Matriarch Aldis

Matriarch Aldis is a giantess found in a mountainous vale of Scalecaller Peak, acting as the second boss of the dungeon. She leads the giants found there and is infected with Nathan Mortieu's plague, making her much stronger. She is aided by Corrupted Leimenids who attempt to cause geyser eruptions throughout the fight. The water beneath the icesheet is infected with a deadly plague and causes damage when stood in.

The Corrupted Leimenid Corpse to the left of the door out of the area can be interacted with to obtain part of the cure for Jorvuld Davaux.

She has a chance to collectively drop a sample of Infected Flesh.

Pulverizing Pummel: The boss smashes its club in front of itself dealing very high physical damage as indicated by a red cone. Avoid this if possible.
