HEROIC LEVELS
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. Similar to ordinary demons but much stronger and more intelligent, heroic demons are more than a match for the toughest heroes.
Median XL features four heroic areas:
Act 1 Mausoleum (Burial Grounds)
Act 2 Stony Tomb Level 1 (Rocky Waste)
Act 5 Icy Cellar (Ancients' Way)
Each of the three areas contains the same 20 heroic monster types. You may
want to choose the area that suits your character build the most.
Act 1 Cow Level (Rogue Encampment)
Meet invisible cow ninjas, bovine summoners and other figments of your fever dreams after a bad case of food poisoning in
the Cow Level!
HEROIC BOSSES
Each heroic area is protected by its own guardian and one appears only when its shrine is disturbed. The area's heroic boss may randomly appear in the area, or he may not... Beware, heroic bosses are among the hardest encounters in Median XL.
All heroic bosses are protected by an invulnerability shield. This shield is nearly impossible to break with mortal magic but will occasionally fail and drop a random immunity, though this still leaves the boss with high resistance to this element. Use these rare opportunities well.
