Moraxis, the Ashfen Revenant

Boss

Fought on floors 40 and 50, in Act 3: The Ashfen Mire. Floor 50 is this act's climax fight.

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, a mythic relic can drop from its floor 50 kill.

How to Prepare

  • You fight Moraxis, the Ashfen Revenant 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 Moraxis, the Ashfen Revenant step out alone for the closing wave, so keep enough HP and cooldowns in reserve for the real fight.
  • Its kit includes a heal. It fights its own wave alone, so that heal restores its own HP: bring enough sustained damage to outpace it, not just one big burst.
  • It can stun you, skipping one of your turns outright, so don't fight this one on a razor-thin HP margin.
  • It can inflict Poisoned, damage that keeps ticking after the hit lands, so don't count only your burst; a dragged-out fight bleeds you too.
  • It carries a ramping enrage from its very first turn: the longer the fight runs, the more true damage it drains from you every turn, so do not stall.
  • Its Void Aegis caps every single hit you land to 12% of its own max HP, so no single burst can delete it early. Expect a longer fight than your raw damage numbers suggest.
  • 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.
