  • Tainted Artifacts destroyed 0/4
  • Dexicos escapes in: 10:00

Walkthrough[edit]

This is a fairly simple fight against some weaker enemies, and an elite boss mob that first becomes invulnerable and then untargetable at 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20% health. This requires one of the surrounding artifacts to be destroyed to make the boss vulnerable to damage again. Note that the artifacts are somewhat small, so following the tether from the boss and using area-of-effect attacks can make this part significantly easier.

Dialogue[edit]

Before the event starts
Tybar: Would you just listen? These are powerful artifacts that have been corrupted. They have to be handled carefully!
Satoshi: They've been scattered around the wilds for generations without incident. They're basically just garbage.
Satoshi: Have you seen the city? We've got bigger problems than me invoking the spirits of...
Tybar: Put that down, you fool!
Satoshi: (agonized scream)
Dexicos the Covetous: Oh, I like this place. Such excess to consume, and yet you try to keep it from me.
Tybar: Damn it all! We gotta destroy these relics now!
Dexicos the Covetous: Your struggle is futile! You will all be mine!
During the event
Dexicos the Covetous: To think, you've hoarded this feast for all these years, as though I wouldn't get my due.
Dexicos the Covetous: Your pitiful lives belong to me!
Dexicos the Covetous: Get back. It's mine! Mine!
Event failure
Tybar: We're out of time. Everyone fall back! No point dying over this.
Event success
Satoshi: Oh, spirits, that was... I didn't know anything could burn like that.
Tybar: I hope the rest of you leaned your lesson: follow my instructions if you want to live.
Tybar: Thanks for the help. Good to have someone around here with some sense.

Notes[edit]

Dexicos the Covetous is actually only invincible very briefly, and the rest of the time they are simply untargetable and unaffected by attacks. This means that any remaining conditions will continue to deal damage to them. It is currently unknown what will happen if this causes Dexicos to be pushed past the next health threshold.
