Uberquest: Kabraxis, the Thief of Hope
Uberquest: Kabraxis
Hello everyone, this is a new uberquest that I'm working on my new mod; Median XL: ULTIMATIVE. For more info about that mod visit this thread.
This thread will show the uber itself in text / video. I want to make it clear that xarugas made the effects, imported their new monsters with added skill, and made all uberquests mechanic from the part you summon in the Chaos Sanctuary, until the death of kabraxis. What I did is all theorycraft / specific ideas, also tested uber and helped xarugas to adjust correct hp / res , etc. values. And of course, the first part of the uber will also be done by me. So, thanks a lot, xarugas for the amazing work!
This thread will be used as a walkthrough for the uberquest!

Part 1: The Key of Damnation
To obtain the desired kill you need to kill the Secret uber-boss, Inarius. He will drop a "Spirit of Damnation", which needs to be cubed to a regular key to obtain the Key of Damnation.
Part 2: The Scroll of Kabraxis
To obtain the scroll of kabraxis: cube your key of damnation with an Identify Scroll and a Town Portal Scroll to obtain the scroll of Kabraxis. The "Scroll of Kabraxis" is a single-use scroll that grants the 'Abysmal Gate' skill when used.
Part 3: Abysmal Gate
Once you have your scroll, you need to go to the middle star of the Chaos Sanctuary. Make sure you kill all monsters there first, or they will receive the immunity shield from the Ultra bosses. Do NOT activate the 5 seals. This will unsummon an invisible stationary totem that makes it available to use Abysmal Gate
Once you have summoned, step back, if you're too close to the center of the star, you will die. This is to prevent people from cheesing the uberquest by covering the place with summons.
Now: This part(3) consists of 6 uber-bosses, and a few minions. The central Pillar of skulls is invulnerable to any damage until you killed all other 5 bosses, which are standing on the 5 edges of the star.
There are 5 types of minions, called 'elementals', one for each element, not including poison. Each minion is vulnerable ONLY to their own damage source. This means: you will need to deal decent damage of those 5 types. Every boss from the elementals will summon a new minion every 12 seconds, so if you're too slow, you might get swarmed!
Since you need 5 elements, this uberquest is multiplayer-friendly. In case you do it on your own, some characters are able to reach many elemental source damages, f.e. bowzon, kraken stance barb, waysin, necromancer, etc.
It is recommended that you take bosses 1-by-1, mostly, because if you try to tank all the 5 at the same times, you are likely to die. Each Ultra boss uses a deadly attack, so you need to keep moving or you're dead.
The elemtanls themselves do elemental damage (according to their type) on melee, and they also cast a skill, that is mostly harmless. Make sure you have decent resistances!
Once you killed all 5 bosses, pillar of skulls looses his immunity shield making it vulnerable to damage.
Part 4: The Pillar of Skulls
The pillar of skulls itself is pretty easy to kill, he uses graveyard (throws delayed punishers) that deal decent damage, and casts psychic scream to fear your minions away (when struck).
The Pillar has an heroic shield, meaning their resistances will randomly drop making it vulnerable to an element damage. Once you killed the Pillar of skulls, beware..
Part 5: Final Boss: Kabraxis
The boss itself isn't too hard, but he will annoy you constantly witch his melee attacks to prevent you from attacking him. His most deadly skills are "Punisher Barrage" and "Broadside" which will be cast when he takes damage. Avoid these to not die.
The boss' only spell is a modified version of Vessel of Judgement, which doesn't deal deadly damage but is required to be avoided, or you will likely die.
Kabraxis will try to swarm you with skeletons when he attacks, these skeletons are almost harmful and will help you to leech / proc skills. They also cast doom when they die. On updated versions he will blink to you and cast the skeleton swarm after 1 second. This is to avoid the uber from being cheesed between lava parts on Chaos Sanctuary.
Everytime kabraxis kills you (or a minion) it will kill the entire screen. So avoid summons / reanimates , or you will likely die. In addition to that, when he kills anything, he will spawn a pack of veil rats, which are harmful but will try to swarm you and your body.
Kabraxis has an Heroic shield, meaning he will randomly drop his resistances making it possible to deal damage to him. Once you managed to kill him, you are ewarded with the following charm:

Uldyssian's Ghost x5: Slow moving, use teleport, scorpion blade, gift of vanquishing and gift of celerity. They have thorns aura which will reflect damage when you hit them on a melee strike. Unkillable.
Uldyssian: Time Wave, Patriot Sentry, Rapture, Blink, casts deathstrike when taking damage. Has no %Avoid. He can be damaged using Purify Skill. If you die, he has a chance to heal his entire health.
STRATEGY
While fighting the previous bosses you might encounter yourself against immunes of all type. You might need to get several sources of elemental damage to deal against these. Most of them are easy killable with and end character. Against the last memory - Baal - you need to have high reflexes and high killspeed. Otherwise you will end up swarmed by Baal Images all over the level. They use Shower of Rocks, so you might want to move away from them.
Against uldyssian, you need the basic purify strategy - purify and keep Open Wounds active on him. But be careful on this step, since he will use Deathstrike when damaged, and if it kills you he might heal his entire life. Be careful that he teleports, so make sure he doesn't teleport to you if you use the stairs to go to the palace, because he might follow you. Use a town portal to avoid this.
REWARD
He has a 50% Chance to drop a powerful charm and 2% chance to drop a trophy. In addition to that he will drop 2-3 high tier/Sacred Uniques.
VIDEO
Note: this video was recorded in Cold Plains, not in Harem. The uber is trickier in Harem because you have less space. In addition, Uldyssian's HP is higher than what it was in the video (4 times higher).
