Gate of Parched Hopes Overview

Gate of Parched Hopes Objectives

Defeat The Hossberg Wetlands Champion

How to Beat The Disciple In-Ichor

Head to the Old Crossroads region of the Hossberg Wetlands. There you'll see a giant Blight Cyst housing the Disciple In-Ichor. Defeat all of the normal enemies first before releasing the champion.

Watch for Its AoE Attack

This champion has a modified version of the usual Ogre's moveset. It has two unique attacks. The first one is a teleporting overhead slam, while the second one is having an explosive aura.

The Disciple In-Ichor will usually use his teleport move to reposition itself, while its explosive aura goes off every few seconds. You can only evade to avoid damage, so this will be a drawn out battle if you have a melee class.

Fortunately, this boss is weak to Fire damage, so bringing both Davrin and Taash can make things fairly easy for you. Have them both equipped with the invulnerability so you to face tank hits and get in some nice attacks.

Return to The Crossroads

Once you have the essence, return to The Crossroads and back to the Elvhenan's Haven region.

Unseal the Gate of Parched Hopes to gain access to and fight the Revenant - Slaughter of The Pillars, which also progresses the Heart of Corruption side quest.
