Chaos Gate Malathian – How To Beat

Use Criticals To Remove Abilities

Malathian Critical

Critical Attacks allow you to slowly negate Malathian’s offensive capabilities. Prioritize cutting off its parts to disable its attack first. Bring Grey Knights with high critical chance weapons to quickly do this during the first turn. When done correctly, Malathian will mostly use its spread attack to deal damage for most of the fight.

Summons Effigies For Effects & Armor

Effigy of Despair

During the battle, Malathian summons several effigies to either inflict passive debuffs or empower itself. Prioritize them once they get summoned as they can be troublesome in the long run. Have a high-mobility Interceptor with Teleport to go around and eliminate them.

These Effigies also provide a passive +10 Armor to Malathian that stacks. While you can brute force your way through Malathian’s defenses, it may take time and it also regenerates its shield every turn. With that said, destroying the effigy should be your main target once they pop up.

Effigy Effects & Description

  1. Effigy of Despair – All Knights suffer 1 DMG for each WP used, Malathian gains +10 Armor while this Effigy is active.
  2. Effigy of Suffering – All Knights suffer 2 DMG / turn. Malathian gains +10 Armor.
  3. Effigy of Death – All Knights die when their HP is reduced to 0. Malathian gains +10 Armor.
  4. Effigy of Infirmity

Team Composition

  • 1 Paladin / Justicar – to tank damage and keep Malathian occupied. Other characters should be far away from Malathian and either support the tank or hunt down the effigies.
  • 1 Apothecary – heal the tank and help support using ranged fire.
  • 2 Interceptors – hunt down the effigies across the map. Better if Teleport is learned.
  • 1 Purgator / Purifier / Interceptor – Assist the tank and deal with the lesser enemies.
