Zikel's Apparition
Impetusium; Nightmare 1–10
Zikel's Apparition is a level 43–65 hero Cogni boss in AION 2 that stands in Impetusium (1 spawn point). It is the Nightmare boss of Impetusium at levels 1–10 (monster level 65), recommended combat power 2,400–3,000. It rages after 5:00.
An echo of Empyrean Lord Zikel, once the revered protector of Gladiators and Templars. He invoked the Blood Oath to bring down Dragon Lord Fafnir, though he himself was ultimately destroyed in the conflict. After countless years sealed within the Impetusium, his lingering essence has faded into that of an Apparition.
