⚙️ Mechanics
- Abyssal Cleave: Periodically winds up a massive area-of-effect melee strike hitting everything within 2 tiles.
- Hellfire Aura: A persistent burning aura that constantly damages players and pets in melee range.
- Primeval Rage: At 20% health, Malathor enters a frenzy, significantly increasing his attack speed and damage.
💎 Drops
In addition to standard SuperBoss loot and 2,500-4,000 Gold, Malathor drops:
- Random Doom Artifact (5% chance)
- A PowerScroll roll (10% chance) — intended as a 110-120 tier scroll, but a current shard bug in the drop code makes it come out as a 100-value scroll instead
Known bugs: the "guaranteed" Mythic Core drop and the 2% Mythic Pet Dye drop are both currently broken by a code error (a bad namespace lookup) and don't actually drop at all, despite being intended. Don't count on either until this is fixed shard-side.
