Pharaoh Lich

Act boss · Desert (Rustbone Canyon)

Beta 0.7.2

The Pharaoh Lich is the act boss of Desert, at the end of stage 10 of act 4 on all three maps. The map screen and the achievements call it Canyon Titan.

Stats by map

It fights slightly above stage 10's level. To fight it you need a riftstone of the map you are on, which a win uses up.

Map	Level	HP	Damage per hit	Shields	Damage by phase	Riftstone
Veil	14	650	100 Physical	None	×1	Rare
Breach	47.33	559,554	8,365 Physical	3 × 18% of HP	×1 / ×1.07 / ×1.14 / ×1.22	Mythic
Abyss	80.67	5.81M	34,617 Physical	3 × 25% of HP	×1 / ×1.1 / ×1.2 / ×1.3	Eternal

From level 15 its HP and damage ramp up, and it gains three shields that trigger at 75%, 50% and 25% HP; each phase after a shield hits harder, by the multipliers shown. Each level a hero is below it, past the first 3, multiplies its damage to that hero by 40 (see level difference).

Why no gold or XP?

The client also computes gold and XP values for bosses, but no code was found that pays them out, so they are not listed. A boss's reward is its chest.
