Magmus is a molten golem guarding the gate to the Emperor's Seat in BRD. The penultimate fight before the finale.
Molten golem
Fiery Burst
Knockback
Tactics
- Fiery Burst — a fire AoE; don't stack, the healer heals the group.
- Knockback — knocks the target back; tank with your back to a wall so the knockback doesn't pull into patrols.
- As a golem he is immune to crowd control; pure tank-and-spank, fire resistance optional.
- On Magmus's death the gate to the Emperor's Seat opens — Princess Moira and Emperor Thaurissan are next.
Role
Magmus is the finale's gatekeeper: no Emperor without killing him first. On x5 he drops fast.
