FIGHT OVERVIEW
  • This fight alternates between two phases: a P1 and an intermission.

  • In P1, adds spawn frequently. Kill them quickly, as they deal increasing damage.

  • When Gnarlroot gets to 100 energy, an intermission starts. He becomes immune and builds walls of roots.

  • Touch the roots to burn them. When all roots have been burned, the boss takes 100% more damage for 20s, then P1 starts again.
