Overall, the damage output of the Leviathan itself is not that high, but coupled with the sand worms the combined effect can be rough, and there is practically no cover on the ledge. On rare occasions, if characters are positioned out towards the fringes of the ledge the Leviathan may attempt a slam attack, bashing its flippers down on the rock to unleash a powerful shockwave. A purple gob of spit is an infrequent, but regular, attack that applies the Slag status effect to anyone it hits. A sweeping wave of spittle that covers the ledge in a wide arc, yet does minimal damage, is a common attack. The first stage sees regular sand worms on the offensive, the second has a pair of sand worm queens attacking in sequence with their larvae, and the third offers another round of standard sand worms.ĭuring the first and second phases of the battle, the Leviathan will attack using a range of different attack types. The ensuing fight is in three stages, each marked by a subtype of sand worm that inhabit the area and will attack during the fight with the Leviathan. With the defeat of Roscoe, the next step is to move to a nearby objective marker, which trips a short cinematic showing the Leviathan regurgitating the remaining combatants onto a wide ledge in its lair. Once Roscoe is dead, Scarlett makes an announcement about discretion being the better part of "running away," and departs the scene with a personal fast travel device but drops her pistol, the Greed. As a large target, Roscoe is also vulnerable to weapons that trade accuracy for power. A barrage of explosive or incendiary damage directed at the head can still slip past the blinkers. Unlike wild rakk hives, Roscoe wears blinkers that help to protect his eyes, reducing the likelihood of critical hits. The floor is also covered in pools of corrosive sludge which deal damage over time but only when standing in them, leaving the pool will prevent further corrosive damage. Characters caught close behind Roscoe may find themselves drenched in a volatile corrosive green sludge as the rakk hive relieves itself in their direction. Characters in front may be struck by globs of corrosive spit that arc forward to coat small patches of the ground with a lingering corrosion effect. Another is a rearing ground stomp that inflicts damage in a small radius around the beast. The first attack is a flight of rakk that present only a minor nuisance. Roscoe has a number of attacks and might be a tough opponent if unprepared. Scarlett makes an appearance in the Leviathan's stomach, seated astride her rakk hive pet Roscoe, and they attack after Scarlett has completed another diatribe. A quick trip by sandskiff will bring adventurers to the indicated area, at which point the Leviathan bursts from the sand and swallows everyone whole. Both are shielded and much harder to kill than their men.Įxiting Magnys Lighthouse is expedited by a one-way Fast Travel terminal, with the nearest destination to the Treasure of the Sands being the now-deserted Buccaneer's Bacchanal in Wurmwater.

Hoffman and White follow these attacks, Hoffman with an assault rifle of his own, and White with a shotgun. Scarlett Corsairs vanish from sight and reappear when they are in striking range for their cutlasses, while their crewman associates hang back and pepper the open ground with assault rifles. At this point, a band of pirates led by Lieutenant Hoffman and Lieutenant White will make their attack. X Marks the Spot begins innocently at Magnys Lighthouse, but quickly changes when Captain Scarlett announces her betrayal.
