Abelazar is a powerful Redguard mage member of the Scaled Court who infiltrated Rahni'Za under the orders of the Celestial Serpent.
He passed through all the trials with flying colors, being the best many of the masters had ever seen, though it was all a trick done through magic as a means to betray the school, killing Master Timen and enslaving the rest of the Sword-Disciples as thralls.
Abelazar can be found in the deepest section of the school, known as the Trial of the True Path, accompanied by two giant snakes, in front of an audience of Trapped Souls.

Skills and AbilitiesEdit
Abelazar uses some abilities from the chillfiend and voidstalker classes, with one extra mechanic involved during the fight.
Before Shroud of DarknessEdit
- Ice Arrow
- A basic ranged attack that does minor frost damage.
- Summon Ice Barrier
- The enemy summons an Ice Barrier that absorbs projectiles fired at it until destroyed. The player should move so that there is a clear line of sight between themselves and the enemy.
- Winter's Reach
- The enemy releases an icy whirlwind in the direction it is facing. This whirlwind does high frost damage and roots all players that it hits. Root effect passes through block, and can be escaped by roll dodging. This attack can be interrupted or simply avoided.
- Void
- The enemy summons a purple orb from the sky that explodes when it hits the ground splitting into three projectiles dealing moderate magic damage. This skill then sends out magic AoEs across the floor called Void Bursts. This attack can be interrupted or simply avoided.
- Void Burst
- These AoEs are released after Void lands, the smaller AoEs deal moderate magic damage.
- Dampen Magic
- Abelazar summons a damage shield that absorbs a small amount of damage.
- "Shroud of Darkness"
- Upon reaching 50% health, Abelazar shrouds the arena in the same lethal darkness that was present on the path to reach him. However, the Guardian of the True Path will once again appear to provide you shelter. Otherwise, standing in the darkness deals massive continuous poison damage which can crit for 50% more damage. Also, Abelazar no longer wields a staff and no longer uses "Ice Arrow' and "Summon Ice Barrier". Instead he now wields dual-swords and uses new abilities.
After Shroud of DarknessEdit
- Quick Strike
- A basic melee attack that does moderate physical damage.
- Veiled Strike
- Abelazar cloaks, becoming untargetable by most attacks, and prepares to slash the target. This attack does high magic damage and will stun the target briefly. This attack can be blocked to set the enemy off balance.
- Teleport Strike
- When standing further away from him, the enemy teleports and stabs the target. This attack does high physical damage and stuns the target briefly.
- Roll Dodge
- Abelazar can roll dodge to avoid attacks.
- Agony
- Abelazar stuns the target for a short time. Taking damage from any source will break the stun, but the target may choose to break free from it instead. After the stun ends, this spell also does moderate magical damage over time to the target. This spell can be interrupted to set the enemy off balance. Blocking will prevent the stun.
- Soul Tether
- Abelazar jumps and casts a rune on the ground. Any targets caught in the AoE attack will take moderate magic damage and be stunned for 4 seconds and healing Abelazar for any damage done.
- Winter's Reach
- Abelazar releases an icy whirlwind in the direction it is facing. This whirlwind does high frost damage and roots all players that it hits. Root effect passes through block, and can be escaped by roll dodging. This attack can be interrupted or simply avoided.
- Void
- Abelazar summons a purple orb from the sky that explodes when it hits the ground splitting into three projectiles dealing high magic damage. This skill then sends out magic AoEs across the floor called Void Bursts. This attack can be interrupted or simply avoided.
- Void Burst
- These AoEs are released after Void lands, the smaller AoEs deal high magic damage.
DialogueEdit
When you enter the chamber Abelazar is in, he can be seen addressing the trapped souls:
- Abelazar: "Forget your former lives. Embrace the power that we give you. Students no more, you are members of the glorious Scaled Court!"
- Abelazar: "Soon your powers will belong to the Serpent. He will use you to bring about his glorious reign."
Entering combat:
- "You can't defeat me. I am a servant of the Scaled Court, herald of the Celestial Serpent! This school belongs to him!"
During combat:
- "Even now, there are those who dare to challenge me. Those who would set you free. Do not believe their lies. Theirs is a false freedom. The only true freedom lies in service to the Serpent!"
- "The Scaled Court claims this place. Do not resist. You will become thralls, just like the Sword-Disciples."
Group party is wiped:
- "The end of the world is unavoidable. Chaos is inevitable. The Serpent wills it so."
Towards the end of the fight, the black mist reappears:
- Guardian of the True Path: "Rahni'za will no longer stand for this corruption. The school will protect those true to its cause!"
- Abelazar: "What? The mist? This should not be possible!"
NotesEdit
- The darkness hazard (named The Trial's Weight) is one of the few instances of PvE damage that can deal critical damage.
BugsEdit
- * As opposed to all other bosses in this instance, Abelazar and his snakes do respawn after being killed.
