The final boss battle in Master Spellplague Caverns (MSP) pits the players against Nostura of the Stone Eye. She has this curse attack called Rampant Curse. This causes a heavy DoT effect and is only dispelled when players look in Nostura’s direction when she uses Stone Eye (the orange eye effect that’s used by the Yuan-Ti enemies in M12 Chult, Acturia in M16 Lair of the Mad Mage, and the Succubus & Incubus enemies in M19 Avernus). When she reaches about 10% Hp remaining, she becomes untargetable and begins charging a black hole whilst shouting “No, the key, do not fail me!”. Now tasking the players to destroy 5 Planer Tears to open portals that are used to avoid the one hit KO explosion. Well guess what, she can just out of nowhere put Rampant Curse on the players during this phase, and with how long this phase is, this leads to full party wipes and forces Scroll usage.
