Sariel is likely to be found much later in the game, located in the Chamber of Becoming, southeast of The Silent Steps Beacon.

Sariel has modest health, and redirects some of his damage taken to Pain, which can be regained via melee attacks.

He also specializes in the Curse status effect, able to apply it for 30s on enemies, which makes The Iconoclast and Veteran's Battle Axe solid choices of melee weapon for him, along with the Caged Hystrix and Cursed Child for Sidearm.

“That path to perfection is paved with blood.”
