Adventure Guide Entry

The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Trilliax encounter in The Nighthold.

Trilliax, once proud servant to the nightborne aristocracy, has been discarded and left to slowly deteriorate among other surplus constructs. While an unwavering will to carry out its tasks remains, the passage of time has splintered this construct's personality matrix. It now unpredictably switches from one mode to the next, ranging from doting caretaker to homicidal sterilizer, craving recognition and validation from a master that no longer exists.

Abilities & Strategy

Overview

As the fight progresses, the malfunctioning construct swaps between various modes that determine what abilities it uses. During Cleaner mode, eat Toxic Slices. During Maniac mode, avoid Annihilation. While Trilliax is in Caretaker mode, hop onto scrubbers when they malfuction to prevent the raid taking damage from Cleansing Destruction. On Mythic difficulty, Trilliax uses Personality Transference to activate additional constructs. When Trilliax's current mode matches the additional construct's, they activate Dual Personalities.

Damage Dealers
