Wraith



 is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

They appear as a variation of Phantoms that glow with a red hue. They often appear in numbers, normally 3 or 4 of them at a time, and are usually found helping stronger monsters such as Cursed Dragons or Saurian Sages. They have few attacks other than clinging to a Pawn or even the Arisen and dealing damage until removed.Wraiths can also inflict possession on your pawns. Wraiths can Drench the Pawn/Arisen by flying through them.

Information and Stats
They are a variant of Specters that appear on Bitterblack Isle with a red-ish tone. Wraiths are more resistant to magick damage than their other variants, however they are still weak against Holy magick. Physical attacks from enchanted weapons will deal little to no damage even if enchanted with Holy magick, which is why magick attacks are a must against them. Once a Wraith has completely depleted a Pawn's health gauge, it will drag her through the floor and disappear, meaning you will have to access a Rift Stone to get him back. Wraiths can also possess an unconscious pawn, forcing him to immediately forfeit. Arisens and Pawns under the effect of a Wraith's clinging attack will be unable to loot chests and pick up drops for the duration of the hold.

Tactics

 * Weak against Holy magic.
 * Stay close to your pawns and revive them when necessary so as to keep them safe from a Wraith's possesion.
 * Mages and Sorcerers are effective at dealing with Wraiths provided they have their weapons enchanted with Holy Affinity.
 * Ranged vocations enchanted with Holy Affinity will deal little damage to them with the exception of Magick Archer.
 * When a Pawn is attacked with the Wraith's clinging move, they will begin to take damage over time and will call out for help. If another character strikes the inflicted pawn, the Wraith will let go.
 * If the Arisen is inflicted with the Wraith's clinging attack, it can be knocked off by Pawns. Alternatively, enemies and other sources of damage such as Explosive Barrels can be used.
 * Mystic Knight's Great Cannon with Ascalon or other weapons with Holy imbuements (Affinity, Trance, etc.), may be the best option, as the Cannon will home in on them and deal Holy magic damage.
 * Although Holy magick inflicts considerable damage, it is still a chore. Casting Ice Affinity while using Mage, Sorcerer, or Mystic Knight and strictly spamming light attacks works well as an alternative to using Holy magick.
 * Mystic Knight's Stone Forest works quite well against them.
