Grievewraiths

Description
Legend of the Grievewraith
“ Holy Nation legend tells of the souls of the lost Shek becoming consumed by malice, hate and envy for the living. Their naturally 'aggressive' nature, as the Okranites claim, make them the most easily corruptable by the 'demoness'. The Grievewraith consists of a rotting corpse with the spikes, or limbs, of a flesh insect protruding from it's back, supposedly this is it's mid-transformation into a beast.

Now, legend aside, we've had numerous sightings of these wraithes both by Holy Nation residents and adventurers, mainly around the ruins of the central plains. So far we've learned that they are nocturnal and they prefer to take victims in the rubble of cities which have been heavily touched by death. All of it's victims have disappeared without trace, we can only assume fully consumed by the wraith. A likely explanation for their existence would be a parasitic form of flesh insect, one which roots itself into the boney matter of a Shek body, and continues to grow and control the body even after it's victim has perished and begun decomposition.

Based upon the legend and a broken model I found in the game files.

You thought blood spiders were scary? Wraiths make them look like cute puppies in comparison... Both faster and waaaaay stronger... Even high level characters are likely to be eaten en masse. They're mostly nocturnal and sometimes spawn nests. Okran help you if you blindly walk into a nest...

If you see a wraith, best thing to do is run unless you got a hardened platoon armed with desert sabres. Though if you do manage to kill one, you can sell their horns for a large profit, even more so in the holy nation.

They mostly spawn in the holy nation territory... Mercifully they're rare so you wont see many if any at all.

Don't go near the ruins in Skinner's Roam unless you have a deathwish.

Dis is a bit late, but fir the peeps askin’, Grievewraith nests do spawn, but der Nest squad wasn’t setup correctly so the nests would count as wiped out as soon as deh spawned. :Dogeface:

I just added your mod to a patch to revive an old mod, the nexus empire, I hope you don't mind, your credits and link to the mod are respected.

For anyone interested, I created a mod to fix the hitbox/crossbow issue. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3448087758&searchtext=

1 year since my last comment, still a great mod, ran into a normal one (not elder) today as it was murdering a holy nation patrol right between stack and bad teeth, such an imposing an scary creature, I tried to go at him after he was done and injured, but he got too many lucky hits in, so I retreated and left him to eat the corpses, I don't mind if it slaughters more holy nation patrols lol.

Hello. Your mod is great! I used it in my maksimum kenshi mod set, I hope you won't mind. I will definitely indicate your mod in the list of used mods. Thank you in advance.

First time I've encountered one since I subbed to the mod last year (I don't really visit holy nation territory all that much, if i do I am just passing through Okran's gulf from fog lands, armour king or border zone.
However today I went to skinners roam from border zone and ran into a nest straight after I climbed over the cliffs near the ruins.

For anyone's information, the normal ones hit for 220~ raw damage (so no armor mitigation), the elders for 450 and they have a pretty decent chance to splash, even my 86 melee defense main character couldn't win as last man standing.
Truly need a proper gang (I only had 2 escorts traveling along with my main character).

Definitely a great additional end-game challenge, since if you can prep a good squad very end-game, you might be able to make it worthwhile due to the loot dropped.
I usually grow pretty attached to my characters so I don't like having even a single one die.

Excellent mod. I just wish you had removed the test start.

I'm guessing this mod is not needed when using UWE? Looks to already be added to that mod.

You need to work on your grammar and spelling skills. Reading your comments was very unpleasant.
