Duration: 5 turns

• As part of the challenge to enter the temple, the Farslayer has begun chanting. It can cast  Bhaal's Power Word Kill once its profane ritual ends. Exiting the Farslayer's chanting range of 55 m / 183 ft makes its enemies invulnerable to the effect. Slaying the Farslayer stops the ritual and wins the conflict.

• The duration of the ritual depends on the difficulty:
  • On Explorer, it will be complete after 7 rounds.
  • On Balanced, it will be complete after 6 rounds.

  • Frightened (status group)
  • Fleeing (status group)
  • Petrified (status group)
