Tips

• The moving orbs in the arena inflict a debuff called "Drowning," with a 3-second timer when touched. Failing to move away from the orb to remove the debuff causes death after 3 seconds. The orbs move towards the player while the character is facing away, and move away if facing towards the orbs.

• Avoid to roll Buffered - 13% increased Quantity of Items found in this Area, 8% increased Rarity of Items found in this Area, Monsters gain (40-49)% of Maximum Life as Extra Maximum Energy Shield (Prefix) invitation mod, as the boss will recharge full ES once the played died. It is a free mod only for chaos damage build

Attacks and Spells

• Basic attack - tentacles are spawned under the player.
• Sphere Slam - "Hunger!" - teleports to the player's location and channels a large sphere around itself for ~2 seconds, before delivering a slam around itself. The boss often repeats the spell one more time. Very high damage.
• Tentacles Slam - "Writhing mass!" - after a delay, summons a set of tentacles that slam in a direction. Medium damage.
• Lightning Beam - "Perish!" - channels for ~1 second, then fires a Shocking beam. Somewhat easily sidestepped. High damage.
• Doom Phase - "Inescapable doom!" - the boss teleports to the center of the arena and begins to channel, while tracking the player with a beam with a steadily growing AoE from above. Purple spheres are spawned around the arena by Maven. The player has to stand in the circle around each sphere for a few moments to activate them (the sphere begins to glow distinctly). If the player fails to activate all spheres in ~20 seconds, extreme damage is dealt to everything in the arena.
