Ignis
Ignis is the Sin of the Flame, a burning knight with a sword and shield that guards the Burning Arena. It is one of the Eight Sins of Act III, the eight L_Ender’s Cataclysm bosses that guard the way to Act IV (see The Eight Sins).
At level 250 it is far above any player’s level, and Soulrend limits it to losing 5% of its health per second, so every fight lasts at least 20 s.
Location#
Ignis lives in the Burning Arena (cataclysm:burning_arena). In Soulrend, Cataclysm Dimensions moves this structure into its own dimension, the Inferno’s Maw (cataclysm_dimension:cataclysm_infernos_maw). Shift-right-clicking with an Eye of Flame teleports the player there. See Cataclysm Dimensions.
The Eye of Flame needs Burning Ashes, which Ignited Berserkers drop in Nether Fortresses (25%).
Stats#
Ignis’s level is fixed at 250, so its stats never change. Cataclysm’s config multiplies its base health by 1.2 and its attack damage by 1.3 before the level bonus applies. See Mob Levels.
| Stat | Base | Level 250 |
|---|---|---|
| Health | 450 HP (×1.2 = 540) | 40,878 HP (20,439 hearts) |
| Attack damage | 14 (×1.3 = 18.2) | 471.4 |
| Armor | 10 | 37.4 |
| Knockback resistance | 100% | 100% |
| Movement speed | 0.33 | 0.33 |
| Follow range | 50 blocks | 50 blocks |
| Damage cap | 5% of max health per second (2,043.9 HP), so a kill takes at least 20 s |
It takes no damage from attackers more than 150 blocks away.
Attacks#
| Attack | Notes |
|---|---|
| Sword swings, pokes and combos | |
| Shield smash and body checks | |
| Smash and reinforced smash (also from the air) | |
| Spin attack | |
| Earth Shudders | |
| Counter and strike | |
| Magic attack | |
| Ultimate attack |
Ignis fights in three phases. It blocks with a shield that can be broken, and it has soul-fire versions of several attacks.
Strategy#
- Plan for a long fight. The 5% damage cap means at least 20 s of fighting however much damage the party deals. Damage over that limit is wasted.
- Stay within 150 blocks. Attacks from farther away deal no damage.
Drops#
| Item | Count | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Ignitium Ingot | 3 | Always |
| Music Disc | 1 | 10% (+10% per Looting level) |
| Flame-Tempered Handguard | 1–2 | 40%, rolled twice |
| None Scroll (Meteor Storm) | 1 | 30% |
| None Scroll (Burning Judgment) | 1 | 50% |
| item.apotheosis.gem (Gem of the Infernal Overlord) | 1 | Player kill: 50% Epic, 25% Mythic, 5% Ancient |
“Rolled twice” means the item appears in both the Soulrend loot table and the Traveloptics table added to it, so it can drop twice. Spell scrolls hold the named Traveloptics spell at a random level.
