The Sunless Cell

"Some creatures of the Hive strain against the Will of Oryx. Alak-Hul the Darkblade is one such. Long ago he fomented rebellion against the King, and attempted to take his mantle. Alak-Hul failed, and now awaits the 'mercy' of the Hive. Given the chance, the Darkblade will step in to take Oryx's crown. We must not allow another Prince to rise." - Eris Morn

The Sunless Cell is unlocked by accepting Successor to the Throne, a quest that is received from Eris Morn after completing Regicide.

Mechanics

This encounter takes place in total darkness. The boss moves very slowly and wields only a single melee attack, but will teleport around the arena at random intervals. Note that thrall and Cursed Thrall will pour into the arena at fixed HP intervals. Once the boss' HP has been reduced to ~15%, his helmet will break. While this increases the boss' susceptibility to precision damage, it also significantly increases his movement speed, aggression, and damage potential.
