Dage the Dark Lord Ultra Boss Battle
After you duel Dage without using his powers, members of the Legion may fight him at full strength. Fight him to earn 5 Dage Insignia per week*, which can be used to upgrade a variety of gear with endgame boosts. This fight is very challenging, and permanent, so take your time to strategize and practice the fight!

Dage the Dark Lord battle tips:
- Making sure to duck under the protection spells when Dage summons a giant undead may save your life, but which one is active is random. Plan ahead to ensure you can reach both, and dash if you need to!
- Noxious Decay will be active for most of the fight, inverting all of your direct (“numbers healing”) heals and HoT’s into damage. Plan around this carefully- there are opportunities to heal.
- After the first minute of the fight, Dage will permanently gain Might of the Legion, significantly strengthening him. That’s when the real battle begins!
- Dage recovers with each soul he consumes, so be wary to keep yours safe…
The full breakdown and boss abilities can be found on the wiki.
