Dungeon Bosses

Description

Dungeon Bosses, not to be confused with Champ Spawn bosses, are a unique PvM feature of UO Forever. They can be found in several of the classic dungeon and each one has different mechanics and special rewards.

Altars

A few of the bosses are summoned by empowering Dungeon Altars with 50 crystals. These crystals have a chance to drop on creatures in the dungeon. To charge an altar with a crystal, double click the altar and target the crystal. You can also target your backpack or sub packs within your backpack and it will search for all valid crystals. The dungeon crystals will spawn on all mobs at death on a 5% chance. They will only spawn if a dungeon altar is placed in that specific dungeon region and will decay after 24 hours.

All dungeon altars have a chance to award a Meta Talisman relic. To be eligible for a chance at the relic, you must contribute crystals the altar. At the end of the boss fight, there is a 25% chance that someone who contributed will receive a relic straight to their bank. You do not need to be alive or in range of the boss/altar for this to happen. The more crystals you contribute, the greater chance you have to win the relic if it drops. If you contribute all 50, you will have that 25% chance of receiving a relic. If you contribute just one crystal, you will have a 0.5% chance.

Arch Demon

Arch Demon

• Dungeon: Wrong
• Summoned: By waiting! He will spawn in a small room in Wrong every 4-5 hours after he was last killed, along with three tentacles of the Harrower. The room can be accessed by teleporter in the North East corner of Wrong Level 1.
• Special Abilities:

1. Summoning Wards: This will summon a group of elemental wards that will attack players at intervals, these wards operate will target the persons who was closest to them for the longest amount of time. Lightning will occasionally strike the wards. If you are on top of a ward when this happens, you will be instantly killed. The four wards are:
   1. Fire ward: deals initial 10 damage and 2 damage ticks every second for 30ish seconds.
   2. Ice ward: deals initial 10 damage and freezes the player randomly for 30ish seconds.
   3. Lightning ward: deals 20 damage.
   4. Poison ward (watch out for this one): poisons a character with lethal poison and will reapply for 30 seconds, however every time a player cures the damage done is decreased by one poison level. ​
2. Demon Fire: This is the demon fire attack, it creates a slow moving fire that follows a player, and kills them instantly if it hits them. This attack works on line of sight. Break the line of sight by running to the other side of the room, or into one of the small rooms and it will stop following you. It only targets players who are more than one tile away from the boss. If you cross the path of someone else's demon fire, you will take around 15 damage.
3. Spewing Blood: This will fire an area of effect attack at a player, it will create a semi circle around the arch demon hitting everyone in the semi circle. Three waves of this attack are sent out, each dealing approximately 30 damage. This attack can be avoided by moving in and out of range of the boss. This will not guarantee that you will be avoid being damage but it limits the chance of getting hit. This attack only hits players more than 1 tile away. If you are very close when the attack is launched, all three waves of blood will hit you and you will be instantly killed.
4. Ominous Object: Begins summoning an ominous looking object. This is a slow moving area of effect attack that hits a small circle all around the Boss, it deals massive damage killing anyone it hits. This attack is easy to avoid simply stand more than 8 or 9 tiles away.

• Loot:
  • Meta Talismans Relic: Unlike the altar charged bosses, this has a chance to drop in your backpack rather than your bank. Watch out for thieves and player killers!
