The elite inner circle of Angerboda.
Dungeon Journal
Angerboda's most powerful servants, raised from the ranks of the vrykul honored dead. For millennia they have held unending vigil in the resting place of their people, but without a second thought Angerboda exhumed their corpses and ripped their souls from their slumber to reanimate them as her personal guard. Bregga Rimeblood, Skadi the Damned, Thorlief the Thunderer, Svetlana Sorrowgrave, Nodens One-Eye, and Fengris Wulfblood stand ready to slaughter the living in Angerboda's name.
The Encounter
- Link of Reanimation — The Chosen are linked to one another in body, and have a shared health pool. When slain, they will reappear as Spirits. Three Chosen will have this at the beginning of the encounter.
- Link of Resurrection — The Chosen are linked to one another in soul, and will resurrect a slain Chosen with 33% of their health if they are not slain within 10 seconds of each other. The three remaining Chosen will have this when the first three have fallen.
- Spirit Infusion — Any Chosen that is a Spirit may attempt to infuse themselves into a living Chosen. If a Spirit successfully infuses into a Chosen, the Chosen is granted a bonus ability for 25 seconds. They also receive the permanent buff Chosen Infusion, which increases their damage by 10%. Chosen Infusion stacks. Players can intercept an infusion by moving into the spirit as it attempts to infuse into a Chosen. If a player intercepts the Spirit Infusion, they will absorb the spirit instead and become Mind Controlled for 15 seconds. They will also be afflicted with the debuff Weakened Spirit, which extends the time of subsequent mind control by 5 seconds per stack.
