Lord Styx the Night Champion V Blood Carriers (Gloomrot)

In-game Description

A legendary vampire from the age of Dracula. He was one of only a handful of loyalists bold enough to be well beyond enemy lines when the barrier of darkness was erected over Farbane. Thinking himself abandoned by his allies to the forces of humanity, he has not since forgotten this betrayal.

Description

Lord Styx the Night Champion, a Level 83 V Blood Carrier, can be found encircling a giant Blood Crystal at Dracula’s Demise, just south of Gloomrot. Once a loyalist from Dracula’s age, Styx has not forgotten the betrayal he felt when abandoned by his allies. Defeating him unlocks the Bat Form vampire power, and recipes for Onyx Tear and Blood Key.

His attacks include Double Kill, Death Spin, Lunge, Bat Swarm, Gargoyles, Ultimate Power, Jump, and Teleport. To defeat Styx, players should use Ward of the Damned, Veil of Blood, Blood Fountain, and Raging Tempest spells, and prioritize healing. Recommended equipment includes dark silver tier weapons, a full bloodmoon set, and a blood merlot amulet.

Trivia

• On April 3rd, 2024, it was announced that Styx would receive a character rework. The V Rising X Account made a post about Styx, which included an image captioned “Lord Styx The Night Champion” and the text: “A legendary vampire from the age of Dracula. Known for his fierce loyalty and the havoc he wreaked on the battlefield against paladins and rival vampires alike, he has earned his place as a Night Champion of the Legion of Noctum. His presence over the operation at the heart of Dracula’s Demise must be of vital importance to Dracula’s plans.”
• Prior to the 1.0 Update, Styx was named “Nightmarshal Styx the Sunderer.”
