Steps to Capture Mephod, the Earth Scorcher

  1. Acquire the Summit Map and add it into your map device at your hideout. Summit Map Tier: 5, 8, 12, 16, 16.
  2. Add a Divine Vessel into the map device.
  3. Run the map and kill the Mephod, the Earth Scorcher boss (you can have other players help kill the boss, but you must be present in the map for the capturing to work).
  4. Check your map device, you should have acquired the Captured Soul of a god (item that looks like a blue bottle).
  5. Consume the Captured Soul to upgrade a God Power.
  6. View your Pantheon and roll over the God you are trying to upgrade; the upgraded God Power should now be available.

There must be space in the map device for the Captured Soul or it will be deleted.

Why Upgrade the Soul of Abberath?

Upgrading the Soul of Abberath provides significant defensive benefits that enhance your character’s survivability:

  • 10% increased Movement Speed while on Burning Ground: This upgrade, obtained by capturing Mephod, the Earth Scorcher, helps you move faster through dangerous burning ground areas.
  • Unaffected by Burning Ground: This upgrade ensures you are immune to the damage and debuffs from burning ground, providing a substantial advantage in many high-level encounters.
