Pyraxis, the Molten Lord

Boss

Fought on floors 80 and 90, in Act 5: The Molten Depths. Floor 90 is this act's climax fight.

Quiénes Eran

Un dios del fuego de un mundo cuyo nombre incluso él ha olvidado, lo más antiguo que ella ha devorado y que todavía se mueve por voluntad propia. La odia más de lo que tú la odias, y no te ayudará a quemarla, porque para Pyraxis un dios odiado sigue siendo su propio dios.

Mythic, cursed, and divine relics sit above legendary, the fusion ceiling, and drop only from boss and guardian kills: mythic from floor 50, cursed from floor 80, and divine from floor 90, but only on Infernal. Here, mythic and cursed relics can both drop from its floor 80 and 90 kills; a divine relic can drop from its floor 90 kill.

How to Prepare

  • You fight Pyraxis, the Molten Lord solo, and there is no rest heal before the encounter, so arrive with real HP in the bank and sustain already flowing: lifesteal earned in the fight itself, plus potions bought with gold beforehand.
  • An escort wave of the biome's regular enemies fights first. Only after they fall does Pyraxis, the Molten Lord step out alone for the closing wave, so keep enough HP and cooldowns in reserve for the real fight.
  • It can buff its own stats mid-fight, so the fight gets tougher the longer it drags on, not easier.
  • It can inflict Burning, damage that keeps ticking after the hit lands, so don't count only your burst; a dragged-out fight bleeds you too.
  • This fight tightens further on higher difficulties, especially Nightmare.
  • If you wipe, you restart at floor 1, but your permanent upgrades and talents carry over, so a loss here is a setback, not a full reset. Optional Hardcore mode also destroys your equipped gear on a wipe.
