Hey there! So you've heard about Avarice, The Gold Cursed, huh? This guy's a bit of a wild card – he's a world boss that pops up randomly. Think of him as part of a special club with Ashava and Wandering Death. When you see a world boss event timer on your map, you can usually tell who it's going to be by the animation as they spawn in. If you see golden lightning crackling from the ground, that's your cue: it's Avarice time!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When the fight starts, Avarice will portal in. Keep your eyes peeled for his attacks – dodging is key here.
  2. 2
    First up, watch out for his Spin Attack. He'll lower his mace and treasure chest, giving you just a moment to react. Your best bet is to always try and stay behind him.
  3. 3
    He also has an Uppercut where he lunges forward with his mace. Stay out of the direct path in front of him.
  4. 4
    Avarice likes to use Portals. He'll charge off, disappear into a golden portal, and then pop out somewhere else to charge again. Just be ready to reposition.
  5. 5
    Around the 1-milestone HP mark, he starts to Spew Gold. These golden pools on the ground are like poison – don't stand in them unless you want to take damage.
  6. 6
    Once he's past 75% HP, he can summon Gold Pillars under players. You'll see an AOE circle marking where they'll explode. Get out of that zone ASAP! If they spawn too close together, you might need some serious movement skills to escape.
Tips
  • Always try to position yourself behind Avarice to avoid most of his frontal attacks.
  • Pay close attention to the ground indicators for the Spew Gold pools and Gold Pillars – they're your main source of avoidable damage.
  • Don't forget that after you defeat Avarice, his Treasure Chest is still there! Give it a whack for some extra gold, gems, and maybe even a bonus piece of gear.

After defeating Avarice, make sure to interact with his Treasure Chest. You'll get some extra gold, gems, and potentially an extra piece of gear. It's a nice little bonus for taking down a tough world boss!
