Abilities

Zone: Chance to spawn in Item Level 79+ Logbooks; look for this icon on your map.

Damage Type: Physical and Cold.

• Large sweeps with his claymore at the player.
• Special Attack: Ice Crash
  • Olroth raises his sword into the air before slamming down, leaving behind ice ground that erupt periodically.

• Special Attack: Boomerang Blade (Requires Dodge)
  • Olroth tosses his sword across the arena. When it returns to him, it causes a large explosion as he grips it. Note: Getting hit by the sword in flight applies a Hinder debuff. Dodge roll or run to the side when you see him flashing red.

• Special Ability: Dash Attack
  • Olroth points his sword towards the player and charges toward them, either doing a thrusting attack or an upwards slash. Note: Dodge roll to the side as he thrust his sword forwards.

• Special Ability: Triskelion Beam
  • The Triskelion Flame fires a beam that tracks the player. Note: The beam deals cold damage and chills you, slowing your movement speed, so keep moving to avoid it. 

• Special Ability: Triskelion Bolt
  • The Triskelion Bolt fires a fast ice projectile at the player’s location, which deals damage in a small area.

• Special Ability: Starfall
  • Olroth summons ice beams from the sky that first contract and then expand in a large spiral pattern. Listen for the voice line “Purify.“

• Special Ability: Chilling Flurry
  • Olroth performs multiple swings with his sword, firing a volley of freezing pulse waves.

When Olroth reaches 0% health, the Triskelion Flame resurrects him with around 70% health and they both gain the following abilities:

• Special Ability: Starfire
  • The Triskelion Flame fires a massive beam through the center of the arena. Note: this ability deals heavy damage and leaves chilling ground, cutting the arena in half for a while. Keep an eye on where the Triskelion Flame is when you hear the voice line “Starfire”.

Scaling

The “Logbook Difficulty” nodes on the Atlas Tree make Olroth more challenging and are needed to get more Atlas Expedition points. He gains more health: 2.12M at normal, 3.20M on +1 difficulty, 5.27M on +2 difficulty, 10M on +3 difficulty, and 21.6M on +4 difficulty. The Portals around the arena will also become active before his resurrection at +1 difficulty and also after his resurrection at +2 difficulty, sending out minions to help him. At +3 difficulty and above, Triskelion Bolt leaves behind an ice spike that does damage over time if you stand near it and disappears after a short while.
