Mechanics

Death and Taxes is reminiscent of a raid boss in classic MMORPGs.[1] The map is initially empty. Players must run past three orange portals, which are surrounded by elemental effects similar to those of certain Shrines, to the end of the map where a final fourth orange portal can be found. Upon reaching the end, the boss is activated and blue portals throughout the map will spawn hostile animated weapons.

The map has no native monsters other than the boss, which has 4 forms, though portals will spawn animated weapons after the boss has been engaged. Once each form is killed, the boss will enter an "in-between stage", becoming immune to damage until it is lured to the next orange portal. Players need to kill every form to complete the map. Each form will drop loot.

Animated weapons

Once the first portal is activated, these are spawned continuously until the last boss's form is dead. Caveat: animated weapons can't be hit with Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Spark". Please choose only one of the following ids:
FireTailSpark - Base duration is 2.00 seconds, Deals 6 to 9 Fire Damage, Fires Projectiles in a circle, 25% increased Projectile Speed, Fires 8 additional Projectiles (page)
SanctumMiniFlamenado - Base duration is 3.00 seconds, Deals 1 to 1 Fire Damage, 60% reduced Projectile Speed, Fires 10 additional Projectiles (page)
. Spark is ground projectile, and animated weapons are flying.

Avatar of Ash

Once the first portal is activated, Avatar of Ash will spawn, which uses Flameblast, Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Summon Raging Spirit". Please choose only one of the following ids:
SummonRagingSpiritRoyale - Maximum 10 Summoned Raging Spirits, Base duration is 4.00 seconds, Minions deal 20% less Damage, Minions cannot Taunt Enemies (page)
AshwakerSummonRagingSpiritOnKill - Maximum 20 Summoned Raging Spirits, Base duration is 5.00 seconds, 25% chance to Trigger this Spell on Kill, Minions deal 18% more Damage, Minions cannot Taunt Enemies (page)
and Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Fireball". Please choose only one of the following ids:
MonsterFireball - Deals (10-1810) to (15-2808) Fire Damage, Base radius is 0.9 metres (page)
MonsterFireballContactPos - Deals (10-1810) to (15-2808) Fire Damage, Base radius is 0.9 metres (page)
supported by Lesser Multiple Projectiles. Flameblast is by far the most dangerous of these, especially since all of the action tends to make the expanding circle difficult to see until it is too late, especially in the presence of stun and desync. You need to pre-emptively move every few seconds in order not to get hit.

Avatar of Winter

Upon reaching the next portal, the boss will take form of Avatar of Winter, which uses a huge AoE Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Ice Nova". Please choose only one of the following ids:
BeyondDemonBlindNova - Blind enemies on hit, Base radius is 2.6 metres (page)
TormentDaemonBlindNova - Blind enemies on hit, Base radius is 2.6 metres (page)
, long range Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Glacial Cascade". Please choose only one of the following ids:

MineBatAbyssVomitCascade - Deals (1-53) to (2-82) Physical Damage, Deals (3-98) to (4-150) Cold Damage, Causes +5 Bursts (page)
and spawns ice versions of Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Firestorm". Please choose only one of the following ids:
KaomWarriorFireStorm - Base duration is (1.20-1.50) seconds, Deals (2-243) to (3-365) Fire Damage, 25% chance to Ignite enemies, One impact every (0.15-0.12) seconds, Base radius is 1 metre (page)
ProphecyFireStorm - Base duration is (1.20-1.50) seconds, Deals (2-84) to (3-126) Fire Damage, 25% chance to Ignite enemies, One impact every (0.12-0.10) seconds, Base radius is 1 metre (page)
.

Avatar of Silence

Upon reaching the next portal, the boss takes form of Avatar of Silence, which casts Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Shock Nova". Please choose only one of the following ids:
ShrineShockNovaPlayer - Deals (1-56) to (15-1066) Lightning Damage, Base duration is 4.00 seconds (page)

BeyondDemonFlameCallOnHit - Base duration is (2.00-1.50) seconds, Deals (7-1259) to (11-1889) Fire Damage (page)
StrMissionStormCall1 - Base duration is (2.50-1.75) seconds, Deals (9-1183) to (13-1775) Fire Damage, (75-50)% reduced Cast Speed, 75% chance to Ignite enemies (page)
. As with Avatar of Ash's Flameblasts, it is unwise to stand still; while one Storm Call hit probably won't kill you, an entire salvo may do so.

Avatar of Apocalypse

Upon entering the final portal, Avatar of Apocalypse spawns, which uses all previous spells combined. This is the boss' final form; Avatar of Apocalypse will not respawn once killed.

Version history

Version Changes
3.1.0
  • Added 32 new maps including two new Unique maps.
  • The entire Atlas has been reworked. Many map names have changed, as have their balance, tier and position on the Atlas. Many maps have also had their boss fights swapped or completely reworked.
  • The rules used to generate monsters in endgame maps have been significantly reworked and rebalanced around the rate at which we expect players to reliably clear out the map. In general, narrow, linear maps will contain fewer total monsters than maps with complex layouts. We will be closely monitoring and adjusting the balance of this change and expect to make further changes and improvements over time.
3.0.1b
  • Reduced the damage of the boss of the Death and Taxes unique map.
2.2.2
  • The Death and Taxes unique map can no longer spawn Perandus Chests or Cadiro, as they were capable of spawning on areas the boss needed to go to in order for the map to be completed.
1.1.4
  • Introduced to the game.
