New to this year's Hallow's End event, the Headless Horseman fight has been changed, with the addition of hard mode mechanics! These mechanics can be activated to make the fight harder in exchange for more rewards. Learn how to activate the new hard modes for the Headless Horseman and the rewards for doing so in this post.
Headless Horseman Hard Mode Basics
To enable the hard mode for the Headless Horseman encounter, you must talk to the Wicker Men located just to the left when you zone into Scarlet Monastery. You can talk with each smaller Wicker Men to get one of the curses, or the big ominous Wicker Man in the middle to get all 4 curses at once!
Each curse adds an additional ability to the encounter that requires you to either dodge new obstacles or execute mechanics.
Activating hard mode applies a PERSONAL debuff to you only
, so you can take on the challenge by yourself and not affect any other party members.
Once you curse yourself, you will have a debuff showing what curses you have active.
Glutfluch
- Cursed enemies emit Shadowflame around their location periodically. Each blast inflicts a stack of Wicker Man's Shadow.
Verfluchter Hitzkopf
- Cursed enemies suffer dark hallucinations manifesting in front of their location. Moving to the hallucination dispels it. Ignoring the hallucination inflicts two stacks of Wicker Man's Shadow to the enemy.
Schattenfluch
- Insidious Cackle shackles the souls of cursed enemies in fear. The shackled soul slowly moves towards consuming flames. Souls that reach the flames before their shackles are destroyed inflict two stacks of Wicker Man's Shadow to the afflicted enemy.
Dornige Überraschung
- Piercing thorns erupt under cursed enemies periodically. Enemies hit by the thorns suffer a stack of Wicker Man's Shadow.
Failing to dodge a curse ability or execute the mechanic will result in the cursed target getting a stack of Wicker Man's Shadow. Getting hit once or twice is usually not that big of a deal as you only use a percentage of your health, but getting hit too much will make surviving a lot harder...
Schatten des Weidenmanns
- The Wicker Men delight in the target's suffering, reducing the target's maximum health by 10% per stack.
Surviving is also key - The Wicker Men will protect you from dying, but in doing so, you will lose their curses - And any additional rewards.
Schutz des Weidenmanns
- The Wicker Men have prevented your death, reducing damage taken and restoring your health. Additionally, their curses have been lifted, forfeiting their rewards.
Headless Horseman Hard Mode Rewards
Defeating the Headless Horseman while all four wicker curses are active for the first time grants the achievement
Ritter aus Weiden-schaft
.
In addition to the achievement, killing the Headless Horseman on the first character for the day with any curses active will increase your chances of obtaining rare loot from the
Beutegefüllter Kürbis
, such as (but not limited to)
Die Zügel des Reiters
,
Arfus
and
Windgeborener Velocidrache: Schlotternachtsrüstung
! The more curses you have active, the more chances to loot any of the rare items.
Zinsus: Is there an increased chance on the first kill of the day for the headless horseman mount? Yes, and the first drop of the day receives a bonus likelihood that scales with the number of curses you apply.
