Uber Bosses

Every one of the four world bosses has a harder version: Uber Lamia, Uber Echidna, Uber Thanatos and Uber Hephaestus. They are the hardest content on the server, each fights in an arena of its own, and they roll from loot tables of their own.

Getting a key

Each uber needs its own key. Uber keys are separate relics, not upgraded normal keys.

Boss Uber key
Lamia Lamia's Weeping Mirror
Echidna Echidna's Brood Knot
Thanatos Thanatos' Unpaid Toll
Hephaestus Hephaestus' Unquenched Brand

Uber keys now come only from the Sacred Way. Kill an uber's Avatar for a fragment of that uber, then forge 5 fragments into its key at the Pavilion Vault. Keys and fragments trade like any other item.

Erebus Crates no longer pay uber keys. Keys aren't forged from boss essence, and a Mystery Boss Key never rolls one.

Summoning one

Drop the uber key in that boss's normal altar. The fight then takes place in the uber's own arena:

Uber Arena
Uber Echidna her den
Uber Thanatos his court
Uber Hephaestus the heart of a volcano
Uber Lamia her palace

Uber summons need Community Fund tier V. All four unlock together at that tier. The rest works like a normal summon, refund rules included. See Summoning a Boss.

Health

Every uber has 100,000 health. All four are about equally hard, so there is no easy one to farm. What separates them is how they fight, and that is left for you to find out in the arena.

Everything on Boss Fight Mechanics still applies: a solo arena only you can enter, the time limit, keeping your inventory on death.

Ubers have their own leaderboard rows in /boss, separate from the normal bosses. There is no RNG Meter for ubers.

Loot

Loot goes to you, the summoner, as on the normal fights. See Boss Loot & Drop Announcements.

Every uber kill drops 1 item from that boss's pool. The pool holds:

  • Two uniques. Each uber has one known unique and one hidden one (below). The better of the two is the rarer.
  • One exceptional enchant orb, a level above the enchant's normal cap. It applies at 50% and needs an Ancient Energy charge before you can use it.
  • Jewel Truing Stones and Reforging Sigils, which make up most of the pool.

Each kill can also drop a Godly Booster Box on top of the pool item.

Uber Known unique Hidden unique Exceptional orb
Uber Lamia Echoglass, an Aetheric jewel a new unique jewel Enlighten 4
Uber Echidna Ensnare, a rechargeable trinket a pet Overload 4
Uber Thanatos The Everwrought, a trinket an enchant Warp Miner 6
Uber Hephaestus Emberflow, an Aetheric jewel a weapon trim Fracture 6

Luck raises your odds of the uniques and the exceptional orb. It doesn't change the Godly Booster Box.

Uber kills don't get the daily boss bonus and don't use up any of your 10 daily bonus kills.

Uber loot tables show in /loot once you've seen them.
