Lycia, Herald of the Scourge, is a major antagonist and the final boss of the Forbidden Sanctum, a mechanic introduced in Path of Exile's Scourge league. Since Scourge was a temporary league, encountering Lycia directly as a boss might not be possible depending on the current league you're playing. Here's a breakdown of Lycia's role and how you might learn more about her:
Icon | Floor | Bosses |
Based on |
---|---|---|---|
Sanctum Necropolis: Sanctum Sanctorum | Contains Lycia, Unholy Heretic | Form 1: Attacks with sword swings and lunges, circular sweep attacks, and a rotating red beam. Can summon Igneous Gargoyle adds and spawns a ring of DOT ground effect that drains Resolve and slowly moves through the arena. | |
The Beyond | Contains Lycia, Herald of the Scourge | Form 2: Uses a wind tunnel beam, returning Fireballs, and a delayed slam; also summons spinning staff hazards around the arena. Periodically has an immune phase creating a maze of waves of lightning bolts with gaps. Note: This phase does not damage Resolve. |
Lycia is an NPC found in the Forbidden Sanctum. She is the boss of the fourth floor, and the major antagonist of the league. She is a former Templar who specializes in the forbidden arts of necromancy and lithomancy, and gained immortality in a demonic pact with Beidat.
Lycia, Herald of the Scourge in "The Beyond" will always drop a Unique Relic, as well as a chance to drop one of her exclusive items:
3.20.1b Patch Notes: Herald of the Scourge's lightning waves skill now spawns more lightning bolts with each wave, though the lightning bolts are now smaller. The delay between each wave has been slightly increased, and the damage of the skill has been lowered by 20%.
