The Voidlands Watcher is one of the five "Watchers of the Netherrealm". You must defeat any combination of these Watchers 4 times to challenge the Traveler, one of the pinnacle bosses. The Watchers of the Netherrealm are harder than typical Beacon Bosses. The difficulty of the Watcher is based on which Timemark (1-8) you are attempting.
In order to fight the Voidlands Watcher, you have to generate enough Stage Attention. The required amount varies based on your chosen Timemark Level, ranging from 4-10.
Watchers have specific loot tables. Chaos Invasion Card Inheritance does not affect the Watcher's fight or loot table in any way.

Voidlands Watcher Mechanics
The Voidlands watcher awaits in the top center of the Arena. This Watcher's abilities are slow but extremely lethal. Pay special attention to the ground, areas marked by a Yellow Circle are unsafe. It is highly recommended to have maxed out Lightning Resistance. The fight itself is split into 2 major Phases: The Boss Phase and Lightning Storm, each repeating multiple times.
Boss Phase
The Voidlands Watcher begins the fight casting a Lightning Ball Shield around himself. He then begins to rotate through his standard abilities (Lightning Strike, Lightning Ball, and Lightning Ball Shield). All of the Voidlands Watcher's standard abilities can be avoided with perpetual movement and avoiding close quarters combat. After a while the Voidlands Watcher casts Lightning Storm.
Note: Having trouble with Lightning Storm? If you kill the boss quickly, you won't need to deal with it.
Lightning Storm
The Voidlands Watcher creates a greater Lightning Ball Shield around himself before marking much of the Arena with Yellow Circles to be soon struck by lethal Lightning. Several waves of Lightning Strikes occur, making the arena uninhabitable. Lightning also strikes where you stand every other wave during Lightning Storm. When the Voidlands Watcher is under 75% HP, Lightning Storm is enhanced and becomes more lethal.
Lightning Storm is extremely dangerous, death is certain and swift to those who do not pay careful attention. Avoid dying by evacuating to the top right or the bottom of the Arena. Here, you find shelter from the Lightning Ball Shield and the waves of Lightning Strikes, but not the Lightning that strikes where you stand every other wave. These can be avoided with constant movement within your area of relative shelter.
