Tectus

Overview

Tectus cannot be killed by traditional means. He builds energy, channeling Tectonic Upheaval whenever he reaches 100. Depleting Tectus's health before the end of Upheaval shatters it into two Shards of Tectus; otherwise, Tectus heals and resumes gaining energy. Each Shard splits into four Motes of Tectus when shattered. Players must kill all eight Motes to defeat Tectus.

Tectus, The Living Mountain

Tectus begins the battle fully formed, able to inflict full damage.

Shard of Tectus

When shattered, the remnants of Tectus will form two Shards of Tectus. Shards of Tectus share Tectus' abilities, but individually deal less damage.

Mote of Tectus

When shattered, the remnants of each Shard of Tectus will form four Motes of Tectus. Motes of Tectus do not need to be shattered. Players are victorious over Tectus after they have killed all of the Motes of Tectus.

Night-Twisted Pale

While Tectus is fully formed, Night-Twisted Pale will attempt to enter the fight, empowering Tectus and attacking players. In Mythic difficulty, Night-Twisted pale continue to attack after Tectus is shattered.
