Common foe

Drowned Grasp

Drowned Grasp portrait

The clutching hands of everyone the cellar has already claimed, breaking the surface to drag the next one down — it grabs your legs, waterlogs you, and hauls you off your feet. What the water took it keeps — sealed omens gutter and drown in its grip (Omen Eater 7).

Absorbs incoming damage. Resets at the start of its turn.
💪 Wrath
Adds its value to every attack it makes. Lasts the whole fight.
🌘 Omen
Seals add together; the total strikes at the start of your next turn, then fades. It ignores the enemy's Guard.
