Cursed Returners are invincible
Unlike most battles in Divinity: Original Sin 2Brute force combat strategies fail against the Cursed Revenants.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 – How to get to Bloodmoon Island
Reaching Blood Moon Island in Divinity: Original Sin 2 depends on your mastery of the Source. Here's how to get to this eerie and mysterious island.
If you pay attention to the battlefield, you will notice that both the Cursed Revenants and their resurrection portals –the hellish egos– position themselves on necrofire surfaces. Removing the Necrofire prevents the Infernal Egos and therefore the Cursed Revenants from appearing. However, that is easier said than done, since necrofire, unlike normal fire, is immune to hydrosophic spells such as rain.
How to remove Necrofire in Divinity: Original Sin 2
Divinity: Original Sin 2 offers various tools to help players deal with necrofire, but some strategies are better than others. Below is a list of strategies to deal with or eliminate Necrofire, ranked from least to most effective:
- Remove the curse: Because it is a cursed element, Necrofire is immune to standard Hydro spells. However, certain spells such as Blessing and Rain of Blood can remove the cursed status. Turn necro fire into normal fire. Once transformed, you can use a standard hydro spell like Rain or simply drop a barrel of water nearby to extinguish the flames.
- Use Tornado: The Tornado spell is arguably the most effective terrain clearing tool in the game. Casting Tornado removes a significant portion of the Necrofire. Restricting the areas where revenants can respawn. However, Tornado has a long cooldown, making it less reliable for consecutive uses.
- Transmute the terrain: The Terrain Transmutation spell, while not as efficient as Tornado, allows you to swap parts of the terrain. This can be used to replace necrofire with normal terrain, removing large portions of it for the infernal egos to reposition.
- Teleport: Since the Cursed Revenants and Infernal Egos rely on necrofire, another effective strategy is to teleport them away from the cursed surface before killing them. If the Infernal Ego cannot achieve Necrofire in a single turn, it will be destroyed.
Killing a cursed revenant on a blessed surface, such as blessed water, prevents the infernal ego from appearing. Additionally, casting healing spells such as Restoration and First Aid will deal direct damage to these revenants.
