Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Drest'agath's appendages burst through the floor and attack enemies who enter her lair. When appendages are destroyed, pools of Void Infused Ichor form around their corpse. Enemies who touch Void Infused Ichor bypass the continual healing provided by Drest'agath's Aberrant Regeneration. In addition to creating pools of Void Infused Ichor, destroying a tentacle partially fills Drest'agath's Agony bar. Upon reaching 100 Agony, Drest'agath begins Throes of Agony.
