Its lair is at (44, -38) – the world map in the game marks it. A fight for three to five heroes; it returns 12–24 h after it falls. A hero 9 or more levels above it cannot hurt it. After 11 minutes of a fight it rages and hits four times as hard – and twice as hard again every minute after, up to 256 times. Its health is for four heroes and grows or shrinks 15% with every hero more or fewer fighting it (up to ten) – a hero counts once they have dealt 0.5% of the four heroes' health and stand no more than 8 levels below it.
The whole pile goes to the party – or the hero – that dealt the most damage; every hero credited with the kill shares 10 times a world boss's experience by damage and earns 12 raid points, and each of their guilds gains 300 reputation.
Gathering
