This boss's marks deal a fixed amount set for its level (63), in place of the blow multiples below: a move you could dodge 942 damage, a hazard 824 damage, its signature failed 1,295 damage, burning ground 282 damage a second. More levels and better gear mean more health, so the same hit takes a smaller part of it. Armour, shields and barriers turn aside at most 20% of it.

It marks a circle under each of its nearest foes (1/2/3 for 1, 2–3 and 4–5 players; radius 1.8 tiles); 1.5 s later all of them strike at once, 1.6 × a normal blow to whoever is inside. It calls out: "Frozen cones rain down!"

WhenIn turn: Root Lines and Cone Rain; one move every 7.5 s, the first 5 s into the fight.

EnragedMoves every 5.6 s.

TipStep out of your own circle, not into a neighbour's: keep a little apart.

It marks lanes from itself through the party (2/3/4 for 1, 2–3 and 4–5 players), 1.8 tiles wide; 1.6 s later it strikes down them, hitting everyone inside for 1.8 × a normal blow.

WhenIn turn: Root Lines and Cone Rain; one move every 7.5 s, the first 5 s into the fight.

EnragedMoves every 5.6 s.

TipStep sideways out of your lane (0.9 tiles is enough): running along it doesn't help.

A 90° cone 7 tiles long at the one holding it, marked 1.5 s ahead: 1.5 × a normal blow. 2 stack(s) of Frost.

When8.5 s into the fight, then every 15 s.

EnragedEvery 11 s.

TipStep out of the cone, to the side.

Rooted, it turns to the one holding it. Every blow notches the side it comes from (north, east, south or west); a notch is cut through by 8% of its health from that side. Then it creaks for 2.5 s and falls that way: a line 10 tiles long and 2 tiles wide. Whoever lies on it takes 1,295 damage, takes 2 stacks of Frost and is knocked down 1 s; a brazier on it goes out for 40 s, and the frost and roots on it are crushed away. Felled, it lies 8 s and takes 40% more. At 50% the snow off its crown covers a brazier for 30 s; from 25% its notches fill 30% faster and the line is 3 tiles wide.

WhenWhenever a notch is cut through

TipStrike it from a side with no brazier; when it creaks, step off the red line, then everyone strikes the fallen trunk. Alone its notches fill 1.5× faster, it creaks for 3 s and the line is 1.5 tiles wide.

It flushes red and rages: its normal blows come 1.3× as often, and all its blows are 15% harder.

WhenAt 30% of its health; it lasts to the end of the fight.

EnragedMoves every 5.6 s.

TipThe last part is the most dangerous: save your strong skills and potions for it, and dodging the marks matters more than ever.
