How to Beat Ahriman

Run Out of Circle During Insta-Kill Doom Attack

Ahriman's Doom attack begins when 4 blue orbs appears around you. These orbs act as a 4-second countdown and when they all disappear, a large red circle/ring will appear around you. Immediately head out of this circle/ring, since the inside of the ring will explode after a couple of seconds.

Taking the damage from inside the circle will cause Clive to instantly die.

Description
A member of the Bloodaxes stationed at Martha's Rest reported that he had been set upon in the marshes by an otherworldly horror with a single, staring eye. It flew at him on bony bats' wings, scratching him with claws black as night, and sharp as razors. Naturally, he fled in terror - but if a battle-hardened Bloodaxe cannot cope with the mere sight of such a creature, what hope do the rest of us have?
