Layout[]

Map is split into three regions.

  • An outdoor starting area populated only with Wolves (The boss arena can be seen from the cliff edge).
  • A long otherwise linear cavern with a "ring shaped" passage somewhere along its length (This ring passage tends to be near the beginning or the end of the cavern).
  • An outdoor pond area, which contains a few monster packs as well as the boss.

Encounters[]

Boss[]

Lycius, Midnight's Howl (Based on Rigwald, the Wolven King)

  • Spectral Throw
  • Channels, sending out several waves of Wolf Spirit projectiles (Despite appearance, this is as an attack not a spell)
  • Summon Wolves
  • Transform into a Wolf, becoming damage immune and causing bleeding with attacks (Minions/Totems/Mimics do not pull any aggro while boss is in wolf form. He will only go for the main character until he turns back into human form.)

He does not teleport around the arena, nor does the arena have hazards as with the standard Rigwald encounter.

Version history[]

Version Changes
3.5.0
  • The Atlas of Worlds has been shuffled. Most maps have changed tier and location within the Atlas.
  • Many map bosses have also shifted around. Some have been retired and replaced!
3.1.0
  • Added 32 new maps including two new Unique maps.
  • The entire Atlas has been reworked. Many map names have changed, as have their balance, tier and position on the Atlas. Many maps have also had their boss fights swapped or completely reworked.
  • The rules used to generate monsters in endgame maps have been significantly reworked and rebalanced around the rate at which we expect players to reliably clear out the map. In general, narrow, linear maps will contain fewer total monsters than maps with complex layouts. We will be closely monitoring and adjusting the balance of this change and expect to make further changes and improvements over time.
2.4.0
  • We've added thirty new maps and dozens of new map bosses.
