Units must be within Roshan's spawn location in order to attack him. Roshan, however can attack anyone in his attack range, even if he is not in his cave.

So, units that are attacking Roshan will not be seen by other enemies outside of the cave, unless a skill that gives vision such as [[Templar Assassin]]'s [[Templar Assassin#Psionic Trap|Psionic Trap]], [[Invoker]]'s [[Invoker#Sun Strike|Sun Strike]], [[Ancient Apparition]]'s [[Ancient Apparition#Ice Vortex|Ice Vortex]], or [[Clockwerk]]'s [[Clockwerk#Rocket Flare|Rocket Flare]] is used inside of the pit.

To attack Roshan the units must be within his spawning location, Roshan on the other hand can attack anyone anywhere if you happen to lure him away. The vision into the spawning location is restricted, and you have to really walk into the spawn to be able to see whats going on in there. Observer Wards and Sentry Wards can not be placed inside the spawning location either, so a team is generally safe from being spotted while fighting Roshan (exceptions consist from hero skills like Spin Web, Psionic Trap and Call of the Wild).

A picture of Roshan

Roshan, sometimes also referred to as Roshan the Immortal, is the most powerful neutral creep in Dota 2. It easily outmatches most heroes in one vs one combat. A team generally waits until later in the game where the damage dealers have better items, or tries to take it on with the entire team.

Every 4 minutes (starting at first lane creep spawn) Roshan gets stronger, gaining: +500 hp, +10 damage and +0.5 armor (given by an aura).

Modifiers:

  • Spell Block - "Roshan will block one targeted spell every 15 seconds."
  • Devotion - "Armor bonus that increases as time goes on."
  • Waiting - "Roshan is waiting for a victim to attack!"

Aegis and Cheese

When Roshan is killed, he always drops an Aegis. Once picked up, this item cannot be dropped or given to another hero. When the carrier of Aegis dies, a tombstone spawns on the corpse. After five seconds the hero respawns with full hp and mana on top of the tombstone, which consumes the Aegis. If the Aegis carrier does not die within six minutes of picking it up, the Aegis is removed from the carrier's inventory , and subsequently, is returned to Roshan, along with granting a buff to the wielder similar to the Regeneration rune that regenerates Health and Mana in a quick pace, but dispells on damage.


After Roshan has been killed two times, on his next respawn he begins to carry Cheese along with an Aegis. Cheese can be shared with allies, or sold for 500 gold. When used, it will instantly restore 2500 hp and 1000 mana to the user.

Protected area

Units must be within Roshan's spawn location in order to attack him. Roshan, however can attack anyone in his attack range, even if he is not in his cave. Units outside of his cave cannot see inside without going into it. So, units that are attacking Roshan will not be seen by other enemies outside of the cave, unless a skill that gives vision such as Templar Assassin's Psionic Trap, Invoker's Sun Strike, Ancient Apparition's Ice Vortex, or Clockwerk's Rocket Flare is used inside of the pit.

Trivia

  • Roshan originates from the Urdu/Sanskrit language for "Light." In Urdu/Sanskrit Roshan means light particularly the brightness of light. Roshan is also a verb in Urdu meaning "to enlighten."
  • According to the Are We Heroes Yet? comic, Roshan is the only being to have killed a Shopkeeper, thus claiming the Aegis of the Immortal, and being cursed to have his treasure stolen from him again and again.
  • Roshan was named after Guinsoo's bowling ball.[1]
