A late-endgame boss built around reacting fast — rotating prayers, spreading infections and a screen that punishes standing still.
Late game
Flagged for review
HP is listed on the source page as "5B Armour (Solo)" — unclear whether Armour names a separate stat from HP or is qualifying the HP pool itself. Kept exactly as written rather than guessing.

Description
Basic Attack
Melee
320–570 damage. Prayer reduces it by 3x.
Fear the Shadow
Ranged
If the player doesn't move within 5 ticks, deals 650–750 damage (lasts 7 ticks).
Spread the Virus
Magic
135–310 damage. If an infected player is within 2 tiles of another player, they also get infected (lasts 5 ticks).
Embrace the Shadow
Magic
The screen darkens near Nex (more damage) and lightens further away (less damage). Lasts 10 ticks.
Mechanics
Protection prayers switch randomly every 3 attacks — always monitor and react.
Strategy
Nex is where the fight stops being about gear checks and starts being about attention span. Four attacks cycle with a prayer that reshuffles itself every three hits, an infection that spreads if your team clumps up, and a lighting effect that punishes camping too close or too far from the boss.
The reward for surviving it is the Dark Totem set — three pieces per combat style, plus a shield totem, that combine with Titanforged weapons into the 80K-stat Dark Nexus line. Getting a full totem means grinding the Rare table across multiple kills, since each part drops independently at 1/300.
Dark Totems are required to craft Dark Nexus Weapons (80K stats, 4x4 AoE) — collect all 3 parts of a totem to combine them. The Dark Nexus Weapon + Shield set bonus is +10% Critical Damage and +10% Additional Hit Chance.
