Strategy

In Hero on the Halfshell, you are required to capture a giant turtle mini-boss named Gil Turtle. Before you start the fight, locate the environmental object Herb Patch in the boss room. You will need to interact with it to capture the boss. When you start the fight, defeat the Amateur Raider adds and have your tank take Gil Turtle's aggro. Defeat additional adds such as Efts that enter the boss room. After the turtle has taken some damage, a Fire Sprite spawns. Your party needs to kill the Fire Sprite as soon as possible. The Sprite drops a item that allows your party to use the Herb Patch. Pull the Gil Turtle to the Herb Patch then interact with the Herb Patch. The patch emits a column of smoke that put the turtle to sleep, allowing you to capture it.

• Be sure to lure the Gil Turtle to the herb patch before lighting it.

Description

Wealthy noble, Teledji Adeledji, has prized pet, a rare gil turtle, kidnapped by ruthless bandits who seek a sizable ransom for the gentle wavekin's return. Always a man of principle Teledji Adeledji has decided that instead of caving to the bandit's demands, he will offer the same ransom to anyone who can safely retrieve his pet from the clutches of evil.

After weakening the gil turtle, slay the fire sprites and use their cores to light a special herb on fire. The smoke released should be powerful enough to put the creature to sleep, but only if the turtle is close enough to the flames.
