[[Skolas's Revenge]] is a level 35 [[Challenge Mode]] in [[The Prison of Elders]] [[Arena]]. While it requires a group of 3 players, this mode does not have automatic match making.

Players will receive [[Hildian Seeker]], [[Kellbreaker]] and [[The Queen's Web]] for defeating Skolas for the first time.

Players will receive [[House of Judgement]] +500, [[Weapon Core]], [[Armor Core]], [[Etheric Light]] upon completion, once per week.

===Mechanics===
'''1. Servitor Buff:'''

When you enter the arena, Skolas will be near you, with a bunch of adds scattered around. To the sides, however, you will find these white Ghostly servitors.

You need to kill this Servitor to be able to deal proper damage to Skolas (kind of like Time's Vengeance), without it, you will barely touch his health.
Once you kill this Servitor, you will be given a buff for 20 seconds, which will say something like "the Servitor bonds are weakened". Take this time to damage Skolas.

If you kill another Servitor, while the buff from a previous Servitor was active, this will simply refresh the buff back to 0:20, it will not stack beyond 20 seconds.

Once Skolas is at 75% health, however, you will no longer need to kill these Servitors, and will be able to damage Skolas normally.

'''2. Devouring Essence:'''

This is a debuff. It will activate once Skolas reaches 50% health, and will affect one player at random.

It will make your screen turn green (sort of like Thorn), and a 30 second countdown will appear. Once this countdown goes to 0, you will die.

This requires precise teamwork. If you are tainted with this debuff, you will have to transfer this to another player (like how to transfer the Chalice of Light in CE).

It's not that simple, however. Let suppose there are 3 players, A, B, and C. If A gets affected by the debuff, he must pass it on to B before he dies. Once B has the debuff, the timer will return to 0:30, however, B cannot pass this back to A, as A will be 'immune' for 35 seconds, and unable to take the debuff. B will then have to transfer this to C, who will then transfer it to A, rinse and repeat. So: A -> B -> C -> A...

This debuff will stay throughout the fight, all the way to the end, so make sure to coordinate.

'''3. Dismantling Mines''':

Much like the previous rounds, this mission will contain 2 critical objectives.

It will pop up first when Skolas reaches 50% health, you will have to dismantle 3 mines, A, B, and C.

It will then pop up again, when Skolas reaches 25% health, 3 mines again.

You will have to dismantle them in the time window you are given, or will die.

===Strategy===
'''100%''' - You will have to kill the servitors to gain a buff and damage Skolas

'''100% - 50%''' - Damage Skolas, keep killing servitors to be able to deal proper damage, stay alive.

'''50%''' - First Critical Objective (Defuse mines) pops up

'''50%''' - You no longer need to kill servitors to damage Skolas

'''50%''' - One of you will get marked with the debuff

'''25%''' - Second Critical Objective (Defuse mines) pops up

'''0%''' - Done
