Arcane Lineage Boss List

King Slime

While considered a mini-boss due to its relatively low threat level, the King Slime still presents a challenge for low-level players. Note that this boss does not award soul points.

King Slime Location

The King Slime spawns after 100 Slimes are defeated on the server. It will appear near the city closest to the last slain slime's location, with an announcement on the Quest Board confirming its arrival. The quest consists of two steps: Find the King Slime; Kill the King Slime. This quest has a 30-minute global server cooldown.

King Slime Fighting Strategy

This boss boasts 400 HP (600 HP if Corrupted), the lowest of any boss in *Arcane Lineage*. Its primary attack involves summoning additional Slimes, which can overwhelm players if not managed. AOE poison attacks are also employed, so potions and cleansing abilities are recommended. Its low health allows for a relatively straightforward battle. After eliminating the summoned Slimes, the King Slime can be quickly defeated.

King Slime Drops and Rewards

Potential drops from defeating the King Slime include: Random Tier 1 Equipment, Slime Buckler, Gelat Ring. Quest Board rewards for completing the King Slime event may include: Ferrus Skin, Potion, Small Health Potion, Essence, Gold.

Yar’thul, the Blazing Dragon

This fire-type boss utilizes fire and inferno-based attacks, inflicting Inferno and Burning status effects. Resistance to fire and physical damage, and weakness to Hex damage, are key considerations.

Yar’thul Location

Yar’thul resides deep within the Desert, at the heart of Mount Thul, an active volcano fueled by the dragon's immense heat. Navigating the volcano's dark corridors leads to the final encounter.

Yar’thul Fighting Strategy

This boss has 1200 HP (1800 HP if Corrupted) and deals significant damage with its numerous attacks, many inflicting Inferno and Burning. The battle is a race against time, requiring swift action to avoid being overwhelmed by the effects. Upon reaching 50% health, Yar’thul enters a second phase, summoning meteors that inflict stunning and healing reduction. The Dragon Ring and Pristine-level accessories are highly beneficial.

Yar’thul Drops and Rewards

Guaranteed rewards from defeating Yar’thul include: Absolute Radiance, Permafrost Curse, Wild Impulse, Heavenly Prayer, Breath of Fungyir, Narhana’s Sigil, Reality Watch, Shifting Hourglass, Ring of the Dragon, The Void Key (Corrupted Yar’thul).

Thorian, the Rotten

Once an animal in the Deeproot Canopy, Thorian is now a corrupted monstrosity that curses all who approach. Resistance to most elements, but significant weakness to Holy damage, defines its defenses.

Thorian Location

Thorian is found deep within the Cess Grounds, in the Deeproot Canopy. Heading right upon entering the Cess Grounds will eventually lead to its lair.

Thorian Fighting Strategy

Thorian has 2600 HP (3900 HP if Corrupted). A key mechanic involves its passive negation: attacking twice with the same type of attack heals it. Varied attack types are crucial. High resistance to all damage except Holy (135% damage) and slight weakness to fire (10% increase) are noteworthy. Below 50% health, it unleashes a devastating attack inflicting Plague, Curse, and Hexed (15-turn cooldown).

Thorian Drops and Rewards

Guaranteed rewards from defeating Thorian include: Absolute Radiance, Permafrost Curse, Wild Impulse, Heavenly Prayer, Breath of Fungyir, Stellian Core, Metrom’s Amulet, Darksigil Ring of Blight, The Void Key (Corrupted Thorian).

Metrom’s Vessel

Metrom’s Vessel, a raid boss, spawns on a global timer and requires a Void Key (obtained from corrupted bosses) for entry. A high-health, damage-negating boss requiring significant time and coordination to defeat.

Metrom’s Vessel Location

Metrom’s Vessel is a raid boss with a global spawn timer. A Void Key is required for entry, and a server-wide notification announces its location.

Metrom’s Vessel Fighting Strategy

This boss has 10,000 HP (15,000 HP if Corrupted). Two phases with differing mechanics and high damage output are present. The first phase involves destroying wings for damage negation, but fewer wings increase damage output. Shadeblades are summoned minions.
