Wizard101: New Skeleton Key Boss Guide

Wizard101 Test Realm Skeleton Key Boss Cheat / Drop Guide

The Wizard101 Test Realm is live, and it has brought a number of goodies along with it! Among them are three new bosses in special sigils that require Skeleton Keys. Each has new and exciting drops to be had!

All Skeleton Key Bosses:



In This Guide: Aphrodite Two | Lambent Fire | Takanobu


New Sigils, New Bosses, New Loot

It's all-around new items in Wizard where Skeleton Keys are concerned! These new sigils have a unique design and are created to allow only your specific team to enter a particular key boss room. This way, you can make sure you're got everyone you want before spending a key, without any need to go through a dungeon.

With these new bosses comes a new type of loot drop in the realm of skeleton keys - spells. Each new boss has one spell drop. To learn more about those, click HERE.

Mix of possible bosses: Life Tendril, Life, 25336 health; Myth Tendril, Myth, 15582 health; Death Tendril, Death, 20118 health

General Cheats:
  • I am untouched! My spores will spread over everyone! Like Belloq, you must hit every round. If you do not, this message will appear and the boss will interrupt at the beginning of the following round to cast a damage DoT on all players in addition to these charms: -30% damage, -40% accuracy, -50% healing. DoT spells count the first round they hit, but their damage over time does not count as a hit. The DoT that the boss casts does Shadow damage.
  • No! That Stings! This message indicates that you have hit one of the tendrils. You only need to hit one to stop the cheat.

Life Tendril Cheats:
  • Seek out the cracks in their foundation! The Life tendril will interrupt and cast a Guidance (+10% accuracy to all friends).
  • Tear down blades! When a player across from a Life tendril casts a blade, the tendril will interrupt and cast a Forest Lord.
  • Shake it off! When a player casts a DoT on a Life tendril, the tendril will interrupt and cast Triage to remove it.
  • Life tendrils have a natural attack that hits the player and places a Life dispel, but this is not a cheat.

Death Tendril Cheats:
  • Find their weak points! The Death tendril will interrupt and cast a Feint (75%/20%) on one enemy.
  • Terrify the vermin! When a player across from a Death tendril casts a blade, the tendril will interrupt and cast a Scarecrow.
  • Death tendrils have a natural attack that hits the player and places a Death dispel, but this is not a cheat.

Myth Tendril Cheats:
  • Stun the strongest! The Myth tendril will interrupt and cast a stun on one enemy.
  • Shake the Earth! When a player across from a Myth tendril casts a blade, the tendril will interrupt and cast an Earthquake.
  • Steal their strength! When a player casts a DoT on a Myth tendril, the tendril will interrupt and cast a Shift to move the DoT to the person who cast it.
  • Myth tendrils have a natural attack that hits the player and places a Myth dispel, but this is not a cheat.

    Jewel from Aphrodite among other mobs I'd assume, also should note that mote of eternity drops from her as well~ just like Takanobu drops Mote of Wisdom and Mote of Severity drops from Lambent Fire.
