Risen Priestess of Lyssa

The Risen Priestess of Lyssa is a powerful Risen mesmer that controls the Cathedral of Eternal Radiance from the Altar of Lies. She was once the high priestess of Lyssa in Orr, but is now a servant of Zhaitan. She is protected by a magical barrier and cannot be fought until the cathedral's three outer seals are captured. Defeating her is the final objective of the Cathedral of Eternal Radiance meta event, and a Glorious Chest will spawn upon her death.

Notes[edit]

Sometimes facing the Risen Priestess of Lyssa will continue to Daze you even if she's no longer channeling Corrupted Gaze.
  • The Risen Priestess of Lyssa herself isn't actually very dangerous, the real threat comes from the Risen and Corrupted Illusions she spawns.
  • If the event scales up enough for the Priestess to summon Champion Corrupted Illusions watch out, they're especially deadly.
  • If Summoned Allies or Ranger pets are facing the Priestess while she's channeling Corrupted Gaze they'll get dazed and cause additional Risen to spawn just like players do.
