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.

Rewards

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 small 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.

Encounters

The following details were provided by lore master Adam and bold dungeon hunter Ariakan.

Fafnir

• Dungeon: Destard
• Summoned: By empowering the altar which is at the North West corner of Destard Level 1. It is filled with red crystals from the monsters in that dungeon.
• Special Abilities:

1. Flame Spew: A 180° frontal flame breath attack. Leaves flames on the ground that last for 1 minute. Each flame will tick for 5 damage per second you stand on it. Casting wall of stone can block the attack (if you cast it fast enough after the emote). Fafnir will emote *Flames begint to spew from Fafnir's mouth* prior to casting this ability.
2. Crucible: An instant death spell. It impacts all creatures and players in a 12 tile radius. It has a very long cast time. About 10 seconds from the time he emotes. This should be plenty of time to get you and your pets out of the ability. Each player or pet that is caught in the crucible will die and spawn a magma elemental. Fafnir will emote *Begins casting Crucible* when he used the ability.
3. Wing Vacuum: Fafnir flaps his wings, creating a vacuum which will draw all creatures and players in a 10 tile radius towards him. This ability will dismount you, stun you and drag you closer to Fafnir every second. It ticks for 10 seconds, with each second drawing you closer and damaging you. Fafnir will emote *Begins flapping its wings to draw its prey in closer* when he used this ability.
