Skills and AbilitiesEdit
Starting the fight, the Noxious Herald will be surrounded by a few Hidden Kindred Alchemist. They can be quickly disposed of. Afterwards the fight will start in earnest with the following abilities being used;
- Creeping Contagion
- When this boss says "Receive the gift of Peryite!", it will mark one player, which will generate a large area-of-effect damage zone after it grows. The player should run to a far corner and allow the mark to go off, while the boss and adds are lured to the other side of the arena.
- Plague Ring
- An AoE shaped like a ring will appear around random players, and releases the poison/disease attack after a few seconds. Move away from other players so they don't get hit.

This is marked by the Herald saying "Lord Peryite, grant your blessing to your loyal servant." and summoning several Peryite's Blessings and Hidden Kindred.
