**Archdemon Malphas** is the boss of the [Abyss of Demons](/wiki/abyss-of-demons). He is located in a large room with lava and can be found by navigating the Abyss. He himself is not too hard, but high defense is advised as his minions can really hurt. {{template-realm-eye-lore | response=Malphas was once a gifted stonemason in the angelic realms beyond the mortal plane.
Banished for imbuing his work with impure charms, he fell from grace and was left tattered in the realm's volcanic mountains.
Malphas put his talent to use by constructing a den of pyroclastic stone passages in the deepest fissures. }} ###Contents - [Stats](#stats) - [Combat](#combat) - [Drops](#drops) - [Tips](#tips) ### Stats {#stats} HP: 12,000 (+20% [2,400 HP] per player in Dungeon) DEF: 20 EXP: 2,000 Location: [Abyss of Demons](/wiki/abyss-of-demons) Counts toward God Kills

####Behavior 6 [White Demons](/wiki/white-demon) appear in the room with Malphas (not summons) before the fight begins. It is advised for clearing, or killing these guys before you start the fight unless you think you can take down Malphas quickly. Malphas cycles through attack stages in order. During combat, he periodically goes invulnerable and maintains 4 [protectors](/wiki/malphas-protector) that orbit him rapidly throughout all his stages while shooting at players. ###Battle Phases: ####Phase 1: Malphas is medium in size and rapidly summons [Malphas Missiles](/wiki/malphas-missile), enemies that chase you down and attempt to explode on top of you. Along with this, he will fire aimed White Bullets at players that inflict Armor-Piercing damage. He will follow players in this phase, but will stop chasing once he moves within about 2 squares of them. ####Phase 2: Malphas shrinks down and becomes more difficult to hit. He moves quickly and erratically while firing 6-directional bursts of Silver Shields that weaken and aimed, armor-piercing White Bullets at the nearest player. ####Phase 3: Malphas grows in size and wanders in place while firing 3-directional bursts of more powerful Silver Shields that also weaken. He also fires extremely damaging White Bullets at the nearest player in 2-round bursts. ####Phase 4: Malphas is medium in size and summons a number of [Malphas Flamers](/wiki/malphas-flamer), Abyss versions of Flamer Kings that will attack with streams of shots. He will spawn 4 from golden bombs thrown around him and much more directly from him. During this phase, he will occasionally attack with aimed armor-piercing shots. The Flamers despawn before his next stage begins. The cycle then repeats. ####Reproduction Spawns: [![Malphas Protector](//dl.dropbox.com/u/52918745/Enemies/Malphas%20Protector.png "Malphas Protector") Malphas Protector](/wiki/malphas-protector) [![Malphas Missle](//dl.dropbox.com/u/52918745/Enemies/Malphas%20Missile.png "Malphas Missile") Malphas Missile](/wiki/malphas-missile) [![Malphas Flamer](//dl.dropbox.com/u/52918745/Enemies/Malphas%20Flamer.png "Malphas Flamer") Malphas Flamer](/wiki/malphas-flamer) [Back to top](#top) ### Drops {#drops} {{template-drop |pink= {{template-drop-row|first=true |item1={{template-item-link|page=armor#tier-6|name=Tier 6 Armor|externalIcon=//i.imgur.com/VEj9Qnq.gif}} }} |purpleSpan=3 |purple= {{template-drop-row|first=true |item1={{template-item-link|page=mark-of-malphas|name=Mark of Malphas|externalIcon=https://i.imgur.com/R09xIwZ.png|guaranteed=SB}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=weapons#tier-7|name=Tier 7 Weapon|externalIcon=/s/a/img/wiki/Weapon_T7.gif}} |item3={{template-item-link|page=weapons#tier-9|name=Tier 9 Weapon|externalIcon=/s/a/img/wiki/Weapon_T9.gif}} }} {{template-drop-row |item1={{template-item-link|page=ability-items#tier-3|name=Tier 3 Ability|externalIcon=//i.imgur.com/swaCGDi.gif}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=ability-items#tier-4|name=Tier 4 Ability|externalIcon=//i.imgur.com/APXF0o8.gif}} |item3={{template-item-link|page=armor#tier-7|name=Tier 7 Armor|externalIcon=//i.imgur.com/hAHk594.gif}} }} {{template-drop-row |item1={{template-item-link|page=armor#tier-9|name=Tier 9 Armor|externalIcon=//i.imgur.com/sALS3P5.gif}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=rings#tier-3|name=Tier 3 Ring|externalIcon=/s/a/img/wiki/Ring_T3.gif}} |item3={{template-item-link|page=rings#tier-4|name=Tier 4 Ring|externalIcon=/s/a/img/wiki/Ring_T4.gif}} }} |basket= {{template-drop-row|first=true |item1={{template-item-link|page=pet-eggs|name=Pet Eggs|externalIcon=http://i.imgur.com/wi9Ybqt.gif}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=pet-eggs|name=Demon Frog Egg|icon=Consumable/Pet%20Eggs/Demon%20Frog%20Egg.png}} }} |goldenSpan=2 |golden= {{template-drop-row|first=true |item1={{template-item-link|page=dungeon-treasures|name=Golden Femur|icon=Misc%20items/Golden%20Femur.png}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=dungeon-treasures|name=Golden Ribcage|icon=Misc%20items/Golden%20Ribcage.png}} |item3={{template-item-link|page=dungeon-treasures|name=Golden Skull|icon=Misc%20items/Golden%20Skull.png}} }} {{template-drop-row |item1={{template-item-link|page=pet-skins|name=Demon Frog Pet Skin|externalIcon=https://static.drips.pw/rotmg/wiki/Pets/Aquatic/Demon%20Frog.png}} }} |cyan= {{template-drop-row|first=true |item1={{template-item-link|page=weapons#tier-10|name=Tier 10 Weapon|externalIcon=/s/a/img/wiki/Weapon_T10.gif}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=armor#tier-10|name=Tier 10 Armor|externalIcon=//i.imgur.com/Dn8i9V5.gif}} |item3={{template-item-link|page=wine-cellar-incantation|name=Wine Cellar Incantation|icon=Consumable/Other/Wine Cellar Incantation.png}} }} |blue= {{template-drop-row|first=true |item1={{template-item-link|page=potion-of-vitality|name=Potion of Vitality|icon=Consumable/Stat Potions/Potion of Vitality.png|guaranteed=2}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=potion-of-defense|name=Potion of Defense|icon=Consumable/Stat Potions/Potion of Defense.png}} }} |white= {{template-drop-row|first=true |item1={{template-item-link|page=demon-blade|name=Demon Blade|icon=Untiered/Demon Blade.png}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=sword-of-illumination|name=Sword of Illumination|icon=Untiered/Sword of Illumination.png}} }} }} [Back to top](#top) ### Tips and Strategies {#tips} It is recommended to kill all six [White Demons](/wiki/white-demon) before stepping over the checkered black-and-red path and damaging Malphas. This process is known as "clearing whites". Although note that in Abysses with a large number of players it is usual for some to go straight in for the boss without clearing any of the white demons. The [Demon Blade](/wiki/demon-blade) is a powerful weapon that many strive to possess, and is a quite rare drop from Malphas. ### History The [Sword of Illumination](/wiki/sword-of-illumination) was a limited-time drop in the Abyss of Demons (during June 2015 Month of the Mad God and August 2016 Month of the Mad God). And now only has the chance to drop during Month of the Mad God events. The Potion of Defense is no longer a guaranteed drop from Malphas as of Release 27.7.X6. [Back to top](#top)
