Where The Quarry-Reeve waits
The Quarry-Reeve holds the gates at depths 2,600, 2,800, 3,000 in The Salt Quarry, sharing the zone's 100-depth gate rhythm with The Pillar of Salt.
What The Quarry-Reeve is
The Quarry-Reeve is a Wight: it swings an axe, and the body asks for burst damage — it heals as it fights. As a boss it wears the type's defences at 35%, carries no status of its own, and enrages below half health: it hits harder and moves faster.
The Quarry-Reeve by the numbers
The card at each gate — health, damage per swing, armour and the modifiers it rolls — straight from the game's spawn table. On the floor the boss leads with 60% of the card's health and 60% of its damage, before the road's own pressure.
What those modifiers do
EXPOSING- every blow cuts your resistances by 15 for 4 s
THICK-SKINNED- Overwhelm and armor you ignore count at half
DEADLY- +20% critical strike chance
OF POWER- gains a Power charge on every hit it lands: +200% critical chance each, up to 3
ARMORED- Armour ×1.9, at the cost of 5% of its health
SUNDERING- every blow cuts your armor by 30% for 4 s
ROTPROOF- +75% chaos resistance (capped at 75%)
OF FLAMING DEATH- leaves a pool of fire where it falls
CORRUPTING- a third of its damage is chaos
VENOMOUS- +35% chance to poison you
OF DAMAGING- the pack within 4.5 tiles hits 25% harder
DENSE- takes 60% less from damage over TIME, and double from hits
Modifiers are rolled per depth and are the same for every player. Bosses always carry at least 3 and never a pace modifier (SWIFT, BRUTE), so a boss's swing rhythm is its own; of the seals only the walls — BLOODLESS, INERT, ASHEN, ETHEREAL, DENSE — ride a boss. The full list is in Enemy modifiers.
At its first gate The Quarry-Reeve leads with 71,405,010 health, against 38,052,072 for the leader one floor above, and swings every 1.25s.
What a gate floor is
A gate is a floor like any other, with the boss leading its last pack. Nothing below it opens until the floor is cleared. A lost floor costs nothing; you can fight it again. How a floor is fought is under Combat.
