The Hollow Mage is a Hollow enemy in Enshrouded, found in the Springlands, Revelwood, the Nomad Highlands, the Kindlewastes, the Albaneve Summits and the Veilwater Basin. A Hollow mage found across Embervale in various crypts, tombs, and temples, and found in numbers inside Hollow Halls. Hollow Mages utilize a frost bolt attack with a long, noticeable charge time. They also have the ability to summon skeletal floating skulls that launch ranged attacks at you. It is weak to blunt damage.
Where to Find the Hollow Mage
Hollow Mages gather in crypts, tombs and temples all across Embervale. The largest numbers wait inside the Hollow Halls, where they back up packs of skeleton warriors. Out in the world they turn up in every region from the Springlands to the Veilwater Basin. Abandoned villages, spooky tombs, cave passages and Shroud Roots are common places to meet them. Some rise from glowing bone piles that keep raising new Hollow until they are destroyed.

How to Fight the Hollow Mage
The Hollow Mage fires a frost bolt after a long charge that is easy to see. Dodging just as the charge ends avoids the bolt. It also raises floating skulls that shoot at the player from a distance. Killing the mage quickly stops more skulls from appearing, so it should fall before the warriors around it. Blunt weapons deal half again as much damage to it. Poison, Shroud and ice damage only do half, so frost spells are a poor choice.

Lore
The Hollow Mage is a skeletal spellcaster of the Hollow, the cursed underclass the Flame cast out long ago. Some players also call it a skeleton mage or a Hollow Wizard. Its magic has outlived its body, and it still calls on frost and raises floating skulls to fight. Like every Hollow, it is fated to walk Embervale in undeath. Most of its kind were sealed away in the Hollow Halls, the ancient crypts of banishment.
