Last update: 21 June 2022
Necromance's Origin is the second Tier 1 Abyssal Dungeon. This is one of two Ancient Elveria dungeons in Lost Ark. On this page you will learn the boss fights mechanics and how to complete this dungeon. To enter it, you need at least 340 ilvl.
Reanimated Garum
Reanimated Garum is the first boss of this dungeon. It comes in the form of a dragon. His common attack is an area skill involving two zones: around the boss and a round field further away. He also sometimes performs a similar attack involving one big zone. In addition, he likes to use his tail to knock back players who are attacking the boss from behind. He also uses an area attack to the sides, often followed by a second one forwards and backwards.
The enemy's special fast skill imposes a Death Gaze curse on nearby players. The curse stacks up. If any character accumulates 5 debuffs, there will be a wipe - the death of all players.
Orbs appear with each boss's attack. It's recommended to determine beforehand the order in which you will all collect the orbs, so that no one picks up 5 Death Marks.
Curse markers are visible above the mana bar and above the players' heads. To get rid of the debuff, find the golden orb in the arena and interact with it. This will remove the curse, but only for the player who used the orb. Orbs can also be spotted on the mini-map, so hiding it is not worth it.
Sigmund the Immortal
The second boss is difficult, but you also have more time to beat it. Sigmund the Immortal has numerous area attacks including one that covers the entire arena, except for the area near the boss. He can also summon meteorites that make the struck area contaminated. The enemy is also very swift. One of his attacks involves teleporting to another location and targeting an area attack at his previous position. When you see that the boss is about to perform this attack, move backwards - do not run to the sides.
Even if your character has long-range attacks covering large areas, it's recommended to stay close to the boss. This makes dodging easier ability and allows for a much quicker reaction in the Stagger Check stage.
The key mechanic of this fight is Stagger Check, which begins after about 3 minutes of fighting, when the boss charges a wipe spell that will kill all players. You cannot avoid it other than by attacking the enemy with High Stagger skills and/or High-Stagger grenades (e.g. Clay/Whirlwind Grenade). The reddening area is what marks the beginning of this stage of the fight. An orange bar below the boss will appear too.
The second mechanic starts when the boss has 1 health point left. He is then untouchable. Orbs of two colors will appear on the four sides of the arena. Each player should interact with an orb of the same color as the shockwave that appeared when the boss was knocked down. The arena is of the same color now too. After that, you will have to finish off the boss. If you fail, the enemy will regain much of their health and become slightly stronger, but you will still be able to try again.
Keep in mind, however, that if the color is white, you will still see red streaks on the screen, but they are not related to the color choice and are just an additional effect of the boss's spell.
As a comparison, the screenshot above shows a red arena, meaning you must collect red orbs to defeat the boss.
