Adventure Guide

After a revelation of traitors in her court, Queen Ansurek decides she must eradicate the palace's invaders herself. However, paranoia over whom she can trust gnaws at her psyche. With her allies dwindling Queen Ansurek may delve into dark powers to attain victory, even if that means her most loyal soldiers become her next meal...

Overview

As the battle begins, Ansurek ejects Reactive Froth and attempts to detonate it with Venom Nova. Eventually, Ansurek tries to feed on her weakened enemies with Predation. After players break her web shield, Ansurek begins ascending to her private chamber and calls reinforcements. They prepare to unleash Cosmic Resonance while Ansurek attacks players from afar. When players breach her private chamber, Ansurek stops casting Acidic Resonance and initiates Aphotic Communion. Using heightened cosmic power, Ansurek intends to consume Acolyte's Essence with Frothing Gluttony.
