| Description | |||||
| A terrifying vampiric figure of power, with flowing robes and an intense aura of fright.
His cold, sinewy flesh seems to cling to this world through greed and malice and his eyes betray a strength of mind beyond any puny mortal. All nearby are utterly subservient to his will though he stands aloof from them, as if to say he needs not the pathetic meddling of minions to help him overcome his foes. Your eyes are drawn to a dark staff in his hands which seems to suck the very life from the air around it. It looks ancient and dangerous and terrible, and the sight of it fills you with fervent desire. | |||||

The Guardian of Dreadfell. The Master is one of the games most challenging bosses. In addition to the talents shown above, The Master will resurrect himself precisely once. Defeating The Master grants the Vampire Crusher achievement, and causes new store inventories to be generated everywhere.
One useful strategy is to use an ability or item that can damage his mana, which causes him to deactivate his main sustained abilities, which are extremely powerful if left unchecked. And should also slow down his casting, though note even at 0 mana he will still cast powerful spells due to his Hidden Resources prodigy, which allows him to ignore resource costs for several turns. Best to knock out his sustains then kill him as quickly as possible before he summon too many hordes of Undead to overwhelm you.
