“I am the scythe, the bringer of salvation.
— Matthias Gabrel
Matthias Gabrel is the final boss of the Salvation Pass raid wing. He is the fanatic leader of the bandits in the Salvation Pass, as well as an Inquisitor of the White Mantle and a powerful elementalist.
Biography[edit]
He was originally stationed in Bloodstone Fen to ensure the White Mantle troops there remain loyal to the Unseen Ones, but as the experimentation on the Bloodstone's magic advanced to imbuing shards into living beings, Matthias was convinced by Justiciar Bauer to volunteer for the experiment. To prepare for this, Matthias left for Salvation Pass, to oversee the experiments until he underwent them.

- Arena mechanics
- Cleansing fountains - the four cleansing fountains around the edge of the arena are used to cleanse Corruption by walking into them. If the player does not have Forsaken Thicket Waters mastery, this deals heavy damage and stuns for 3 seconds. Once used, the fountain becomes tainted and cannot be used for 100 seconds. This means that usually only one fountain is available to cleanse the Corruption at every time (unless a Corruption was skipped due to other mechanics).
