The Drought is a boss found in the Rilohn Refuge mission.

Missions

• Kourna
  • Rilohn Refuge

Skills

• Ebon Hawk
• Sandstorm (elite)
• Stone Daggers
• Stoning

Notes

• If you want to capture Sandstorm from The Drought, make sure to kill it and cap before killing either of the two Droughtlings that accompany it, otherwise the end of mission cutscene will be triggered and you won't be able to capture the skill.
• Using Winter is one of the best ways to kill it, as it will negate the effect of the extra % from earth damage.
• Using Broad Head Arrow or Power Block to shut down The Drought is also quite effective.
• Also consider using Pain Inverter with a minion master to exploit the devastating AoE damage done by Sandstorm. The more minions get hit, more damage there is to invert, which can kill The Drought quickly.
• Although The Drought serves Abaddon, it is not considered demonic, and therefore Lightbringer's Gaze is useless against it.
• Protective Spirit is highly effective against this boss, as it hits, almost exclusively, for over 200 damage.
