Skills and Abilities

As a boss type enemy, Plague Concocter Mortieu is immune to all forms of crowd control effects.

Quick Shot

A basic ranged attack that deals minor physical damage.

Acid Spray

The boss fires poison arrows in a spray dealing moderate poison damage over time as indicated by a red cone.

Release Flame

The boss throws a fireball at a target location that spreads out in four directions once it lands dealing moderate flame damage.

Plague Well

The grates around the arena will randomly activate shooting balls of poison at all players dealing moderate poison damage over time (this shows up as Spewing Plague). If unblocked, a larger poison ball (Plague Eruption) will trigger dealing high poison damage to the group. The tank should stand on the grates when they activate as indicated by a green circle to block the balls for the group.

Blistering Plague

Throughout the fight the boss will use a random disease on the group. This deals moderate disease damage over time on top of its main effect. There are three main effects as listed below. Jorvuld Davaux can cure you though he needs your help to acquire the reagents for the cure.

Decaying Infection

Decaying Infection lowers the healing you receive. Your screen will glow red to indicate this.

Wilting Infection

Wilting Infection increases the cost of your Magicka abilities. Your screen will glow blue to indicate this.

Degenerative Infection

Degenerative Infection increases the cost of your Stamina abilities. Your screen will glow green to indicate this.

Summon Creatures

After the disease is applied, imps, stranglers, and [[Online:|Online:]] will appear to attack the party. Jorvuld will call out for specific creatures to be killed to make the cure, but all of them should be killed to make the fight simpler.

Taking Aim

The boss will attempt to snipe Jorvuld while he is preparing the antidote. Interrupt this attack to prevent the boss from stunning Jorvuld so you can cure yourself quicker.

Antidote ^{[verification needed]}

Jorvuld will throw the antidote on the ground when it is ready. Run over to the green circle to pick up the buff, which dispels the Blistering Plague and its effects. The boss will also get stunned at this point. In addition, players will gain large bonuses to damage done, ultimate generation, and resource recovery, so use this chance to deal massive damage to the boss.

Summon Mortieu's Guard

When he gets stunned, he will summon a guard to help him. The guard deals high damage with its shield bash and should be killed quickly to simplify the fight.
