Avnos
Avnos is the main boss of the Ancient Orc Tomb's fire wing and one of the two bosses required to proceed to Karavnos.
Summoning the Fire Boss
You can reach the boss area of Avnos through the AOT Fire Wing (west wing) starting at the AOT Portal. For those with status 6 or higher, the portal to the end of the west wing becomes available (500g).
Avnos Puzzle
Before the boss is summoned, one must first solve a puzzle (mini-game) and defeat a mini-boss. The puzzle room at the end Fire Wing contains 6 orbs, which need to be destroyed in the right order, using the Attack (Key: A) action (right-click doesn't auto-attack the orb). The order of the orbs changes per game, and hitting the wrong orb will spawn mobs. When an orb is destroyed, damage is dealt in a small AOE around the orb, hence a ranged hero could attack these to avoid that damage.
Below are the currently known orb order combinations.

Abilities & Mechanics
The Avnos fight introduces new mechanics that make the battles more intense than the previous bosses.
The image on the right displays the boss area where the battle takes place in. Players can freely roam the area in green, but need to avoid the corners (red) to not spawn Fire Elemental adds.
Engulfing Flames
The main factor of damage throughout the fight is the Engulfing Flames debuff. The debuff is applied to all heroes, increasing by 1 stack per several second intervals. Heroes with this debuff receive damage per second and 5% additional damage from all other abilities per stack.
Engulfing Flames Debuff
How to Reset Debuff Stacks
Heroes, other than the tanking hero, need to lose their stacks when it gets too high for healing to manage.
- Tank
- The tanking hero (who will be taking the boss's auto-attacks) can gain up to x4 stacks of Engulfing Flames. Instead of gaining a 5th stack, an explosion is triggered, dealing damage to the tanking hero and resetting the stacks to 0.
- DPS and Healers
- Will gain stacks indefinitely and these can only be reset by getting out of the bosses Line of Sight for several seconds. This can be done by hiding behind any Meteor Rocks, that remain after his Meteor ability has been cast.
Clear Debuff Stacks behind Meteor Rock
Meteors
Dialog: A fiery death from the sky!
When the dialog appears, a meteor landing mark spawns under a player and anyone near this mark needs to move away from it. The meteor does fatal damage in a large AOE upon impact. After impact, a boulder/rock will remain where it landed that players can use to lose their Engulfing Flames debuff.

Firepaths
During the encounter, a random player is targeted and a slow moving Firepath begins to travel in a straight line towards that player. There These paths do a heavy amount of damage per second to anyone who comes in contact with them.
Firepaths
Fire Arc Phase
Dialog: By fire... be purged!
During the battle, Avnos will switch into a different phase, announced by the above dialog. During this phase, players continue to gain Engulfing Flames, but he will no longer auto-attack and will stop casting Meteors and Firepaths.
Fire Arcs
Avnos will face a random direction of the arena and after a short delay, spawns an arc of fire that travels and grows in size, dealing damage to the complete section he was facing. This is the only ability he will cast during this phase.
Fire Arc Phase
Defeating Avnos
To defeat Avnos, all players need to be dodging the boss abilities and mitigate the stacks of Engulfing Flames whenever possible.
Watch Your Feet
Moving out of Firepath
Stay mobile throughout the fight and move immediately when a Firepath approaches or a Meteor mark spawns. When a Meteor mark spawns on a Firepath, it becomes difficult to see which may cause players to be to close to it when the meteor lands. In addition, meteor rocks on a firepath are difficult to use lose stacks.
Know your Debuffs
When resetting the Engulfing Flames debuff, stay behind a boulder long enough for the icon in your status bar to disappear. Knowing your status bar becomes essential throughout AOT and beyond.
VX Avnos Guide
Avnos - 'Die In a Fire' - Defeat Avnos after spawning the Flame Orb
Walking into the fire in a corner summons a Fireling, which needs to be tanked and killed, and causes the player to take some damage and to take a stacking debuff called combustion, that makes you take increased damage if you walk into a corner again.
Killing a fireling causes a small fireball to spawn, which does some damage around it, like immolate.
Killing all 4 firelings causes the small fireballs to form the Flame Orb. Spawning the flame orb causes Avnos to heal to almost full, so it is pointless to dps the boss.
The flame orb does damage around it like the small orbs, but with a greater magnitude, and uses some spells you need to dodge.
