Eldritch Council is a Boss in Death's Gambit. Located in Journey's End, and one of the three holders of the Sigils of Caer Siorai.

The wind carries whispers of the Crimson Court, a secret society beneath Aldwynn run by Inquisitor Holdrem. All came to eventually know the prison spire as their journey's end.

Thoughts of betrayal threatened her seat as warden, and she swiftly snuffed the opposition from her council. They eventually returned, obedient and changed.

Strategy

• The Aura of Blood is extremely effective to fight against the build up of blood, if you can dodge the attacks from the Inquisitor and Caster.

Trivia

• The Inquisitor is implied to be called Jocasta Holdrem, from bits of Vrael's dialogue and an ambient lullaby found throughout the game.
