👹The Boss
The Boss is a group fight: nobody takes it down alone. /event announces its arrival, and it is fought in its dedicated warzone arena.
The phases
The Boss cycles through five states, and each one changes how you fight it.
| Phase | What happens |
|---|---|
| Spawn | The Boss materialises, damage does not count yet |
| Fight | The normal phase, it hits and it takes hits |
| Void Storm | A storm sweeps the arena |
| Black Hole | It pulls in everything around it |
| Collapse | The final phase, the most dangerous |
A boss bar shows its health and current phase to all participants.
Rewards
Ranking is on damage dealt. The top three receive:
| Rank | Legendary keys | Onyx ingots |
|---|---|---|
| 🥇 1st | 2 | 4 |
| 🥈 2nd | 1 | 3 |
| 🥉 3rd | 1 | 2 |
Four onyx ingots is 324 shards, plenty to build an onyx armour piece. The Boss is one of the rare shortcuts to pure onyx.
How to prepare
- Come as a group, with healing.
- Gem apples are especially useful during the hard phases.
- Since ranking rewards damage, a good sword counts for more than good armour. But dying takes you out of the ranking.
- Careful: you are in the warzone, and other factions may well decide to hit you rather than the Boss.
