Aural Decoy

serious sorcerers, but it has a surprising
amount of applications, some of them
extremely effective.

Availability

Notes

• Though Aural Decory works on more enemy types than the Alluring Skull, it often fails to work on larger groups of enemies that are normally distract-able with it (only catching the attention of a select few). The Alluring Skull works more consistently on large groups, and is therefore recommended for the enemies that it works on.

The following lists enemies that can be distracted by Aural Decoy and those that are immune. A '+' denotes enemies that can also be distracted with Alluring Skull. All Enemies listed have been tested for both. Enemies not listed have not been tested for either.
