Skills and Abilities

The Gatekeeper is invulnerable until you dispatch the three Pangrit Dens scattered around the arena with Bristlepitch.

Slash

The boss deals moderate physical damage with its sword.

Bristlebarb

The boss throws a glob of poison at one person which deals moderate poison damage. It will explode after a short time unless the afflicted uses the synergy to fling the poison to the ground at their feet. The boss usually afflicts someone with poison after a Pangrit Den appears. In order to smother the den and keep Pangrits from entering the field, the afflicted must run to the Pangrit Den and throw the poison down on top of it. The den will disappear, and any Pangrits caught in the AoE will die. The poison should ideally be flung away from the group.

Bristlepitch

The poison AoE left behind when someone afflicted with Bristlebarb throws the poison down or the barb explodes. This deals massive continuous damage to targets standing inside.

Bristlebarage [sic]

The boss stops, targets one party member, and assaults them with a barrage of poison globs. This deals major damage.
