Nightmare of Lycia without being affected by Heretic's Ire

Here's how to tackle the Nightmare of Lycia encounter in Path of Exile without getting hit by her signature attack, Heretic's Ire:

Understanding Heretic's Ire:

  • Cast Time: Heretic's Ire has a windup animation where Lycia raises her hand, channeling dark energy.
  • Mechanics: After the windup, Lycia unleashes a wave of dark energy that deals high chaos damage and applies a damage over time effect.
  • Indicators: Look for a dark area expanding outwards from Lycia, foreshadowing the attack's range.

Strategies to Avoid Heretic's Ire:

  • Movement Skills: Having a reliable movement skill like Flicker Strike, Leap Slam, or Shield Charge allows you to dodge the attack once you see the windup animation.
  • Pillar Positioning: The Nightmare of Lycia arena has several pillars scattered around the edge. Use these pillars as obstacles to block Heretic's Ire. Position yourself behind a pillar when you see the windup animation.
  • Temporal Rift (Trickster Ascendancy): If you're playing a Trickster Ascendancy character, utilizing the "Temporal Rift" ability allows you to phase out of reality for a brief moment, effectively dodging the attack.

Additional Tips:

  • Damage Output: Focus on maximizing your damage output to defeat Lycia quickly, reducing the number of times she casts Heretic's Ire.
  • Chaos Resistance: Ensure you have high chaos resistance to mitigate damage if you do get caught by Heretic's Ire.
  • Pantheon Power: Consider using the Pantheon power "Soul of Shakari" which grants increased recovery rate for life and energy shield after being hit.

Challenge Considerations (Since Lycia is from Scourge League):

  • Direct Encounter Potential: As Lycia is from the Scourge league, directly encountering her as the Nightmare boss might not be possible in the current league you're playing.
  • Alternative Strategies: If directly fighting Lycia isn't possible, there might be alternate mechanics referencing the Scourge league or Heretic's Ire in the current league. Look for these references in lore entries, unique items, or special encounters tied to the Scourge league. These might offer alternative ways to complete this unofficial challenge.

Community Resources:

  • Consult Path of Exile forums or online resources for the current league to see if there are any mechanics related to the Scourge league or Heretic's Ire.
  • You can also check the Path of Exile Wiki for Lycia's page to learn more about her lore and potential mentions in the current league: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Lycia

By using a combination of these strategies, adapting your approach based on your character build, and considering the current league mechanics, you can overcome the Nightmare of Lycia (if she's directly available) or find alternative ways to complete this challenge depending on the league you're playing. Good luck!
