Undead

For Undead in general, see Category: Undead.

Undead is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma.

Overview

Undead are one of the many monsters found not only in Gransys but in every corner of the world. Most are corpses that have been revived using necromancy and can thus only move within the reaches of that magick. There are also some examples of corpses buried in land with high magick concentrations coming to life spontaneously.

Their appearance is essentially human, but the undead have no memory of their former lives and very low intelligence. They usually form hordes of five to ten individuals, but there is no single undead that could be called the leader of these groups and they do not act so human as to consciously cooperate.

Another characteristic trait of the undead is their simplicity, which makes them particularly tractable. They have destructive tendencies and any creature that is their equal or inferior will be seen as prey and hunted down—humans and animals included.

They are said to possess no memory of their former lives, but in truth they do seem to maintain some fragmentary memories. At times, undead can be found talking to walls as if they were old friends or unconsciously performing habits they held in life: unnecessary gestures such as running their hands through their hair or rubbing their noses or mouths.

A single undead is not an opponent worthy of much fear, but if they appear in a horde, you should use more caution the greater their numbers.

Notes

• Weak against Fire and Holy magick and enchanted weapons.
• Resistant to Ice and Lightning, and highly resistant to Dark.
• Vulnerable to Torpor.
• Non-offensive Holy based spells such as Anodyne, Halidom and Spellscreen damage Undead.
• Core skill shots (Seeker/True Seeker) from Magick Bows are effective.
• Undead are more resilient when they emerge from the ground but can be grabbed whilst emerging.

Pawn Bestiary Knowledge

• Undead Strategy Vol. 1 - Weak to Holy.
• Weak to Fire.
• Undead Strategy Vol. 2 - Use Grapple in response when they attempt to grab you.
• Freezing them, then possibly shattering them while frozen.

In addition to witnessing these techniques, it is necessary for Pawns to participate in killing 500 Undead either with their own Arisen or while travelling with others.

More information can be found on the Bestiary page.

Pawn chatter

"I can't but envy their endurance!"

"That stench...Repulsive..."

"Waugh! Master, the corpses...!"

"They appear to roam in packs."

"Don't allow them to swarm!"

"There, Master! The undead!"

"A walking dead, there!"

"It does not seem human... 'Tis certainly no pawn."

"They are men no longer... 'Twould be a mercy to destroy them."

"Undead sleep beneath the earth!"

Quotes

Disturbingly, the Undead will speak of memories of their former lives, apparently unaware that they are in fact no longer living.

"My clothes are dirty."

"I don't want to go..."

"Where are you...?"

"Hahahaa....."

"Want to go home."

"My baby."

"I don't want to die."

"I'm so hungry..."

"Must keep working..."

"What will the wife say..."

"Needed back at the shop..."

"So weary..."

Trivia

• Female undead asking for their baby could be a reference to La Llorona or the weeping woman from Latin American folklore (see Wikipedia: La Llorona).
