History of Featured Reprise: Gahlran
Revision 34788 by archivist at 2026-10-12 19:03:36
Featured Reprise: Gahlran is the direct-launch node for the Gahlran boss fight in Pantheon, a Raid-type activity (listed at 300 base power in game data). The fight reprises the final encounter of the Crown of Sorrow raid. Each Tuesday the Pantheon rotation features one reprised and one encore boss, which can be launched directly from the Director without running the whole gauntlet; this page is the Gahlran week. It is a 1-6 player activity with no matchmaking. Pantheon 2.0 is reported to have launched on 9 June 2026. The weekly pair changes.
Sibling pages: Pantheon and its other launchable activities (Calus Resplendent, Morgeth Surpassing, Insurrection Prime Revolutionary).
Encounter
The fireteam splits into three pairs, one per arena section, each facing a copy of Gahlran. The central mechanic is the Witch's Blessing buff.
- Three Guardians stand in the energy pool at the rally point to gain the Blessing. It lasts about 60 seconds and kills the holder if it expires.
- Each pair must always have one Blessed player. Blessed Hive can only be damaged by the Blessed Guardian, non-Blessed Hive only by the other. Swap the buff by shooting a Witch's Vessel (purple sphere), which can be done from anywhere in the arena.
- Clear the Hive waves and shielded crystals to draw out Gahlran's Deception, a Hive miniboss. Both Guardians melee it together to break its shield, then lure it to the clone so Gahlran's cleaver destroys it.
- After all three Deceptions die, all three Gahlrans raise glowing hands. Shoot the hands and face; the real Gahlran is revealed and the two illusions vanish.
- Converge on the real Gahlran for the damage phase, shooting his hands to drop immunity, then his head/crown. The cycle repeats until he dies.
Rewards
Reported drops are Pantheon armor and reprised Crown of Sorrow weapons (commonly Gahlran's Right Hand), plus Crown of Sorrow ornaments. Progress counts toward the Godsbane seal.
