he's on reapers coast. There is no way to go visit gratiana.
OP, you need to progress the main storyline. You'll get source vampirism just like you got spirit vision.
Also, the shrieker in that cave... You can teleport past and leave him there for eternity.

I have vampirism but it doesnt do anything vs them?

It does, you probably just have to get closer. Also, the way those Shriekers are set up, you have to kill the front two first, then go after the rear pair - leftmost first.

The hydrosophist ability "vampirism" or the ability "source vampirism"
They are vastly different.
One causes 50% lifesteal.
One drains 1sp from the target (including corpses) and kills shriekers. (may have to try get closer than what you currently are)

Oh you just have to get really close. I just used living on the edge + vampirism and killed it. Thx!

Derp. Thanks for the correction

Sneaking. You can also just run past them with a large enough party and use res scrolls.

[DedJim]

summon something have it take the hit while you vampire them

[Muted Kobold]

Oh the shriekers. You need to come back later man. Sounds like you're missing a very specific source ability.


Once you have it, you'll need to sneak close to actually be able to deal with them without getting blasted yourself, get behind em.

i feel like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥, i didnt know you could kill the shrikers untill i got half way through part 3

that one in the blackpits mine, i used a scoundrel to teleport past it across the wooden bridge to its side, then used a teleporter prism to move my team across, then i just waypointed out to leave the area

[Nafanua]

You don't have to kill any shriekers on that island, all of them are set up in a way that you can sidestep them somehow. Movement skills like tactical retreat, teleport, cloak and dagger etc. is a huge help.

(Also if you hold Shift you can see the sneak/vision cones without sneaking; also useful for dealing with the shriekers).

Have my assassin just sneak+cloak&dagger behind it out of his LoS, then SOurce Vampirise the hell out of it.

Rince & repeat...
