She also gains some unique skills from The Husk of Elder Gaspar, the boss of this Timeline.

In this guide, we cover the rewards, boss mechanics, and provide a strategy for defeating this boss.

Rewards

Each Harbinger can drop its own Unique as well as Forgotten Knight Faction rewards.

  • The IThe Inevitable
  • Harbinger Eye: Used to summon the Pinnacle Boss Aberroth.
  • Harbinger's Needle: When equipped in an Idol slot, this item will allow Empowered Timeline Boss kills to give 3 additional Gaze of Orobyss, significantly speeding up Corruption gains. The item is destroyed when the Timeline Boss is killed.

Boss Mechanics

Each Harbinger has a set of skills according to their archetype (agile or tank) as well as a few skills from the boss of the Timeline Boss.

Archetype -Agile

Creates two portals, one next to the Harbinger and another near the player. After a short delay, the Harbinger thrusts her spear into the nearby portal, causing it to shoot out of the other one. Deals low Physical and Void Damage.

Timeline Boss - The Husk of Elder Gaspar

Places mines on the ground that, when walked over, explode after a short duration and deal moderate Lightning Damage.

Modifiers

When you go into a timeline boss fight, you carry any modifiers that are active from running echoes. Some of these modifiers can be especially dangerous, while some can actually bring value with little or no downside.

Boss Strategy

This is a relatively easy fight compared as long as you avoid the Tri Beam attack.

  • Avoid Spear Beam. It's a well telegraphed attack and therefore unnecessary damage. The same goes for Portal Spear and Void Spears.
  • Most of her other archetypal attacks are difficult to avoid in melee range, but don't deal excessive damage. Either tank it or stay at range.
  • Periodically Run through the Spark Discharge mines to clear them out and keep them from building up. As long as you continue moving through them, you won't get hit.
  • Avoid the Tri Beam Attack by walking in a clockwise direction or using a skill with and invincibility frame to pass through it. The damage is somewhat manageable at low corruption, but becomes considerably more dangerous as corruption increases.

Summary

  • Harbingers are bosses that are required for progression with the Forgotten Knights Faction.
  • Harbinger of Fear follows the Agile archetype.
  • She also gains skills based on The Husk of Elder Gaspar
  • The Unique reward for killing this boss is The Inevitable
