Azmeri Spirit

Tooltip

Azmeri Spirits are the spirits of various Azmeri Animal Guardians.
Azmeri Spirits appear as wisps that flee as you approach them. Normal or Magic Monsters the Spirit comes into contact with become Spirit-Influenced, making them more powerful.
Sometimes the Spirit will reach and Possess a Rare or Unique monster, making them substantially stronger and rewarding while occasionally summoning spiritual animals depending on the type of Animal Spirit they represent.
Possessed monsters are more rewarding depending on how many Spirit-Influenced monsters were defeated leading up to possession.

Azmerian wisps, and their associated Azmeri Spirits, are a type of encounter introduced in Dawn of the Hunt and first found in The Grelwood. They represent various Azmeri Animal Guardians and appears as a wisp of light that can be one of four varieties: Wild, Vivid, Primal, or Sacred.

They are somewhat similar to Path of Exile's Tormented Spirits.

Mechanics

Players can find a wisp being tracked by Delwyn, who will assist you in combat during the encounter. As you approach the wisp, it will flee, causing monsters it comes into contact to be Spirit-influenced with the X-Touched effect, granting specific buffs. The wisp moves faster the closer you are, and will slow down if you are too far away. If you remain too far away for a period of time, the wisp will explode in a burst of light and disappear.

The wisp will attempt to possess a rare or unique enemy in its path, granting it the Hunted by X effect which grants enhanced buffs to the monster and periodically summons spiritual animals to aid in combat. The monster will also have more rewarding drops, which also scale with the number of Spirit-influenced (X-touched) monsters killed along the way. Hunted monsters are the only way to obtain talismans.

Monsters can be spirit-influenced or possessed by multiple Azmeri spirits at once.

Wisp of the Spring Hare can appear at area level 33+ and Wisp of the Cunning Fox can appear at area level 66+.
