Hound of Hades
A Boss-tier magic monster in Catacombs of the Colosseum, encountered at levels 45–50. It counts toward quests that ask for elite or boss monsters, whatever your level.
Skills
Hound of Hades has two named skills. Each fires once per fight, at the moment shown below. The boss card in Expeditions lists the same skills before you spend any energy, and the fight report names a skill when it fires.
| Skill | When | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Guards the Gate | At the start of the fight | It will not give up the gate: 12% less damage taken for the first 3 rounds. Punishes a low-damage build. |
| Licks Its Wounds | When struck below 50% health | Struck below half health, it backs off to lick its wounds: it recovers 5% of its maximum health, once. Punishes a low-damage build. |
Nature
Its card in Expeditions reads Born of fire · Resists fire.
- Resists fire. Burning, which Ignis Vestae or gear with Burn chance can leave, has 50 % of its strength on it.
A nature changes only the state an element leaves, never the hit itself, and nothing is immune. See Elements and states.

Themed loot: 60% of template rolls draw from this monster’s beast pool — Hunter's Hood, Hunter's Jerkin, Hunter's Grips, Hunter's Treads — and the remaining 40% from the full item catalogue.
Unique drops: Ring of the Devotio (~6% per kill). A unique is its own tier, not a high roll: every copy carries the same hand-written stats and the same signature effect.
Item level of a drop scales with the monster’s level; the numbers above are the fixed odds a win rolls against.
