Additional Information

Top bar icons showing which hero has the Aegis of the Immortal, visible to spectators only. Has higher priority than the icons of Cheese, but lower than Smoke of Deceit.

• 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.

  • The countdown always starts at 5 minutes, it does not consider Roshan's respawn timer.

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.

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.
