Skills and Abilities

As they are considered elite enemies, Harvesters are immune to all forms of crowd control effects.

Chasten

The harvester shoots a blue orb towards you as a basic ranged attack. This attack does minor magical damage.

Black Winter

The harvester winds up and releases three rows of hands that travel along the ground. This attack does high magical damage, and should be interrupted or avoided. Since this attack is fired in the direction the harvester is facing, a player can easily avoid this attack by standing behind or beside the harvester.

The Feast

When hurt, the Harvester will grab your essence and attempt to steal it. When grabbed, you will take moderate magical damage and be briefly stunned. You may break free from this. Four Feast orbs will then appear around the Harvester and move towards it. If an orb touches the Harvester, it will be healed. To prevent this, you must destroy the orbs before they reach the harvester. Each orb will also heal you when destroyed.

Dialogue

Sometimes the Harvesters in the Imperial City Prison will call out threats to you as they are fought.

Harvester: "Did you come here to be processed, mortal? We will indulge you!"

Harvester: "You'll regret coming here, mortal!"

Harvester: "You have such curious eyes. I'll eat them!"
