The Ethereal Warrior is a winged, angelic guardian. It hunts only the evil, and it offers resurrection to good-aligned ghosts that come near it.
Overview
- In-game name: a random ethereal warrior name
- Corpse: an ethereal warrior corpse
- Behavior: it attacks creatures and players with negative karma (evil) on sight, ignores everyone else, and fights like a spellcaster (mage AI), mixing spells with melee.
- Movement: it is one of the faster creatures in the game (fast speed).
- Notoriety: it shows as innocent (blue).
- Enemies: fey creatures (wisps, pixies, centaurs, ethereal warriors and the like) and the undead are enemies and attack each other on sight.

Abilities
Magic
It fights with the mage AI: it closes to melee range but casts between swings. Its Magery is 99.1–100.0 and its Evaluating Intelligence 90.1–100.0.
- Damage spells: Magic Arrow, Harm, Fireball, Lightning, Mind Blast, Energy Bolt, Explosion and Flame Strike.
- Other spells: about 1 cast in 8 is Poison (only if you aren't poisoned already). It may also Bless itself, curse you (Weaken, Clumsy, Feeblemind or Curse), drain your mana (Mana Drain or Mana Vampire) or Paralyze you.
- Healing: it cures itself when poisoned, and sometimes heals itself (Greater Heal when badly hurt), more often the higher its Magery.
- Dispel: with 351+ Intelligence it can cast Dispel on your summoned creatures (more reliably the higher its Magery).
Special behaviors
- Resurrects good ghosts. When a dead player's ghost moves to within 4 tiles of it (and it can see them), it offers them a resurrection (at most once every 2 seconds), but only if they have positive karma and aren't a criminal or a murderer.
- Draining touch. Whenever it hits something in melee, or something hits it in melee, the other one takes 10–19 extra damage and loses 10–19 stamina and 10–19 mana.
Loot
Every ethereal warrior carries:
- Gold: about 780–1,050 in total (from its "Rich" ×3 loot)
- 1 random gem (amber, amethyst, citrine, diamond, emerald, ruby, sapphire, star sapphire or tourmaline)
It may also carry:
- A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 9 chances, from about 20% down to 1% each)
- A musical instrument (about 3% or less)
Carving
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
- 100 feathers
Location
- Champion spawn: it is a level 4 creature of the Forest Lord champion spawn (champion: Lord Oaks), so it appears at the fixed Forest Lord altar at 5559, 3757 (Lost Lands). Each one killed during a spawn gives the killer Valor and champion-title progress.
Tips
- Don't melee it with low health; every exchange of blows costs you extra health, stamina and mana.
- If you die near one, walk your ghost up to it for a free resurrection (positive karma, not criminal or murderer).
- It only attacks players and creatures with negative karma.
- Carve it for 100 feathers.
