Taken Anomaly

Overview

Taken Anomalies are elite Taken Wizards in Defiant Battleground: EDZ, found in the Shadow Legion Prison in the European Dead Zone. Their abilities include high durability, rapid flight, midair levitation, a Void absorption shield and summoning a Shadow Thrall.

Role in the Fight

After Warden Vincu'us loses a third of his health, he shields himself and fills the arena with Dark Fetor. Pairs of Anomalies then spawn at opposite ends of the arena every few moments.

Defeating Them

Players enter the fog to kill the Anomalies and collect the Taken Essence they drop. The essence is taken to a Balefire, purified and thrown at the Warden to strip part of his shield. The process repeats at a second Balefire.
