Blackscale the Destroyer

Blackscale the Destroyer is a boss that players can fight during Edrian Belerius' introduction level during the Wrath of the Dragon campaign. Blackscale is a very straightforward, but rather challenging boss, who is fought in an area very tightly packed with enemies.

Lore

Blackscale the Destroyer is a champion of Lord Vesolath's right hand: Malak the Deceiver. Malak chose Blackscale to be the one to lead the small attack force against the village of Aqueous Cove in Lasonia, in at attempt to kill the Dragonblood Mage, to prevent him interfering with Lord Vesolath's plans. Unbeknownst to any of Vesolath's forces, Lucian had already returned to Cendall when the attack commenced, and was the only survivor of the attack along with his brother, Edrian. Edrian was the last defender of the village, and was the one to put an end to Blackscale and his forces after the village had been razed to the ground.

Boss Battle

The Destroyer's boss battle is a very straightforward, yet quite challenging one. Firstly, the boss is located in an area very tightly packed with enemies, so facing him completely alone is very unlikely. Secondly, after being engaged he will repeatedly summon flame strikes underneath the player's location, which will leave patches of fire over an area for a fairly long amount of time, greatly restricting the amount of safe ground for the player.
