Slagmaw

This boss's marks deal a fixed amount set for its level (48), in place of the blow multiples below: a move you could dodge 599 damage, a hazard 524 damage, its signature failed 823 damage, burning ground 180 damage a second. More levels and better gear mean more health, so the same hit takes a smaller part of it. Armour, shields and barriers turn aside at most 20% of it.

A 90° cone at the one holding it, 6 tiles long, 1.6 s ahead (alone 2 s). The party's tank takes 3 × a normal blow; anyone else in it 599 damage. It leaves 2 pools of burning slag (8 s).

When5 s into the fight, then every 9 s.

EnragedEvery 7.5 s.

TipThe tank turns the spew away from the others and lays its slag at the hall's edge, never by the bellows.

Circles 1.8 tiles round under 1/2/3 of the others (alone: you), 1.8 s ahead: 599 damage, and a pool of slag burning 6 s.

When7 s into the fight, then every 12 s.

EnragedEvery 10 s.

TipStep out of the circle, and out of the pool it leaves.

It coils and rolls down a lane 2.3 tiles wide and up to 11.3 tiles long at the one farthest from it, 1.6 s ahead: 599 damage; 3 pools of slag along it.

WhenFrom 50%, every 16 s.

EnragedEvery 13 s.

TipFar from it, watch for the lane: sidestep it.

It crawls into the casting furnace and gorges for 10 s, healing 1.5% of its health a second. The two bellows' pedals breathe in turn, one every 1 s (9 breaths): someone on the lit pedal as it breathes is a stroke (4/6/7 strokes). Enough and the furnace scalds it out: stunned 5 s, +35% from every blow for 10 s. Too few and it bursts out gorged: the Slag Torrent sweeps the whole hall. Alone: 1 pedal, a breath every 1.5 s in 12 s (8 breaths).

WhenAt 75%, 50%, 25% of its health.

TipTwo run to the pedals, west and east; the tank takes the Slag Spawn off them; the healer tops everyone up before the gorge can end.

It flushes red and rages: its normal blows come 1.3× as often, and all its blows are 15% harder.

WhenAt 20% of its health; it lasts to the end of the fight.

TipThe last part is the most dangerous: save your strong skills and potions for it, and dodging the marks matters more than ever.
