Echo of Tyros
Echo of Tyros (in game, Echo of Tyros, First Flamebearer) is the fire mage that haunts the Citadel, a black castle in the Nether. It fights with a scythe and fire magic. It is an Act III boss.
Location#
The Citadel (irons_spellbooks:citadel) generates in the same Nether biomes as Bastion Remnants, at most once per 100 × 100 chunk area. Under its glass dome stands a Cinderous Soul Rune. Ringing a Cinderous Soulcaller next to the rune summons Echo of Tyros.
Stats#
Echo of Tyros’s level is fixed at 100, so its stats never change. See Mob Levels.

| Armor | 15 | 31.3 |
| Knockback resistance | 80% | 80% |
| Spell power | 125% | 125% |

| Damage cap | 20% of max health per second (6,140 HP), so a kill takes at least 5 s |
Attacks#
| Attack | Notes |
|---|---|
| Scythe combos | Horizontal slashes, down- and side-slashes, a spinning slash and a jumping combo. |
| Backpedal | |
| Parry | Blocks with its off hand. |
| Fiery daggers | Summons flaming daggers. |

At half health it switches to a “soul” mode and uses a special attack. Its stance can be broken.
Strategy#
- Don’t use fire magic. It resists fire spells even more than other spells.
- Sustained damage beats burst. The damage cap blocks anything above 6,140 HP in a second.

Find Structure: Citadel (Act III)
The Citadel is a new Structure in the Nether, its a big black Castle with a Glass Dome at the top. In the middle of the Dome is a Block called Cinderous Soul Rune. You need to craft a Cinderous Soulcaller, ring it next to that Block, defeat the Spawning Boss and then he drops the Decrepit Key. There are Vaults all over the Citadel, they work just like trial chamber vaults/keys. You should get Pyrium from those Vaults
