Rav'i
Altar of Fangs · boss 1 of 3
This ravenous hydra has survived this cursed place through scavenging the meat of the fallen. That doesn't mean it is not a fearsome combatant, eager to add some fresh temple explorers to its otherwise rotting diet.
She stops fighting to eat, and shields herself while she does it. Every second that shield is up, everyone takes stacking damage. Break it.
A burst-window fight. Rav'i is harmless between meals — the whole dungeon group exists to delete her absorb shield the moment she runs to a Carrion Pile, because the stacks only stop when the shield does.
What actually kills you
Everything else is noise until these three are handled.
- Letting Ssscavenging run. Carrion Burst stacks on everyone every second until her shield breaks, and it does not fall off on its own.
- Feeding Frenzy. If the pile she runs to has Fresh Meat on it she eats twice as fast, so the same shield costs you twice the stacks.
- Dropping the meat. Messy Eater throws chunks across the pit — every chunk nobody catches explodes into another Carrion Burst.
Your job
If you tank
- Hydrastrike is her three heads hitting you at once. It is ordinary tank damage; there is no swap mechanic here.
- Ravenous Stomp drops Fresh Meat onto Carrion Piles. Watch which pile gets it, because that is the one that turns a meal into a Feeding Frenzy.
If you heal
- Carrion Burst is the whole healing check. It stacks, it ticks every second, and it only ends when the shield does — so cooldowns go on the eating, not on a timer.
- Triple Shot lands on three players and keeps ticking around them. Spread before it goes out and it is much less to heal.
If you DPS
- Everything on her shield the moment she starts eating. Nothing else you do in this fight matters as much.
- Catch the meat chunks. A caught chunk is damage to one person; a dropped one is a Carrion Burst on everybody.
- Regurgitate throws three lines of acid at someone. Move sideways out of the lines — it also slows you and cuts your damage, which is the real cost.
How the fight goes
| Part | What to do |
|---|---|
| Step 1 | She fights normally until she runs out of energy. |
| Step 2 | Out of energy, she runs to the nearest Carrion Pile and starts Ssscavenging behind an absorb shield. |
| Step 3 | Break the shield and she goes back to fighting. Fresh Meat on that pile makes it a Feeding Frenzy instead — same job, less time to do it. |

Worth a bonus roll?
You cannot roll this boss on its own. A dungeon roll is against the whole instance, so this table is one part of a pool that includes every other boss in Altar of Fangs — the bonus roll guide explains what that changes, and the planner works it out per spec.
