Echidna

Echidna is the Moderate boss — the step up from Lamia, and your first real test of keeping your footing while the floor turns against you.

Summoning her

You summon Echidna with Echidna's Coil, forged from 64 Essence of Echidna. That essence drops from mid-tier hunts (T3–T4), or you can buy the Coil outright from the Boss Shop for 7,500 Hunter Points.

Echidna requires Level 60+ to summon — Season 2 replaced the old Hunter T3 gate with a flat level requirement. See Summoning a Boss for the altar and the full ritual.

The fight

Echidna is a venom-and-zone-control fight — a serpent matron who poisons the arena, webs the unwary in place, and seals herself in a brood-cocoon to test whether you can clear the room before time runs out. Most of her damage is telegraphed on the floor, so watch your feet and keep moving. She's a serious step up from Lamia, and a careless player will go down fast.

Like all Season 2 bosses she slowly regenerates when left alone, can't be slowed, and can't be stun-locked — see Boss Fight Mechanics for the shared rules. The rest she keeps to herself; learning her rhythm is half the fight.

Loot

Echidna's drop table was rebuilt for the new map. Felling her can yield exceptional orbs, enchant-orb pulls, boosters, crafting materials like Motes of Ancients and Enchant Dust, and the occasional rare utility item. Her signature reward is Echidna's Strand — a grappling trinket and the rarest pull in her table, also catalogued on the Special Items page.

Her rare drops feed the RNG Meter, so dry streaks edge you toward a guaranteed reward.

The Quantum Entangler, condensed crude ore, Fortune's Dice, and slot expanders are no longer in Echidna's table — the Entangler is now exclusive to the Rift, and condensed ore was removed from the boss pool in the rebuild.

Killing Echidna pays the summoner 1,500 Hunter Points, on top of the loot. If you're chasing the harder fights next, Thanatos is the tier above.
