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 is consumed/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 killed.
    • The Aegis wielder dies and reincarnates, consuming the Aegis.
    • 5 minutes pass since the Aegis was picked up by a hero.
      • In Turbo Mode, the duration is shortened to 4 minutes.
      • This means it is impossible for multiple Aegis to exist in a match.

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.
  • When selecting Roshan, this item can be seen in his inventory.
