Behavior

Follows players, periodically stopping in place to fire one of three attacks at random:

  • Fires a barrage of fire missiles along the cardinal and diagonal directions.
  • Throws out a large number of Fire Bombs, which explode into rings of massively damaging shots after a delay.
  • A variant of the Fire Bomb phase that also Armors the Archmage and fires a sporadic barrage of armor piercing flame bursts in all directions.

The Accursed variant behaves more aggressively, but otherwise acts the same. When killed, it will turn into a cursed grave that will resurrect it after a period of time.

Tips and Strategies

All Classes:
While the mage is using his barrage attack, it is safe to approach and damage him. Always try to position yourself between his shots, as his firing pattern never changes and he will be completely unable to damage you.

If the mage uses his bomb attack, as indicated by a brief glow, back away, and wait for the bombs to explode. The bombs themselves cannot be damaged, and will inflict incredibly high damage to nearby players. NEVER allow yourself to be caught in the center of the bomb cluster, or walk over an exploding bomb - this will instantly kill any non-melee classes.
