Talic
Talic is from the Western Shores of the Barbarian Kingdom. At a young
age, Talic had already mastered several of the barbarian skills. He
was only 19 when he was called to serve the Ancients. Before his calling,
he had only heard legends of Mt. Arreat. The Kae Huron mountain range,
where lies Arreat, isn't even visible from warm waters he grew up
around.
One morning there was a knock at his door. It was the town elder
and an old woman. They entered as his wife and young child sat at
the table. The woman was introduced as Kala the Seer for Sescheron
the capital city of the Barbarian Tribes. She came to bestow upon
Talic the ultimate task of protecting the sacred gates to Mt. Arreat.
His reward for accepting such service would be eternity atop the
mountain. While it was an honor beyond comprehension to be chosen
for such a role, he would never be able to return home, nor see
any of his family again.
Talic rose from his chair, standing a head taller than the Seer,
and told her fiercely "I won't go." He had refused. He told the
Seer to choose another. Kala looked at him and said the choice was
not hers to make. The Ancients had spoken to her of a young warrior
in the West named Talic. That was who they wanted, that was who
they chose. Talic stared long at the Seer. Then finally, he nodded
slowly in agreement, turned to his wife and child, kissed them goodbye,
and journeyed to Mt. Arreat.
Tips and Other Additional Information
Talic uses Whirlwind.
Talic is Fire Enchanted
so Necromancers can take advantage of this enchantment by using
a Fire Golem and Iron Maiden. Talic will take damage from the curse
and the Golem will be healed by the Fire Damage. Talic will eventually
kill himself.
In Nightmare and Hell, as with all Unique enemies, the Ancients
get random Unique modifiers. If you find yourself overwhelmed with
the random modifiers that the game has selected, you can open a
Town Portal to "reroll" them until you get something more
manageable.
