Location
The Herald of the Flame appears exclusively on Molten Sands Fortress during the final chapter of The Herald of the Flame Adventure.
Attacks
The Herald of the Flame shares most of his moveset with other Ashen Lord but features a number of unique abilities as well.
- Melee Attack - The most basic out of all the attacks, the Herald of the Flame will strike any players who get too close to them, causing moderate damage and knocking them back.
- Fire Breath - The Herald of the Flame tries to distance all nearby players by spewing out flames arond their mouth akin to a flamethrower. Any players within range of the breath attack will take heavy damage. This attack also sets the Herald of the Flame on fire, dealing fire damage all around them.
- Lunge Attack - The Herald of the Flame attempts to close the distance between them and the player by jumping towards them, dealing moderate damage and knocking them back when hit.
- Boulder Throw - There are two versions of this attack: a small quickly thrown rock or a larger boulder that can reach remarkable distances. The smaller rock throws do not have voice-lines. The larger boulders deal considerable damage and set hit players on fire. It seems that both of these attacks can be cancelled with damage.
- Summon Phantoms - The Herald of the Flame summons a number of Reaper Phantoms to fight for him.
- Ash Cloud - The Herald of the Flame will cast a thick and wide cloud of Ash that drastically lowers visibility around the Herald and outside. Everything inside the Ash Cloud will have an auditory echo to it.
- Shockwave - The Herald of the Flame gains access to this attack during the second phase. They will gather strength and pound the ground with a fiery blast, setting any nearby players on fire, dealing heavy damage and sending them flying in the air. The closer players are to the Herald, the more damage this attack will deal. Since players are thrown high in the air, they will also receive fall damage unless they have their back to a wall or are in water. Unlike the Skeleton Lord shockwave attack, this attack also damages the masts, capstan and wheel of any nearby ships.
- Volcanic Eruption (Sky) - The Herald gains access to this attack during the final phase. They will kneel and summon a volcanic eruption out of the sky, while also using the Fire Breath attack the whole time. Making any close attacks risky. During this attack, like under a Volcanic eruption, all the surrounding water will become superheated, geysers will appear on the Island itself and volcanic Rocks will fly from the skies, often instantly killing any hit players. This attack is also devastating to any nearby ships.
- Volcanic Eruption (Land) - Additionally, the Herald can cause the Volcano on Molten Sands Fortress itself to erupt, causing the water to superheat and rocks to fall from the sky. This attack differs from an Ashen Lord's normal volcanic eruption as the Herald of the Flame can otherwise continue to move and attack during this move.
