Adderis and Aspix
Temple of Sethraliss · boss 1 of 4
A pair of powerful sethrak that are blessed by the storm and charged with guarding the temple's entrance.
One of the pair is always shielded, so hit the other one. Stack for Thunder and Lightning — its first half divides between everyone it catches.
A target-switching fight. Storm Blessed cuts damage taken on whichever sethrak currently holds it and moves between them as they take damage, so the group has to notice the transfer and move with it rather than tunnelling one health bar.
What actually kills you
Everything else is noise until these three are handled.
- Beating on the blessed one. The damage reduction is large enough that ignoring the swap is the difference between a kill and an enrage.
- Taking Thunder and Lightning alone. The first half divides evenly between the players it hits, so it wants everybody in it.
- Being pushed somewhere bad. Gale Force throws players backwards, and the arena has things behind you.
Your job
If you tank
- Overload makes Adderis attack faster and adds Nature damage to every swing. It is a burst window on you, not a raid mechanic.
- Keep them close enough that the group can stack for Thunder and Lightning without leaving the pair unattended.
If you heal
- Tempest Winds damages on creation, and on Mythic Aspix places several at once.
- When one of them dies, the survivor goes into Frenzy and casts recklessly. The last stretch is the busiest.
If you DPS
- Watch the buff, not the health bars. Storm Blessed transfers as they get injured, and it will move mid-burst.
- Stack for Thunder and Lightning. Spreading it is how someone gets one-shot by a mechanic that is harmless shared.
How the fight goes
| Part | What to do |
|---|---|
| Step 1 | Storm Blessed sits on one of the pair and transfers as they take damage. Follow it. |
| Step 2 | Adderis melees and Overloads; Aspix pushes with Gale Force and seeds Tempest Winds. |
| Step 3 | The first death sends the survivor into Frenzy. Expect the damage pattern to speed up rather than end. |

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 Temple of Sethraliss — the bonus roll guide explains what that changes, and the planner works it out per spec.
