Spires of Ascension

Dungeon GuideRetail

Boss abilities and loot tables from Blizzard's own journal, boss by boss.

Floating among the clouds and representing the pinnacle of kyrian ideals, the Spires of Ascension is the Archon's seat of power. Unquestioned and unchallenged for countless eons, the ruler of Bastion has always embodied the virtues of duty and service. But with drought and instability causing fractures in the belief system of the Ascended, the Archon's reign faces an unimaginable peril as one of her most trusted followers falls under the sway of the darkest of evils.

Written notes for this instance are a later milestone. Everything on this page comes from Blizzard's journal data.

Bosses

1. Kin-Tara

While kyrian aspirants had to wait patiently during the anima drought for their overdue ascension, the Forsworn have been unafraid to grant their faithful wings. Kin-Tara proved herself to the dark kyrian and learned to dominate the sky as soon as she ascended. While she stands, the Spires of Ascension will belong to Devos.

Abilities

  • Overview

    Kin-Tara and her companion, Azules defend the rear of the Forsworn forces. Kin-Tara will periodically take to the air and unleash [Charged Spears] before returning to the ground to resume her assault. When either Azule or Kin-Tara are slain, the remaining companion [Enrages], unlocking new abilities.

  • Enrage
  • Kin-Tara

    Kin-Tara takes to the air, periodically hurling [Charged Spears] at random players.

2. Ventunax

Ventunax is one of the deadliest Forsworn constructs, originally designed to test the courage of kyrian aspirants. The Praetorian's movements are so quick she can seem to disappear before her enemies' eyes.

Abilities

  • Overview

    Ventunax, the Dark Kyrian Praetor, is honed to such a razor's edge, and moves with such speed, that she leaves [Shadowhirls] in her wake. Avoid the Dark Bolts emitted from each [Shadowhirl] when Ventunax makes a move. When depleted of Anima energy, Ventunax takes a moment to recharge, while [Shadowhirls] continuously erupt.

  • Shadowhirl
  • Dark Stride
  • Blinding Flash
  • Recharge

Loot

3. Oryphrion

Oryphrion is the firepower in the Paragon of Loyalty's vanguard. The Dark Colossus has dominated the invasion into the city with their Anima fueled artillery, and now fiercely defends the font of power before the Archon's seat.

Abilities

  • Overview

    Oryphrion spends anima to fuel their attacks. Standing in an [Anima Field] will empower Oryphrion and remove the anima cost of abilities. Once Oryphrion hits 0 anima, they become [Drained] and will then [Recharge Anima].

  • Drained
  • Recharge Anima

    Coalesced Anima moves back towards Oryphrion, causing Overcharged Anima if they reach Oryphrion.

  • Empyreal Ordnance

    The Anima Field reduces the Haste of players within it by 20% and inflicts 0 Arcane damage every 1.5 sec. While Oryphrion remains in an Anima Field, the anima cost for their abilities is removed and their damage done is increased by 20%.

  • Purifying Blast
  • Charged Stomp

Loot

4. Devos, Paragon of Doubt

Devos was the very symbol of loyalty until a soul with a troubling past arrived in Bastion. Her doubt overwhelmed her until she fell into open rebellion, aided by the darkest powers of the Shadowlands. Seizing the Spires of Ascension is just the first step, and the destruction of the Archon is now within her grasp.

Abilities

  • Overview

    Devos begins her assault on the ground with the players. Upon reaching 70% and 30% she will slam the Archon's Spear into the Anima Conduit, locking it in place, before taking to the air to control the winds. Only by collecting the [Raw Anima] and returning it to the Archon's Spear can it be unlocked and used to bring Devos back into fight.

  • Archon's Bastion
  • Stage One: Head On

    Players fight Devos, Paragon of Loyalty on the ground.

  • Stage Two: To the Skies

    Devos [Activates] the Anima Conduit, then takes to the skies until she is hit by the Archon's Spear.
