Nulgath the ArchFiend Ultra Boss
New Weekly Challenge Boss, Empowered Rewards, and more!
WARNING: this weekend's ULTRA Boss is not for the faint-hearted or untrained. Log in and take on one of the toughest Ultra bosses released to date: Nulgath the ArchFiend! /join ultranulgath to begin your battle for dark rewards + ultimate bragging rights!
If you've faced this fan-favorite, fiendish underworld boss in /tercessuinotlim before, then you'll be familiar with your opponent... if not his new attacks and skills. And if you want his rewards, get ready -- you're going to have to FIGHT like never before.
Level 80 Heroes: defeat Nulgath to earn 5 Nulgath Insignia per week, then use them to create the long-awaited Sin of Revontheus weapon (creation cost: 5 Nulgath Insignia)!
