Flavor Text

This curse, commonly used by ahrimans and similar voidsent, takes advantage of the hubris that living creatures tend to fall prey to upon reaching certain milestones in development, targeting mental weaknesses to give foes a paralyzing reminder of their own fallibility.

Acquisition Tips

Patch 6.1 change - There is now a Manor Sentry enemy just outside the first boss room of Haukke Manor. More importantly, it will use Level 5 Petrify regardless of its health status. So you can choose to run this unsync'd and just run to the first boss room and hope to learn it, or form a sync'd party and just make it this far to guarantee learning it.
- This can be acquired solo synced using Mighty Guard and Basic Instinct. Simply clear up to before the first boss making use of Ultravibration if you have it. Pull the sentry, wait for the sentry to cast its cone AoE, then kill it using your DPS cooldowns immediately after.
Manor Sentry is spawned when the final boss drops to around 25% HP. Manor Sentry will use Level 5 Petrify at around 20% HP. If you don't learn the spell after killing it, consider wiping the party using sacrificial actions ( Self-destruct, Final Sting, Transfusion) and do the boss fight again -- Brush with Death takes 10 minutes to expire, but it may be faster than running the entire instance again.
