Frozen Vipercap Caverns

By: Shadovv

Race against time to claim the treasure within this cavern before the vicious Vipercaps
destroy them all!

Time Attack:
This dungeon has the exact same layout as Avalanche Den. The objective is to rush
through the obstacles and kill the boss as fast as possible to claim the best reward. The
Dynamic Quest rewards will decrease after three, four, and five minutes; if this
happens you can leave the dungeon and try again.

When you enter, there is an instant death fire wall and The Suspicious Jar. Wait until
everyone has entered the dungeon and loaded in. Once everyone is ready, break
the Jar. Shortly after, the fire wall ahead will be removed, and the time attack will begin.

There are many Wild Golden Deathcaps ahead that use 3 meter unblockable AoE
vacuums to impede your progress. Use dashing skills, windwalking, movement speed
buffs, etc. to move past them. The Deathcaps are unkillable without utilizing the poison
orb dropped by the nearby Ice Cavern Poisoncaps which die in a single hit, but it’s
better to just run past the Deathcaps.
Giant Golden Vipercap:
HP: 11,000,000
CC Bars: Immune

This boss uses standard Vipercap attacks that do negligible damage, but will Phantom
Grip the tank if they stand out of melee range, so have a Summoner’s Cat or Warlock’s
Thrall keep it taunted.

The boss also passively receives 50% less damage from all attacks. If you are not
very highly geared, do not DPS the boss.

The boss is surrounded by numerous Ice Cavern Poisoncaps. Killing them will drop a
poison orb that can be thrown at the boss, applying a stack of “Mushroom Poison”
dealing damage over time for 10 seconds and stacks 99 times. These stacks are the
main sources of damage, so continuously throwing poison orbs will gradually whittle the
boss’s HP down and eventually kill it.

Periodically a message warns “Giant Golden Monstrosity is spreading golden

spores” and the boss will give everyone a 5 second “Golden Spore” debuff that will
immobilize you for 5 seconds on expiration. Killing the Poisoncaps will release an AoE
that removes this debuff.
