⚔️ The Final Battle: Malathor the Primeval

Upon double-clicking the Infernal Chrysalis in a non-guarded, wilderness area, the chrysalis will shatter and spawn Malathor the Primeval, a Mythic Balron boss.

⚙️ 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.
