Skills and Abilities[edit]

The Ancient One has all the same abilities as a regular watcher, except for one of the abilities being modified.

Gaze
The Ancient One shoots a beam from its eye directly at the player as a basic ranged attack, doing moderate magic damage.
Doom-Truth's Gaze
The Ancient One winds up and releases a series of beams along the ground in front of it. Getting hit by one will do high magical damage to the player, and stun them briefly. The beams can be avoided by being behind the Ancient One when it is performing this attack.
Shockwave
The Ancient One quickly spins around releasing a burst of magic, doing extremely high damage to anyone around it. This attack has no red circle indication.
