ModpacksArcadia: ShadowfallThe Acts
Act VI: Seal of Ruin
The eight Cataclysm thrones: eyes, lairs, offerings and bosses.
Act VI: Seal of Ruin
"Every throne is a lock. Every lock has a key. I would very much like to know who has been collecting them." Veyra Ashe
The eight thrones of L_Ender's Cataclysm. These are the hardest fights in the pack.
Recommended: the Cataclysm's own gear wants Attack 35 to 40, Magic 28 to 38 and Defense 30 to 35. Come prepared.
How every lane works
- Locate: craft the boss's Eye. It points to the lair.
- Prepare: reach the lair (a real structure or advancement).
- Awaken: gather the offering, or clear the guardian.
- Slay: kill the boss.
Every Eye can also be bought in the Vault (8 gold each). Time or coin, your choice.
The eight lanes
| Boss | Eye | Lair | Awaken | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Netherite Monstrosity | Monstrous Eye | Descend into the Nether (the Soul Forge) | Kill 12 wither skeletons | 6 gold, 8 levels, 2 netherite |
| Ignis | Flame Eye | Find the Burning Arena | Hold Burning Ashes | 7 gold, 10 levels, Cooldown Orb |
| Ender Guardian | Void Eye | Find the Ruined Citadel (End) | Kill the Ender Golem | 7 gold, 10 levels, Mana Orb |
| The Harbinger | Mech Eye | Find the Ancient Factory | Hold a Nether Star | 7 gold, 10 levels, Protection Orb |
| Ancient Remnant | Desert Eye | Find the Cursed Pyramid | Hold the Necklace of the Desert and a brush | 8 gold, 12 levels, Legendary Ink |
| The Leviathan | Abyss Eye | Find the Sunken City | Hold the Abyssal Sacrifice | 8 gold, 12 levels, Heart of the Sea |
| Maledictus | Cursed Eye | Find the Frosted Prison | Hold a totem and a skeleton skull | 8 gold, 12 levels, Cursed Doll Spell Book |
| Scylla | Storm Eye | Find the Acropolis | Kill Clawdian | 10 gold, 14 levels, Lightning Rod |
Boss notes
- Netherite Monstrosity: respect close-range slams, and interrupt its chances to feed from lava.
- Ignis: multiple phases and heavy melee pressure. Surviving the arena is part of surviving Ignis.
- Ender Guardian: brutal melee and shockwaves. Spacing is safer than absorbing every slam.
- The Harbinger: count attack patterns and use the EMP blocks for stun windows.
- Ancient Remnant: expect burrowing charges. Never stand directly in front of it.
- The Leviathan: an arena-control fight in three dimensions. Sort out your oxygen first.
- Maledictus: watch for long-reaching spectral attacks and do not get trapped against walls.
- Scylla: click the giant Anchor to call her. The arena's edge is also a boss.
Field Work (optional)
| Quest | You do | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| The Forge Master | Hold an Ignitium chestplate | 6 gold, 6 levels |
| Heavy Arms | Hold the Incinerator | 6 gold, 6 levels |
The finale: Seal of Ruin, Broken
Reward: 2 crystal coins, 15 gold, 15 XP levels, 4 netherite ingots, 2 enchanted golden apples, a Magic bonus, and Vault Tier IV becomes available (1 crystal license). You read Isolde's fourth letter.
Spoiler: the letter
"The Shadowfall was not a fall. It was a hiding. I hid you. I am sorry."
Tips
- Do the Wither (Act V) first; the Harbinger needs a Nether Star.
- Save your Eyes for the fight. Do not toss one away trying to find a lair.
- Bring Feather Falling, mobility and strong sustain into the Ruined Citadel.
