Cloaked Saurian Sage (Chamber of Hesitation)
Saurian Sage is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma.
Overview
Saurian Sages in the Chamber of Hesitation
Ten Saurian Sages spawn in the Chamber of Hesitation every five days.
Saurian Sages (also known as Snowy Saurians) are white Saurians with the ability to cast holy magick. They use a spear for physical attacks and to incant spells.
They are fond of the cloak and counter tactics Sulfur Saurians employ, and often use their white scales to camouflage themselves into the terrain around them. Like other Saurians they rest attached to walls, dropping from above in ambush if approached.
Saurian Sages are considerably more durable than their lesser brethren, and have a great stagger resistance even when casting spells. They are weak to Dark based attacks and resistant to Holy.

- Weak against Dark enchanted weapons and spells
- Vulnerable to Silence.
- Can be Petrified.
- Vulnerable to Torpor and Poison.
