Air Phase - At 66% health and 33% health, Zorc will enter his Air Phase. He will summon Necrofius during the first air phase, and Phades during the second. Zorc cannot be targeted while in the air, and will not re-enter ground phase until the demon he has summoned is defeated.

  • Spell fire moltenblood Diabolic Fissure  —  Trails of fire constantly crawl randomly along the ground, dealing fire damage to anyone caught in them.

Changes in Heroic Mode[]

  • Enters air phase at 75%, 50%, and 25% instead of only at 66% and 33%. During the third air phase at 25%, he will summon both Necrofius and Phades at the same time.

Strategy[]

While on the ground, Zorc will make use of all available abilities. When his health has been reduced by a certain amount, he will fly into the air. Zorc cannot be targeted while in the air, but he will continue to attack the party with ranged fire-based spells. He will summon a powerful demon to attack the party, and will not return to the ground until this demon has been slain.

During the first air phase, he will summon a Dreadlord named Necrofius, the Shadow Magus. During the second, he will summon a Pitlord known as Phades, the Infernal King.

In heroic mode, he will enter a third air phase at 25% health, where he will summon both Necrofius and Phades at the same time. Both demons will have their health and attack power slightly reduced during this phase, but their combined presence will more than make up for their individual weakness.
