Zelvraak the Unbreathing

Zelvraak during the ghost stage

Zelvraak the Unbreathing is a lich and former member of the Druids of Galen. He serves as the final boss of Graven Deep and can be found in the central core of the Tempest Observatory section.

In life, his name was Saer. He was a practitioner of necromancy, but ascended to lichdom within the ruin's depths, entombing his fellow druids that accompanied him within. He is responsible for the disappearances of sailors around Graven Deep, utilizing the Dwarven weather machine to draw ships to their doom for his dark purposes.

Dialogue

Zelvraak will communicate (i.e. taunt you) as you come across the secret areas on the map:

At the first secret:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Old secrets, left behind. Play with them, if you wish."

If you choose the incorrect cube and get repelled:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Perhaps this one's beyond you."

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "No match for simple cubes."

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Ahahahaha!"

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Poor mortal of weak mind."

Once you have solved the puzzle, Mzugru, Security Drone will be activated:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Not the most complex of mysteries, it would seem."

When a Power Transmitter is activated:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Defend yourself, construct!"

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "How will you deal with this?"

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Can you break its protections?"

Breaking a Power Transmitter:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "An imperfect design."

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "I can't repair that part."

Once Mzugru is defeated:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Impressive. But other secrets await. How long until one cuts you down?"

At the second secret:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "You seem drawn to these secrets. Like a fish, enticed by bait."

Whenever you touch the lasers:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "The delicious scent of burnt mortal."

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Please, keep amusing me."

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Do not feel bold too quickly!"

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Hurry, mortal. Hahaha!"

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "An unforgiving punishment!"

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Are you tired? These machines shall give you no rest!"

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "very entertaining."

The Side Boss is summoned:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "The dwarves here had so many toys to play with. Here comes one now!"

During combat:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Yes! What savagery in your rich souls."

Defeating the Side Boss:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Ah, the little fish avoids the hook. For now."

Closer to the final boss room:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Just like a fish, to swim into my jaws."

At the third secret:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "You're swimming into danger once again, little fish."

If you choose the wrong switch and zap someone:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Does that hurt? I no longer remember pain."

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "How foolish to think this so easy."

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "I should send one of my brainless ghouls to solve this for you."

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "I suggest a more cautious step."

The Side Boss is summoned:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "An ancient device. What threat could it pose?"

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "Unwise. The constructs react poorly when you remove their energy supply."

Defeating the Side Boss:

Zelvraak the Unbreathing: "For untold centuries, I've watched lesser creatures die from those devices. What clever little fish!"

Zelvraak preparing a ritual

Upon reaching the Energy Chamber, you will find Zelvraak with a Flesh Abomination and some Drowned Frost Mages:
