Due to | Due to justified nerfs to [[Poison]] and {{Icon|Despair|type=curse}} in Patch 1.3, the requirements and length of the fight has gone up. | ||

{{PetIcon|Harold}} - This pet has a ludicrous amount of bonuses for every aspect of the game. | |||

Similar to {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} and {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}}, this Dungeon consists of 3 boss phases, each tailored to a specific Combat Style. There will be a paused screen as soon as you enter the dungeon, and before each phase of the boss, where the player can read the boss's abilities and damage values. Unlike those dungeons, there are significantly less mechanics that dynamically change the amount of damage the boss can do, outside of the returning [[Affliction]]. Due to this it is generally easier to determine the circumstances in which the player can survive without manually eating. The third phase has a mechanic that instantly kills the player (by dealing about a million damage) if they fall below 90% {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP}}. | Similar to {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} and {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}}, this Dungeon consists of 3 boss phases, each tailored to a specific Combat Style.

'''Intimidation''' <br> | |||
Just like every other monster in the {{TotH|Throne of the Herald Expansion}}, {{MonsterIcon|The Herald}} has a passive effect that reduces the player's Damage Reduction. When in combat with {{MonsterIcon|The Herald}}, the player's '''base''' damage reduction is reduced by 44%, before any modifiers from the combat triangle. | Just like every other monster in the {{TotH|Throne of the Herald Expansion}}, {{MonsterIcon|The Herald}} has a passive effect that reduces the player's Damage Reduction.

'''Deja-Vu''' <br> | |||
This ability is found on all three phases of the boss, and is reminiscent of the passive immunities of {{MonsterIcon|Bane}} and {{MonsterIcon|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. | This ability is found on all three phases of the boss, and is reminiscent of the passive immunities of {{MonsterIcon|Bane}} and {{MonsterIcon|Ahrenia}}.

This fight is different from the others. {{MonsterIcon|The Herald}} has a special unavoidable attack '''Sealed Fate''' which instantly kills the player if they are below 90% health when it activates. This means this phase cannot be idled, and the player must pay attention to the fight in order to heal themselves to full {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP}} when the boss is using the attack and keep themselves alive for all other attacks. Remember that the boss will be attacking very quickly due to '''Reign over Time'''. | This fight is different from the others. {{MonsterIcon|The Herald}} has a special unavoidable attack '''Sealed Fate''' which instantly kills the player if they are below 90% health when it activates.
