The Weeping Mother
The grieving spirit of Lanternmere (level 66). Spirals of tears, pools of grief, and lanterns that shield her and burn you.
Every lantern the gloamfolk hang is for someone the forest took. The Weeping Mother lit the first of them, for a child who followed a wisp off the path, and she has been lighting them ever since. She does not know she is dead. She knows only that you are not hers.
Tips
- Put out the Grief Lanterns: each one shoots at you, and while any burn she takes far less damage.
- Lament spirals turn as they spread. Move with the gaps.
- Pools open under everyone every few seconds. Keep moving.
- Drop rates are per kill for each hero nearby. Magic find raises the rarity of gear, not these chances.

|---|---|---|
| Grief Lanterns | at 80%, 50%, 20% life | At 80%, 50% and 20% life she lights four lanterns around the room; each throws ghost-fire at the nearest hero. While a ward stands the boss shrugs off most of your damage: break them first. |
| Lament | every ~9s | Three rings of tears spiral out from her. Find the gaps. |
| Mourning Pools | every ~7s | Rings under every hero become pools of grief that burn for six seconds. |
| Wisps | at 65%, 35% life | At 65% and 35% life, wisps gather to her. |
| Frenzy | below 50% life | Below half life she grieves faster. |
