Entry

Players must use the Incandescent Invitation in their map device to fight Searing Exarch. The invitation drops after defeating The Black Star and following the quest steps.

After finishing the The Searing Exarch quest, tradeable versions of the Incandescent Invitation will drop by the boss in the 28th T14+ Map which is influenced by the Searing Exarch. This can be repeated every subsequent 28 maps.

The arena is called Absence of Patience and Wisdom.

Skills

  • Default attack – 75% of Physical Damage converted to Fire.
  • Flame Wall – “Disintegration!” – casts a long Flame Wall
    • Push Flame Wall – “Cleansing!” – causes the Flame Wall to move in a straight line away.
  • Mortar – “Annihilation!” – casts a channeled version of Blazing Salvo that can turn while casting.
  • Lantern Explosion – “Incineration!” – charges up for a short duration, unleashing a very large AOE of Fire that bypasses Block/Dodge. The charge-up indicator AOE is slightly larger than the actual hit.
  • Rolling Meteor Wall – “The fires of a thousand suns!” – becomes invulnerable, unleashing 4~16 lines of Rolling Meteors across the arena. The Maven will destroy 4~10 Rolling Meteors per line (depending on the total number of lines) to give the player a gap to dodge the line. This skill always Ignites.
  • Searing Rune – Tiled rune patterns move across the arena causing players standing on them to receive two debuffs:
    • Cauterised Flesh: You have -5% maximum Fire Resistance and your Travel Skills have 50% reduced Cooldown Recovery Speed. Persists for 10 seconds after moving off
    • Searing Rune: Deals Fire Damage over time and prevents recovery of Life or Energy Shield. Applies while standing on the rune.

Strategy

  • Logging out during the Rolling Meteor phase will usually cause the phase to restart. Leaving the arena or dying during this phase may also cause the Exarch’s animations to bug out, rendering it invisible.
  • Minions such as Summon Skeletons, Totems, and Frost Wall can be used to body block Rolling Meteors, causing the meteors to be destroyed. Note that it will cause an AOE explosion which may still hit the character if not far enough away.
  • Teleportation movement skills (like Flame Dash) allow players to pass through Rolling Meteor walls without taking damage.
  • Avoid rolling the Buffered – 13% increased Quantity of Items found in this Area, 8% increased Rarity of Items found in this Area, Monsters gain (40-49)% of Maximum Life as Extra Maximum Energy Shield (Prefix) invitation mod, as the boss will recharge to full Energy Shield if the player fails to consecutively hit the boss or during immunity phases such as the Rolling Meteor Wall Phase. This mod will significantly increase the effective health of the boss and is not recommended for builds with low damage.
