The Exodus Encounter

The Exodus Encounter is a peerless system introduced with Publish 79.

Lore

| Exodus by J.P. "TheGrimmOmen" Harrod.
Exodus was a villain in Ultima lore, the spawn of the evil wizard Mondain and consort Minax. The Awakening epic story-arc revealed that Exodus captured Lord Blackthorn and built a mechanical facsimile to replace him throughout the events of Lord Blackthorn's Revenge. During the Call To Arms event, Exodus took advantage of civil unrest and a weakening of the boundaries between planes to attempt to subvert Britannia. Various clues soon pointed to Ilshenar and specifically the Exodus Dungeon. This invariably concluded with adventurers assaulting the dungeon, led by a recently returned Dupre, and destroying Exodus in a final confrontation that was notable for the introduction and distribution of a rare item, the Scroll of Valiant Commendation.

It is revealed with Publish 79 that those still loyal to Minax and Mondain's creation are working eagerly to rebuild the mechanical demon to summon him once again into Britannia. An Arch Zealot of Exodus appeared outside of Ver Lor Reg in Ilshenar, encouraging the adventurers to perform the Summoning ritual:

"Can you feel it? Can you feel the awesome power that emanates from this place...surely Lord Exodus will join us again soon, that's why you're here isn't it? To perform the Ritual?"*

The Keys

| Exodus Arch Zealot
Four keys are needed for the Summoning ritual:

that can be obtained by following the path of:

The Warrior

There is a chance for the keys to drop into players' backpacks upon slaying minions of Exodus or Dupre's men inside the Exodus Dungeon:

The Rogue

These keys can also be found inside the | Exodus Summoning Tome

In order to perform the Summoning ritual, you must first party up with at least one other player. Note that you do not need to party to acquire the keys and each party member should have his or her own set of keys. The Summoning ritual can be performed at any shrine in Trammel or Felucca, except the Chaos shrine. Gargoyles need to hand the Arch Zealot the human | Clockwork Exodus

There is a moongate to leave Ver Lor Reg and an ankh for resurrection. Clockwork Exodus may be summoned as long as it has not been killed in the last ten minutes. If at any time Clockwork Exodus' Hit Points drop below 60%, additional groups will not be able to join the encounter. If Clockwork Exodus' Hit Points rise again to 75%, additional groups will be able to join.

Clockwork Exodus summons death vortices that drain mana and stamina. It also has an aura energy that damages nearby players. Clockwork Exodus is extremely fast; almost mount speed and is nearly impossible to outrun.

It appears that Clockwork Exodus' lowest resist is poison.

Like Champion Spawns, a gold explosion takes place depositing gold on the ground once it is slain. Once Clockwork Exodus is defeated, players will have a chance to receive one of these rewards (shows the original non-replica item's properties, check the individual item pages for more information):
