The Venomous Abyss
The Venomous Abyss Race to World First Coverage
Surviving more than 300 pulls over several days of progression, the Coiled Altar has been a grueling penultimate encounter reminiscent of Mug'zee in the Liberation of Undermine and Tindral of Amirdrassil: a brick wall holding all top ten race competitors at the same position. While the first nerf significantly reduced the Phase 2 DPS check, the second nerf was quickly reverted, keeping players in a long slog against an inordinately difficult boss that required vantus runes, near perfect play, and even a little luck to overcome the encounter RNG. Although not the hardest in terms of raw pulls, the Coiled Altar now holds a distinction as the most difficult second-to-last boss in terms of total progression time.
