Lamia

A cursed serpent queen who commands mirrors and clones, Lamia is the easiest of the four bosses — the right first summon for a new hunter. Her difficulty label is simply Easy.

Summoning

  • Key: Lamia's Tear, forged from 64 Essence of Lamia — the lowest-tier shade, wraith and caravan drops (T1–T2). Also sold in the Boss Shop for 5,000 Hunter Points.
  • No level gate. Lamia stays open to every player — there's no Hunter-rank requirement, so she's where most hunters start. (The other three — Echidna, Thanatos and Hephaestus — each gained a gate this season.)

See Summoning a Boss for the full altar flow.

The fight

Lamia stalks one fighter at a time and switches targets as the fight goes on. She bites to drain life, dashes along the ground, and twice during the fight scatters into a ring of identical mirror-clones — cut them down and the illusion shatters. She holds her bigger abilities back at first, so the opening moments are tame, but she hits hard once she gets going. Come prepared, and you'll find out the rest at the altar.

Like all bosses this season, Lamia slowly regenerates when left alone, can't be slowed, and can't be stun-locked — your own crowd control won't chain on her.

Drops

All loot goes to the summoner. Her loot table was rebuilt for the new map and now centers on a small, high-value spread: a max-level Efficiency exceptional orb, enchanting materials, a booster box, and her signature chase drop, Lamia's Veil — a rare pull worth hunting for.

Condensed crude ore, Fortune's Dice and slot expanders are no longer in her table — the S2 rebuild and condensed-ore removal cleared them out.

Killing her pays the summoner 500 Hunter Points (a fix this season corrected the old Echidna/Lamia swap). Chasing the Veil? Track it on the RNG Meter (/rngmeter).

Version history

v2.0.0

  • Lamia stays open as the introductory boss — no level gate, while Echidna, Thanatos and Hephaestus each gained one.
  • She no longer drops Condensed Crude Ore (moved to Erebus Pit crafting).
  • Loot table rebuilt for the new map, around its signature drop — Lamia's Veil.
  • Fixed Lamia awarding Echidna's Hunter Points — she now correctly gives 500.
  • Now slowly regenerates when left alone, can't be slowed, and can't be stun-locked (shared boss changes).
