How to go past shriekers in Blackpits?

[Nonomori]

So I sold the purging wand on first island and now I don't have that skill anymore. Is there a way to obtain that skill on Reaper's Coast somewhere or Im screwed?

The ones in the mine? You can jump / teleport to the right of them and since they have vision only to the front you can sneak behind and drain them with your ability. If you are talking about the ones infront of the house there is also a way to get to them from the left and do the deed. I believe the ability was called "Source Vampirism" or something.

you have purge as a god power ... vampiric drain
at least you should by then

Ah, I don't have that skill yet. Guess you get it along the storyline? I went to do all the side quests first and explore LOL.

Once you learn Source Vampirism in act 2 (part of the main story) shriekers can be easily dealt with albeit its range is shorter, you need to get closer to them (Sneak/Invisbility). You can also evade them with invisbility or by jumping past them with a movemnt skill (ie Tactical Retreat, Cloak and Dagger).

You can jump south from the path and get around it (there is only one), and you can even still get the waypoint as it doesn't kill you when you walk behind it

If you enter stealth, you can get perfect information of the Shrieker's area of influence and simply avoid it.

In the future, don't sell unique items like purging wands. There are plenty of items like that that warrant holding on to throughout the game, and the couple hundred gold you made in act 1 by selling it isn't going to matter in the long run.

Even if you don't have the ability you can still avoid them if you use the paths next to them. If i remember correctly you should have at least 2 or 3 pyramids that you can throw pretty much anywhere and teleport to the one that you threw.

You've got movement abilities like Chameleon Cloak, Teleportation, and Spread Your Wings, items such as the Pyramids. and the Godwoken ability Source Vampirism at your disposal.

Do with them what you will. You've got a number of options.
