Brother mechanics
Ahrim the Blighted
Ahrim the Blighted attacks with magic. He can freeze you with Ice Rush, cast weakening curses, and punish players who are not protecting from magic.
Kill timing
Defeating one brother does not permanently remove him while the others are still alive. Defeated brothers begin recovering, and the remaining brothers are healed slightly when one of them falls. The practical goal is to lower several brothers, then finish all six close together before the defeated ones restore.
Encounter rules
- All six brothers spawn after a short delay.
- The arena is multiway, so multiple brothers can attack you at the same time.
- Once you have entered the encounter, teleporting out is blocked until the fight is completed.
- The encounter is completed only after all six brothers are down together.
