How to beat: Nightwraith
Nightwraiths are strongest at night, when the moon is up, and weakest during the day, so time the fight if you can. Force them into a corporeal form with Yrden or a Moon Dust bomb, then attack with a silver sword coated in specter oil. When weakened, a nightwraith splits into three copies that drain life; destroy them quickly with bombs or crossbow bolts, or lure them into a Dimeritium bomb cloud, where they dissolve at once. Destroying the copies forces the real wraith to reveal itself.
About
Nightwraiths are specters of the countryside that roam fields and meadows by moonlight, appearing as pale, withered women in tattered dresses. They draw power from the moon and are weaker during the day, although they can appear then too. For most of a fight they stay immaterial and turn solid only when striking, and when weakened they create projections that drain their victim's vital energy.
Loot
Possible drops – not every kill yields all of them.
