- Shared Agony - Cairn causes agony so intense that it spreads to the target's nearby allies.

Trivia[edit]
- "Cairn The (noun/adjective)" was already a common naming scheme for Jade Construct Bosses in the original Guild Wars probably in reference to Scottish cairns and the Jade's rocky appearance.
- Cairn the Indomitable’s Orbital Sweep was shown as a large, blue stick in early testing. Testers called it the 'pool noodle' attack.[1]
