The Talos of Magma

In dedication to my beloved cat Sami, who was always by my side for all of her 21 years of life. The Talos of Magma marks the final mission guide worked on alongside my sweet Sami. You were the light of my life and your love burned so bright. Thank you, Sami, for everything. - Vomher

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

Tier 1

Objective: Collect your reward

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

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

General Information

The Magma 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 Magma Talos.

The Magma 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 Magma 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.

Immune to CC

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

Candescence

As the quintessential lava golem, the Magma Talos is has Candescence and leeches health from its targets if its targets are afflicted by Damage Over Time effects such as Burning when the Magma Talos hits them; however, as Gaia does not want the Magma Talos to set Agartha ablaze, the Talos is incapable of Burning anyone. With no afflictions on its foes, the Magma Talos cannot benefit from its Candescence.

While all lava golems have Condescence / Scalding Crust, the Magma Talos lacks a visual buff icon for Candescence / Scalding Crust due to its inability to trigger the Candescence portion of its fire aura.

Scalding Crust

The fiery aura of the Magma Talos' Scalding Crust of lava causes anyone damaging it to receive a small amount of elemental magical damage from its Scalding Crust in exchange. Scalding Crust deals an average of 4000 damage and can only be inflicted once every 0.95 seconds per foe.

Over the course of combat, Scalding Crust can be deadly.

Erupt

The Talos of Magma is quick to Erupt during the heat of combat. Erupt is an 8 second channelled PBAoE with a 1 second channeling interval, and an instant cast time and 10 second recast time.

Every second of Erupt, 3 random points within a 25 meter radius around the Magma Talos will Erupt with a 360 degree GTAoE cast onto those points. After 3 seconds, the GTAoE points themselves Erupt and deal massive physical damage to any entity within their 3 meter radii.

Anything hit by Erupt will be Knocked Down for 2 seconds. Knocked Down is subject to Diminishing Returns and will be weaker on subsequent afflictions of Knocked Down within a short 14 second timeframe.
