Essence of Darkness

An Essence of Darkness is a creature that appears in the Lightless Oubliette, in Coldharbour. Coming too close to one of these creatures will cause you to lose speed, and will temporarily disable your Light of Meridia.

Light from the Darkness
During this quest, the Light of Meridia is used to provide illumination throughout the Lightless Oubliette. If you walk near an Essence of Darkness, they will extinguish your light for about 5 seconds. It must then be activated to be used again.

Locations

 * Lightless Oubliette

Combat
For the most part, Essences of Darkness are harmless creatures. They will not attack you when you walk by them, and instead will only cause you to lose speed. When attacked, they will engage in combat, and have identical attacks to Wisps.
