  • Drowning - the arena periodically fills up completely with bile, inflicting a stack of the Drowning debuff which slows you by 8% movement speed per stack, and at 10 stacks teleporting you to the underground area.

Strategy

  • When the Infinite Hunger drags you under (teleporting you to a very large area that gradually stacks an unlimited, permanent amount of Corrosive Hunger debuff while inside - each stack reducing 1% physical damage reduction and chance to evade attack per stack), follow the direction of the flowing goo to head to the portal back to the arena.
    • Standing on the islands will prevent you from taking damage; stepping into the ooze will inflict the Digestive Acid debuff which deals Physical and Chaos DOT, and reduces movement speed.

Drops

Drop rates are extrapolated from data on The Black Star with an average number of modifiers. Actual drop rates may vary.
