Skills

The Eater of Worlds mostly deals lightning damage with its skills. Few of them have partial physical to lightning conversion (tentacles).

• Basic attack - tentacles are spawned under the player.
• Sphere Slam - "Hunger!" - glides 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 centre of the arena and begins to channel, while tracking the player with Doom Laser with a steadily growing AoE from above. Doom Laser applies a debuff that increases damage taken (Inescapable Doom). 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).
  • Ultimate Slam - If the player fails to activate all spheres in ~20 seconds, extreme lightning and cold damage is dealt to everything in the arena.

You are drowning and will die soon

A Drowning Orb.

• The moving Drowning Orbs in the arena inflict a debuff called "Drowning" on contact, which causes an action speed slow and automatically kills the player after 3 seconds if they do not move away in time. While facing away from Drowning Orbs, they will slowly float towards the character; when facing towards them, they will back up a fixed distance away.
• Avoid rolling the 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 to full Energy Shield if not actively taking damage for some time, or during immunity phases such as the Doom Phase. This mod will significantly increase the effective health of the boss and is not recommended for builds with low damage.
