[[Duncan the Black]] is the final boss in the only elite [[dungeon]], [[Slavers' Exile]]. He is an extremely powerful [[Ritualist]], with a large amount of health. After he is defeated, a [[Hierophant's Chest]] appears. Duncan has hired guardians to protect him while he harvests the powers of [[the Great Destroyer]] for his own evil designs.<br />

==Notes==<br />
*In normal mode, he has about 19000 health.<br />
*While fighting Duncan, a series of sixteen spirits spawn on either side of him, consisting of [[Pain]], [[Shadowsong]], [[Recuperation]], and [[Disenchantment]]. The spirits each respawn quickly after they die, so [[Swap]]ping them away is extremely helpful. If killed, the spirits will respawn at the location where they were killed, not at their original location before using Swap.<br />
*It's not wise to passively tank him. Skills like [[Backfire]], [[Visions of Regret]], and [[Pain Inverter]] will still reflect the damage back to you, and it's very hard to absorb all the damage (e.g. his Spirit Rift can do 450+ AoE damage). Instead, a better strategy is to interrupt him and/or disable him with [[Daze]], [[Knockdown]], and skills like [[Arcane Conundrum]].<br />
*Casters can stand in and cast from the corner by the stairs to be safer.<br />
*[[Spoil Victor]] is a wise choice, because of his large amount of health.<br />
*[[Signet of Sorrow]] spamming can be effective if you have a party member die right next to Duncan.<br />
*[[Life stealing]] skills can be useful, as they do not trigger Duncan's Defense.<br />
