Throne of the Herald/Guide
Due to justified nerfs to Poison and Despair in Patch 1.3, the requirements and length of the fight has gone up.
Rewards
Harold - This pet has a ludicrous amount of bonuses for every aspect of the game.
Dungeon Mechanics
Similar toIntimidation
Just like every other monster in the ,
The Herald has a passive effect that reduces the player's Damage Reduction. When in combat with
The Herald, the player's base damage reduction is reduced by 44%, before any modifiers from the combat triangle.
Deja-Vu
This ability is found on all three phases of the boss, and is reminiscent of the passive immunities of Bane and
Ahrenia. When the boss uses this ability, he becomes immune to all damage from combat styles different than his own for a few turns. This ability is designed to encourage the player to swap equipment sets actively to be able to deal damage, however, the boss generally does too much damage to not take advantage of the Combat Triangle increase to Damage Reduction, and this mechanic can be ignored if you can deal enough damage in between Deja-Vu effects.
Immunities
Each phase of The Herald is immune to stuns and freeze effects as has a 50% chance to avoid Burn, Bleed, Slow and Frostburn.
Growing Madness
Every time the boss attacks, it gets faster and can deal more damage, with up to 50% reduced attack interval, and 50% increased Max Hit.
Standard Guides
Low Level Method
Manual Eating will be required to defeatThere are 2 options on how to Manual Eat:
- Simply holding down the Eat button the entire Fight.
- Reactionary Manual Eating, this is quite tricky as
The Herald attacks quite fast.

When Manual Eating this boss there are 2 choices of how to do this.
- You can apply Reaction Manual Eating, Eating only when needed, after
The Herald hits you, you hit
The Herald then you Eat before
The Herald hits again. This gets nearly impossible to do effectively at highh stacks of "Reign over TIme"
- Just hold the eat button the entire fight.
The Herald does not apply stacks of Affliction, which does make things easier.

Ancient Relics
Due to the nature of Ancient Relics, this mode is a lot more powerful than it's standard counterpart.
The Standard Method here works just fine for this mode, however it can be done with much less gear and Levels in Ancient Relics Mode.
This method will require the following Relics numbers to be obtained:
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingAttack - 1,2,3,4,5 - Master Relic
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingStrength - 1,2,3,4,5 - Master Relic
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingHitpoints - 1,2,3,4,5 - Master Relic
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingAgility - 3
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingMagic - 5 (Relics 1,2,4 speed up the kill time quite a bit but aren't required)
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingAstrology - 1,2,3,4,5 - Master Relic
Much like the previous Cheese Method, there are 2 ways of Eating, Reaction Manual Eating - Eating whenever Damage is taken, or just holding "Enter" on the Eat button (only possible on PC). You need to double click the word "Food" in-game, then press tab, this will allow you to hold "Enter" for the entire fight. Do notice that the popup for Harold at the final Kill of Phase 3 will not Show up this way.
This will require the following Skill Levels:
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 90 orError creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 90 for
Damage Reduction Potion IV
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 99
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 99
