Revenant Horror

Revenant Horror is the boss of the Zombie Slayer, the first slayer, which is open from the start.¹ You start a quest with Maddox the Slayer below the Tavern in the Hub, or from anywhere with a Maddox Batphone or an Abiphone; only one slayer quest can run at a time.¹ Killing zombies (in the Graveyard, the Hub Crypts and the Deep Caverns, among other places) fills the quest's Combat XP bar, and then the boss appears.²

The fight

• Revenants ignore potion effects, and arrows heal them.³
• Like every slayer boss it regenerates fast when it hasn't hit you for a while, and if you or it stay on one block too long it slams you for true damage. After 3 minutes it despawns and the quest fails. It also despawns at once if it walks into the Village.³
• Tier I drains your health; tier II adds a damage aura that also shreds your armor.³
• Tiers III–IV turn "Mad" after 40 seconds and enrage 5 seconds later, moving faster and hitting much harder for 12 seconds.³
• Tier V is the Atoned Horror: immune to ability damage, it regenerates on its own and lobs TNT at a circle marked under you, healing when the TNT hits. Below a third of its health it throws twice as often, and about every 30 seconds it roots itself and releases lightning that kills anything within 7 blocks.³

Slayer XP and the RNG meter

Only a boss you spawned yourself gives you Slayer XP.¹ Levels unlock recipes and permanent stats, and level 8 unlocks a perk of its own for each slayer.¹

The RNG meter fills with the Slayer XP of tier III and higher bosses.⁴ Choose one drop as its target: its chance grows from 1× to 3× as the meter fills and becomes certain when it's full. Getting the item takes its cost off the meter.⁴ A full meter still can't give a drop that the boss tier you're fighting doesn't have.¹
