Erebus, the Unlit

Erebus, the Unlit is the boss of the Lower Pit. It sleeps under the cavern floor until the pit's kills wake it, then anyone in the lower pit can fight it.

It only stirs once the seal over the centre of the Pit of Erebus has broken.

The wake bar

Everyone in the pit world, upper and lower, sees a bar. Kills fill it:

At 1,250 points Erebus wakes. It bursts out of the cavern floor with a roar that everyone in the pit world hears. Nothing is posted in chat.

While the seal over the pit still holds, the bar shows the seal's count instead and ring kills don't fill it.

The fight

• Erebus has 100,000 health. It has no damage reduction and doesn't scale with the number of players.
• While it is awake, the bar shows its health and the kill count is frozen.
• It only takes hits from players inside the lower pit.
• Mob aura hits it.
• If nobody fights it for 15 minutes, it digs back down and leaves. The bar keeps half its points, so it wakes again after half the kills.
• Erebus is not a boss arena. Dying near it follows the pit's death rules: you keep your gear and what you brought in, and drop only what you picked up in the pit. See Death & Item Loss.

Rewards

Everyone who deals at least 10% of its health qualifies. Each qualified player gets:

• 3 picks from its loot table.
• A roll for the pit's new pet.

If you are offline when it dies, or the server restarts mid-fight, your share waits for you and is paid on your next login.

Each pick can be one of:

• A jewel crafting item for the Confluence. Two of the crafting items drop only from Erebus.
• A new kill effect, a cosmetic for /cosmetics.
• The top tier of the pit's new offhand.
• A new weapon trim for swords and axes.

Some picks come up empty. The lower pit's two hidden unique jewels are in its loot as well.
