Atakhan is the new neutral objective inLeague of Legends, joining the list of Epic Monsters, such as Baron Nashor and theElemental Dragons. The so-called ‘Bringer of Ruin’, Atakhan, arrives as part of the Noxus Invasion for Season 1 of 2025, and interestingly, he is the first boss whose spawnlocation and form depends on prior in-game action.
These two variables should help every game feel even more unique than they already do, and teams will have to adapt their strategies and priorities depending on Atakhan and the rest of the game.
When & Where Will Atakhan Spawn In League Of Legends?
Atakhan’s Spawn Time
Atakhan will always spawn at the 20-minute mark. This means that Baron’s spawn has been pushed back to the 25-minute mark.
Atakhan’s Pit Location
Atakhan’s Pit, where players will fight him, alwaysspawns in the river at the 14-minute mark. However, depending on which side of the map has seen more damage and kills, this pit can spawn in theriver next to Top Lane orBot Lane.
Either way, this gives teams6 minutes to prepare to fight him. Atakhan’s Pit always has two small walls to make fights for his contention all the more bloodier. Thesewalls are permanent, sticking around after Atakhan has been slain.
