Notes
If an unlucky mortal gets lost in the swamps and meets his death there, often his soul is unable to find peace. It haunts the bogs as a wraith or ghost light in search of peace and salvation. Such hapless souls may be captured and cursed by evil witches or warlocks, thus transforming into tainted souls that aggressively and enviously attack everything they encounter. There are tales though that it is possible to redeem even these tainted souls.
They are souls tainted by the witch Ekatrix. They can be redeemed by using a Sacred Antler Talisman on them. The process of tainting and redeeming them is described in How to Curse a Soul.
You must redeem 100 of them to fight the boss Ekatrix in The Tainted Souls Quest.

Behaviour
Chases its target.
A tainted soul attacks in melee range. A tainted soul will retreat at 10 to 74 (4% - 29.6%, red) health.
Strategy
They yield no experience and very poor loot, so they aren't worth hunting unless if you want to complete its Bestiary entry. If you have a Sacred Antler Talisman, you can use it to redeem them.
