Boss Mechanics

• Wither Aura: Periodically unleashes a massive wave of cold damage affecting everything within 4 tiles.
• Necromantic Arsenal: The boss utilizes advanced Necromancy and Magery AI, frequently casting Blood Oath to reflect melee damage.
• Summon Minions: At 50% and 25% health, the Revenant calls forth waves of Rotting Corpses to swarm attackers.

Loot & Drops

In addition to standard SuperBoss loot and 5,000-8,000 Gold, Mondain's Revenant drops:

• 1-2 Mythic Cores (100% chance)
• 110-120 PowerScroll (10% chance)
• Random Doom Artifact (5% chance)
• Mondain's Shattered Skull (5% chance) - A unique custom Talisman granting SDI 10%, LMC 5%, FCR 1, and +10 Magery/Necromancy. When double-clicked, it whispers a dark quote from Mondain.
