The Talos of Concrete

The Talos of Concrete is a 40-player Open Raid encounter available during the Anniversary Event in Agartha.

Tier 1

Task Description

Gaia forms elemental constructs to test and reward her champions, but something went wrong... and the hulking automaton turned deadly. Fortunately, you helped bring this corrupted Talos down before it could cause undue harm. Now claim your reward.

Objective: Collect your reward

Upon defeating the Concrete Talos, the raid mission The Talos of Concrete will be applied to all participants in the instance. Within seconds of receiving the mission, it automatically completes.

Defeating the Concrete Talos gives the buff Anima Surge, which allows a player to open a [Buzzing Hive] during its 10 minute duration. Only one [Buzzing Hive] can be opened per Anima Surge effect.

Agartha will expel players from the raid instance shortly after defeating the Concrete Talos within. Removal from the instance is staggered to reduce server lag, so some players will be teleported out first and others may have to wait a few seconds to leave the instance.

The Talos of Concrete gives a [Genizah of Concrete] upon turn-in. In addition, it rewards 1 [Animated Particulate] for First-Time Completion. This mission has a 30-minute cooldown.

General Information

The Concrete Talos

The Immaculate Machine has initiated the education protocols, desiring to teach Her bees how to best protect Her. Unfortunately for the bees, something has corrupted all of the Talos of Gaia that have been created for teaching purposes, including the Concrete Talos.

The Concrete Talos is one of the 40-player Open Raid encounters accessible in Agartha through the Vibrant Agartha instance, which will always contain 1 Talos of Gaia raid boss out of a total of 11 different Talos of Gaia raid bosses found within Vibrant Agartha. Every hour at 00:02 minutes past the hour, the portal to Vibrant Agartha becomes active for 10 minutes. While bosses inside may last after that period of time, no more may enter to face a Talos once those 10 minutes have passed. An instance of Vibrant Agartha will close 30 minutes after the first player has entered that instance regardless of whether or not the Talos of Gaia is engaged in combat.

The Talos of Gaia present within Vibrant Agartha rotates every hour.

There are no level requirements necessary to enter and face the Concrete Talos. A player only needs to have met Jack Boone in Kingsmouth Town in order to participate in the raid.

Vibrant Agartha

The portal to Vibrant Agartha can be found between the Agartha Pad to the Training Grounds and the Transylvania region just outside of the Hollowed Halls (550,250). It is festively decorated with balloons, piñatas, and streamers.

Equal Footing

Players within Vibrant Agartha are buffed with Equal Footing so that their stats are scaled evenly regardless of their level or item power.

Abilities and Mechanics

Immune to CC

The Concrete Talos is permanently immune to Stuns, Knock Downs, Obstruction, Roots, and Snares.

Solemn Statue / Rock Solid

The Concrete Talos is a Solemn Statue that is Rock Solid and is thus capable of more penetrating hits when its target is suffering impairment effects. As Penetration is not a valid stat in Secret World Legends, the Concrete Talos is not able to benefit from its Rock Solid hits.

Rock Pound

The Talos of Concrete is composed of such strong cement, rebar, and stone that it pounds its rock upon its foes with such immense pressure that its Rock Pound grants it increased critical chance to strike its target is suffering impairment effects when struck by the Concrete Talos' generic attack. The Concrete Talos' foe must be Hindered by a movement impairment effects such as a Root, Snare, or Slow; however, Gaia does not want the Concrete Talos to crush her Sweetlings with Her love too tightly, and so the Talos is incapable of Hindering anyone and thus incapable of benefiting from Rock Pound.

Previously, Rock Pound was able to make use of Impaired effects such as Stuns, Knock Aways, Obstructions, and Silences.

Rock Clash

The Concrete Talos leaps up into the air and slams its great fists down in a Rock Clash centered on a target within 7 meters of the Talos. The Rock Clash is a 360 degree 5-hit MultiHit GTAoE with a 7 meter radius and a 4 second cast time and 10 second recast time. Rock Clash is initially cast 3 seconds after engaging the Concrete Talos in combat, with subsequent casts adhering to the 10 second recast time.

Anyone hit by the Rock Clash will be hit 5 times for a large amount of physical damage and be Stunned for 5 seconds. The impair Stunned is subject to Diminishing Returns and will be weaker on subsequent afflictions of Stunned within a short 14 second timeframe.

Seismic Wave

In its fury, the Concrete Talos smashes the ground in front of it to create a Seismic Wave. The Seismic Wave is a 180 degree PBAoE in a frontal cone with a 15 meter radius that has a 2 second cast time and a 15 second recast time.

A total maximum of 5 players hit by Seismic Wave will receive a large amount of physical damage and be Knocked Down and unable to act for 3 seconds. The knock away of Knocked Down is subject to Diminishing Returns and will be weaker on subsequent afflictions of Knocked Down within a short 14 second timeframe.

Rebar's Revenge

The vengeful Talos of Concrete rips pieces of Agartha beneath its feet and eagerly enacts Rebar's Revenge by launching the debris into the air. Rebar's Revenge has a 2 second cast time and 15 second recast time and is cast in a 360 degree PBAoE with a 6 meter radius capable of hitting 1 foe alongside a 360 degree PBAoE with a 50 meter radius capable of hitting up to 8 foes. Rebar's Revenge is initially cast 1.5 seconds after engaging the Concrete Talos in combat, with subsequent casts adhering to the 15 second recast time.

A total maximum of 9 players within the Rebar's Revenge PBAoE radii will have a 360 degree GTAoE with a 2 second cast time and a 3 meter radius at their location. At the end of those 2 seconds, all Rebar's Revenge GTAoE will hit with a ranged strike and deal a moderate amount of physical damage to anyone within their radii as the projectile debris comes crashing down.
