Recipe

The ▶️ Aegis of the Immortal is an item which is dropped by Roshan on his first death and onwards.

Additional Information[]

  • The Aegis of the Immortal cannot be dropped or sold.
  • The Aegis disappears when one of the following happens, be it in a player’s inventory, or still on the ground where Roshan dropped it:
    • Roshan respawns 8–11 minutes after being slain.
    • The Aegis wielder dies and reincarnates, using up the Aegis.
    • Five minutes pass since the Aegis was picked up by a hero.
      • This means it is impossible for multiple Aegis to exist in a match.

Ability[]

Brings you to life with full health and mana 5 seconds after you die, at the location where you died.

Reincarnation must be used within 5 minutes or Aegis of the Immortal disappears. If it expires, it will heal you over 5 seconds (dispels on damage).

Notes:

  • Reincarnation cannot be prevented in any way. If a hero dies with it, it is used.

  • Revives with full health and mana. Spells and items are not refreshed.
  • Provides 1800/800 ground vision at the death location during its delay.
  • When Roshan reclaims the Aegis, the wielding hero is granted health and mana regeneration for a short duration.
    • Can regenerate up to 100% of the hero’s max health and mana over its full duration.
    • The hero’s max health and mana are checked periodically and the values adapted instantly.
  • Damage greater than 0 from any player (including allies, excluding self) or Roshan dispels the effect.
    • Does not get dispelled by damage flagged as HP Removal.

Lore[]

According to the characters in the Dota 2 Comic “Are We Heroes Yet” Roshan stole the Aegis of the Immortal from a Shop Keeper whom he killed. The Gods then cursed Roshan to have his life and treasure stolen repeatedly as punishment for his crime.[1]

Trivia[]

  • Aegis was previously an ordinary recipe item that contained three charges. After it was removed, it was then obtainable as a droppable item from Roshan.
  • In Greek mythology, an aegis that was described as “ageless and immortal” was presented to Zeus.
