Champion Spawns
Champion Spawns are among the most challenging PvM encounters on Angel Island. They reward large amounts of gold, high-end magical equipment, and Champion Skulls used to summon the ultimate foe: the Harrower.
Unlike standard OSI-era shards, Angel Island does not award Power Scrolls. Instead, Champions are a primary source of vanquishing weapons, invulnerability armor, rare equipment, and Champion Skulls.
There are three categories of Champion encounters:
- Champion Spawns
- Mini Champion Spawns
- Seasonal Champions
Champion Spawn Mechanics
A Champion Spawn progresses through four increasingly difficult levels of creatures before the Champion itself appears.
Progress is tracked using the Skull Altar located at the center of the spawn area.
Skull Candles
The altar displays both white and red skull candles:
- White Candles indicate progress toward the next red candle.
- Red Candles indicate overall progression toward the Champion.
Progression follows this pattern:
- 5 White Candles = 1 Red Candle
- 4 Red Candles = 1 Spawn Level
If creatures are not killed quickly enough, progression can reverse and the spawn may regress to an earlier stage.
Champion Rewards
Defeating a Champion may reward:
- High-level magical armor
- High-level magical weapons
- Approximately 30,000 gold
- One Champion Skull
Summoning Champions
Most Champion Spawns on Angel Island are player-summoned.
When an altar is ready, it will speak to nearby players indicating that it is available for summoning.
To summon a Champion:
- Place the required sacrifice on the altar.
- Speak:
- "I offer this sacrifice in your name <Champion Name>"
Example:
"I offer this sacrifice in your name Semidar"
Once a spawn has begun and reaches at least one white skull, no additional Champions may be summoned until:
- The Champion is defeated, or
- The spawn regresses completely back to zero progress.
Sacrifice Requirements
| Champion | Sacrifice |
|---|---|
| Barracoon | A wedge or wheel of cheese |
| Neira | 100 Bones |
| Rikktor | 500 of any single gem type |

- Unicorns and Centaurs
- Serpentine Dragons and Angels
Harrower
The Harrower is the ultimate Champion encounter on our shards.
To summon the Harrower, players must collect all six Champion Skulls obtained from the standard Champion Spawns.
The teleporters to the Star Room, which contains the sacrificial altar, are located in the back of the area where Lord Oaks is found.
Required Skulls
| Skull | Champion |
|---|---|
| Greed | Barracoon |
| Pain | Semidar |
| Death | Neira |
| Venom | Mephitis |
| Power | Rikktor |
| Enlightenment | Lord Oaks |
Summoning the Harrower
The Harrower is summoned from the Star Room. Teleportation to the Star Room is located in the valley where Lord Oaks may also be found.
To summon the Harrower:
- Collect all six Champion Skulls.
- Enter the Star Room.
- Place the skulls upon the sacrificial altar.
Once the skulls are placed, a black moongate will appear. This gate will transport you and your allies to the dungeon entrance where the Harrower awaits.
Harrower Rewards
The Harrower provides some of the most valuable rewards available in the game. In addition to traditional Harrower loot, qualified participants will also receive a rare Ethereal Mount.
Ethereal Mounts are bound to their owners through an arcane ethereal bond. Unlike traditional ethereal mounts, these rewards possess a limited bond strength. Each time their owner dies, the bond weakens. When the bond is eventually exhausted, the mount returns to the ether from which it came.
The type of mount awarded is chosen at random:
- Ethereal Horse
- Ethereal Ostard
- Ethereal Llama
These mounts are intended to serve as prestigious trophies of Harrower victories while remaining valuable and meaningful long after the encounter has ended.
Qualifying For Rewards
Not everyone present at a Harrower kill will receive rewards.
To qualify, a player must:
- Contribute a meaningful amount of damage to the encounter.
- Be alive when the Harrower dies.
- Remain within range of the encounter when the Harrower is defeated.
Pet damage counts toward qualification and is credited to the pet's master.
Players who meet these requirements become eligible for Harrower rewards, including both normal Harrower loot and Ethereal Mount rewards.
Fighting the Harrower
The Harrower is a multi-phase Champion encounter. Players should expect a difficult battle requiring coordination, preparation, and strong tactics.
Unlike OSI, our shards do not award Power Scrolls. The Harrower instead serves as the ultimate Champion challenge and a source of high-end rewards.
Mini Champion Spawns
Mini Champion Spawns function similarly to standard Champion Spawns but are designed for smaller groups.
Characteristics:
- Intended for approximately 3-4 players
- Faster progression
- Unique rewards
- Found throughout dungeons and Kin strongholds
To begin a Mini Champion Spawn, locate the activation lever and pull it.
Seasonal Champions
Seasonal Champions are limited-time Champion encounters introduced as part of Angel Island's ongoing Seasonal Champion Campaign.
Unlike traditional Champions, Seasonal Champions often feature custom artificial intelligence, unique mechanics, and rare collectible rewards rather than conventional gold and equipment.

Features:
- Custom AI behavior
