“The Immortal was said to possess a shield that protected him even from death.”
— Description in Dota 2

The Aegis of the Immortal is a utility item from DotA and Dota 2. Unlike normal utility items, it cannot be bought, but only left behind by Roshan when he dies.

Since the Aegis gives a free death, the carry of the team usually receives the Aegis. Therefore, very often the opposing team tries to deny or even steal the Aegis, the latter giving a big advantage since Roshan is a serious opponent.

Dota 2

Dota 2 is – unlike other big MOBA titles like League of Legends – free to play with all heroes. However, game items can be purchased in the Dota 2 store, but all of them have no effect on the gameplay. Only cosmetic items like different skins for the heroes can be purchased. Just like in Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Portal 2, it is possible to create your own content via the Steam Workshop.

Dota 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena title from Valve. The successor to the extremely popular Warcraft 3 modification DotA (Defense of the Ancients), Dota 2 was the company’s first strategy game and was released on the download platform Steam on July 9, 2013. The game is a free-to-play title that can be played completely free of charge and is financed through in-game microtransactions, similar to Team Fortress 2.
