Unto the Realms, and any who would seek the destruction of Bedlam,

This is the second missive and second part of a field guide to fighting Bedlam.

Corrections and further information are always welcome. I expect some of this information to be out of date as new types of bois, and new weaknesses are discovered.

I have tried to note unconfirmed material in Italics, but until recently seer magic about bedlam was very difficult, such much of this remains truly unconfirmed. This is not a complete guide. If you have encountered a Bois, not listed here, please get in touch with me, and tell me everything you know about it.

With that said, many of these bois have been seen and defeated on the field, and this guide will try to show you how to do it.


^^^ Universal Weaknesses (may be overridden by powerful Bois)
  • Silver Weapons
    Silver weapons have been effective against some Bois, at some times. Silver as a pure metal seems to have a countering effect against Bedlam. Silver was one of the ways that Bedlam was originally sealed away
  • Weapons of Light
    Weapons of Light are considered 'Armor-Piercing' against Bedlam Bois
  • Boisbane
    BoisBane is considered Armor-Piercing-Poison' Against Bedlam Bois.
  • Northern Light Blades
  • Wayland Blades



    ^^^Common Bois
  • Normal Bois
    Appearance:
    Inky blackness in a vaguely humanoid shape.
    Special Immunities:
    None
    Special Weaknesses:
    None
    Special Abilities:
    'Posses Corpse'
    Some Bois have the ability to possess a body and animate it to fight for them. If this happens, attack it. It will be very hard to kill, but it is possible. Killing the newly animated body seems to leave no lingering taint of Bedlam.
    Notes:
    None
  • Black Walkers
    Appearance:
    Bright Green Teeth and White Eyebrows
    Special Immunities:
    Normal Weapons
    Special Weaknesses:
    Surround it with 'Light' spells to effect it.
    Special Abilities:
    Swings 'Black Sickness'
    Notes:
    Those affected with Black Sickness (either via a Blackwalker or from having a Black Spot in their spellbook) can have it cured only after it has manifested in them at least once. As soon as it has, a cure can be obtained by going to a priest or priestess of a god you follow or believe in and atoning to cleanse your soul. This is a difficult process and requires many months to complete.
  • Soul Leech
    Appearance:
    Circular Maw with White Pointed Teeth, White Eyebrows
    Special Immunities:
    Normal Weapons
    Special Weaknesses:
    'Soul Channel'
    -You must strike with a silver weapon while having Hematite directly touching either the weapon or your body.
    -Use only one piece of Hematite at a time.
    -Once a piece of hematite contains a soul, you must swap out for a new one.
    -The hematite can be cleansed with a Call the Soul or by letting it drain over the course of one lunar cycle.
    Special Abilities:
    Unknown
    Notes:
    None



    ^^^ Uncommon Bois
  • Serpens Postremo
    Appearance:
    Large Serpent that appears to ride the wind
    Special Immunities:
    Unknown
    Special Weaknesses:
    Unknown
    Special Abilities:
    Unknown
    Notes:
    This is not a Bois in the conventional way. It is more a promise of Bois to come. The arrival of a Serpens Postremo virtually guarantees a large infestation of Bois.
  • Skinwalkers 'Eaters of Memory'
    Appearance:
    Normal Person until it manifests, then looks like a Bois
    Special Immunities:
    Unknown
    Special Weaknesses:
    Unknown
    Special Abilities:
    -'Darkness Consumes'
    Can destroy an item or creature completely, possibly sending it to Bedlam.
    -Consumes the memories and thoughts of its host.
    Notes:
    People who have become Skinwalkers generally do not know that they are until it suddenly manifests in them and they become a Bois. The trigger for manifestation is unknown.
  • Vox Dominus
    Appearance:
    Large Purple 'Brain'
    Special Immunities:
    None
    Special Weaknesses:
    None
    Special Abilities:
    'Dominate Others'
    This Bois can cause adventures to attack each other. How it does this and who it effects is not very well understood. Those affected seem to all share black sickness, but others have also been affected.
    Notes:
    Intelligent
  • Vox Cantus
    Appearance:
    Always appears standing inside a blob of Bedlam.
    Surrounded by white 'mist'
    Special Immunities:
    None

    Remove from Bedlam, and surround with Light
    Special Abilities:
    Regeneration while inside Bedlam.
    'Black Song'
    While the Vox Cantus is on the field Bedlam is strengthened in some way. [More information needed]
    Notes:
    None



    ^^^ Rare & Unique Bois
    It should be noted that all the following Bois listed are extremely powerful and ludicrously dangerous. Nearly all are intelligent and will use tactics to gain the upper hand.

    Sometimes retreat is the best option.

    -ZulaBois is ONLY effected by the Light Gun, then 'Surrounded with light' by wielded light spells

    Normal Weapons
    Special Weaknesses:
    Unknown
    Special Abilities:

    Notes:
    -I have very limited information on the TemorseBois. I would hope the same tactics used on ZulaBois would be effective against TemorseBois, but that remains unconfirmed.
