Crucible Wave Composition

[Finnvbot]

Has anyone come across a list of enemies one can expect to face in the Crucible? While I'm pretty sure it's randomised to an extent, there are enemies who are bound to show up on certain waves (Rashalga, I'm lookin' at you, you ****** CHEAP **** ******). In the heat of battle, it's sometimes difficult to tell who did some spike damage to you and I'd like to be prepared beforehand.

EDIT: I think that the first dozen waves on Gladiator are a decent way to stock up on components (claws, spikes, etc.), as well as getting some blues. Nice!

Anything but Log. I'm pretty sure Log won't show his ugly... um... his ugly everything in the Crucible. I've seen every other enemy I can think of, albeit sometimes under a different name. Oh - not the super secret annoying guy either. Thank goodness.

The Actual Super Secret Annoying Guy? Oh yeah, that fight was a drag.

I know that Rashalga is significantly weaker in the arena but she still kicked my arse on Challenger wave 147. I didn't even know what happened exactly, especially since my page shows only over 6k damage in one hit (highest damage taken). That's why I'd like to know what happens on certain waves so I can counter it.

I'm not sure I've seen a really thorough list but I know I've seen people casually discuss things wave-by-wave on the Crate forums. Might have more luck there.

I'm mostly farming 100-150, but I think I can give somewhat of a rundown on the Bosses. Feel free to add to it or correct me.

The most memorable boss spawns from my view are:

Wave 104: Anasteria + Aetherial Abomination
Wave 124: Commander Lucius (if Extra Spawns are activated)
Wave 131: Hive Queen (the regular one)
Wave 137: Salazar (Chthonian Boss) + Anasteria (+Harrath the Returned, if Extra Spawns are activated
Wave 140: Random Nemesis + 2 Bosses. Those Being Herald of Flame, Herald of Destruction, Gutworm the Maneater and another guy who looks pretty much the same
Wave 144: That Chthonian, self cloning Harbinger Boss from Bastion of Chaos + Igor the Eternal
Wave 145: Undead Ice Boss Rolderathis (or whatever) + Elena, the first Slith
Wave 146: All three Bosses from the Hidden Path Quest (Poison, Lightning, Chaos)
Wave 147: Mad Queen or Loxmere Nightmage (Second is a champion, but dishes out like a Boss...literally)
Wave 149: 5 Bosses on 5 Spawn Locations (nothing from Extra Spawn). Those being
* Spawn 1 - Warden Krieg or Darius Cronley
* Spawn 2 - The Sentinel or Commander Lucius
* Spawn 3 - Bartholem (Kymons Chosen fire dude) or Shar'Zul from Bastion of Chaos
* Spawn 4 - Lord Alkamos (Steps of Torment) or Malkadar (Deaths Vigil ice dude)
* Spawn 5 - Bloodlord Thalonis or some cronley guy with 2 axes, does literally nothing but die
Wave 150: 2 Nemesis on Aspirant, 3 Nemesis on Challenger (Extra Spawns don't matter there).
Can't say for Gladiator Difficulty, haven't been there

Nemesis Spawn every 5 Waves starting from 100 on Aspirant and starting from 90 on Challenger with Double Nemesis spawn on 120 and 130 (I think).

That list should work for Aspirant, and I think for Challenger as well. Can't say anything about Gladiator though, somebody else would need to add that.

That's what I can piece together from scratch. Hope it helps.


Edit: Wave 131 is the regular hive queen. Thought her name was Rashalga.

Nice one, Cyrill! Exactly what I'm looking for, stored for future reference. ;)

Can't give you a rundown on the regular mob spawns, though. Too many, and too many same spawns on too many waves. Just be careful with those stone golems, their boulder toss hits like a truck. Or like a giant boulder, in that regard.

Still feels like my list is missing some things, but most of the bosses that come to mind are inconsequential. Nobody cares for Bolvar the Bloodbinder, Zaria the Carver or for the twin wasp bosses from Act 2, that you couldn't die to even if you tried real hard.
Commander Lucius is somewhere in between 100 and 120 as a regular spawn, I think. Can't remember which wave though.

[Finnvbot]

It's fine, I'm interested in those BAMFs that can mess you up if you're not paying attention and/or are in a bad place at a wrong time. Lucius is a great example: if you don't notice his nuke incoming, you're bound to have a bad time. Thanks again! ;)
