Overgrown Ancient

Professors Mystakria and Ichistrasz have used just a touch too much magic in an effort to clear the botany labs. Now they have a big, leafy problem on their hands in the form of an Overgrown Ancient that threatens to undo all their hard work.

What it does.

From the adventure guide, with tank, healer and damage notes.

Overview

The Overgrown Ancient attempts to crush the tank with Barkbreaker and repeatedly forces waves of dormant lashers to grow with Germinate.

Upon reaching 100 energy, the Overgrown Ancient uses Burst Forth to awaken all dormant lashers that have not yet been killed, causing them to attack players.

Tanks

Being hit by Barkbreaker greatly increases Physical damage taken for a short time after.
Once awakened by Burst Forth, Hungry Lashers can inflict significant damage if left unchecked.
Ancient Branches cast Healing Touch, which can be interrupted.

Damage Dealers

Hungry Lashers can be damaged and killed even before the Ancient awakens them with Burst Forth.
Ancient Branches cast Healing Touch, which can be interrupted.

Healers

The target of Barkbreaker takes greatly increased Physical damage for a short time after being hit.
Burst Forth inflicts significant damage to all party members.
