Reward: 1830 experience, 130 gil

Strategy

The end boss of this Guildhest is a poison-spewing plant called Toxic Battrap.

Every few seconds, Toxic Battrap spawns a purple puddle on the ground. The puddles poison all the players standing in it. Be sure to avoid standing in the puddles. Periodically, adds will spawn. Damage dealers should quickly kill the adds before returning to the boss.

• Avoid standing in the purple puddles of poison.

Tank Mechanics

While the Toxic Battrap spawns the toxic puddle, tanks should kite the boss to the next closest spot that does not have a puddle. make sure to face the boss away from the party. The back of the boss should also not be in the toxic puddle.

Dps Mechanics

Do not stand in the toxic puddle longer than needed too - this will make it much more difficult for the healer to keep up.

Always dps the smaller mobs first before returning to the boss. If the boss is below 10%, focus dps on the boss and ignore the smaller mobs that spawn.

Description

When taken into the lungs, the pollen can cause severe irritation, nausea and in the case of extended exposure, when death. These vile seedkin must be dealt with before the entire Twelveswood is engulfed in a cloud of despair!
