Geists are one of the units that make up the troops of the Dread.

Overview

Like other Dread, Geists were created by the Witness using the Light of the Traveler in combination with its own resonant Darkness. In one instance, a Geist was created from a Fallen, specifically from the House of Salvation, where their bodies are reshaped into the Husk itself while their minds are seemingly manifested as the Geist within.

Gameplay

If a Husk isn't killed with a shot to the weak point in its chest, a Geist will emerge from its stomach and quickly fly to the nearest player character. If the Geist isn't destroyed before getting close enough, it will explode and deal great damage to Guardians. However, if a Geist is killed near other enemies, its explosion can damage them as well as detonate other nearby Geists.

If a Husk is properly dispatched, the Geist can be seen floating out of the Husk's corpse before quickly disintegrates afterwards.

Trivia

• The Geists are similar to Hive Worms in both their appearance and how they reside in the stomachs of Husks similar to the Worms' relationship to the Hive.
• The word "geist" is German for spirit, mind or ghost.
