological and religious stories. The epithet depends on the boss type; mini bosses will have adjectives with negative connotations for theirs, while the epithets for bosses will be their demon type. A boss' name can be viewed by hovering over them with the mouse or finger if on mobile.

### **Friends**

While most demons will attack players, there is a small group that are completely harmless. Known as Friends in the changelog, these demons cannot be interacted with, but will occasionally spout out cryptic messages relating to the game's lore. Unlike the hostile demons, Friends despawn on their own accord rather than at the start of dawn.

## **Demon Loot**

All demons have a low chance to drop loot upon kill, which can improved by raising your luck stat. Although most are just for decoration, there are also items that can boost accuracy when held, help you complete quests, and even give you an exclusive pet. Dropped loot and GIL from other players' kills take two passes (Approx. 5 minutes) before becoming abandoned and obtainable by other players.

Items dropped from demons include:

* Amorphous Wand
* Chaser Jaws (Chasers only)
* Claw of the Drachenlieche (Hand of Death only)
* Decaying Jawbone
* Demonroot
* Devil Bane (Raises accuracy by 3; Writhing only, also called Demon Bane by some)
* Devil Scales (Writhing only; rare)
* Devilroot
* Ebony Dagger (Hand of Death only)
* Empty Bug Jar
* Fang of the Drachenlieche (Hand of Death only; rare)
* Festering Jawbone
* Gilded Eye
* Gilded Eye Sword
* Gilded Eye Wand
* Putrid Jawbone
* Quest items (Must have a quest active; does not include quests from Argoras or Ocean Eyes)
* Raven Egg (*Extremely Rare*)
* Rotten Jawbone
* Stuffies (Amorphous, Ooze, Rot, Chaser, Grabber, Eyelord, Eye of the Drachenlieche, and Writhing)
* Toys 48-55 (Rare)
* Candies (Halloween only)

## **Trivia**

* Mythora mentions that it is possible to tame Amorphii. This is currently not possible in-game, and it is currently unknown if it was intended to be added in at some point.
	+ Amorphii pets can be obtain in Dergun Town's sister game, Forest of Mirrors/Mirrorwood however. Players have a chance to receive an Amorphous egg upon redeeming an Amorhpous Ticket, which can rarely be obtained from killing demons.
* The Lurch was the first Friend to be added to Dergun Town.
