Gamyne Bandu, as seen in Fungal Grotto I

Gamyne Bandu is a Dark Elf member of the Spider Cult found in both Fungal Grotto I, as well as Fungal Grotto II. While she is initially friendly, she later serves as the first boss of Fungal Grotto II.

In Fungal Grotto II, she will be frozen in place on a boulder, being awoken by four mages after the spider cultists in the room are killed.

Lighting the Shadows[edit]

Gamyne being awakened in Fungal Grotto II

As you attack the Spider Cult, the cultists will take steps to fight back. Four supplicants can be found channelling shadow energy into Gamyne:

Spider Cult Supplicant: "Intruders! Quickly. Awaken Mistress Bandu!"
<The four supplicants awaken Gamyne and she is hostile>
Gamyne Bandu: "By the Ebony Blade, I will end you."

Skills and Abilities[edit]

As a boss type enemy, Gamyne Bandu is immune to all forms of crowd control effects.

Slash
A basic melee attack that does moderate physical damage. If taunted, the boss will be forced to use this attack on the tank only.
Ripper
A heavy melee attack that does high physical damage as well as knocking the target back. Blocking will reduce the damage taken and prevent the knockback. If taunted, the boss will be forced to use this attack on the tank only.
A player is subjected to a torture session
Torture Session
The boss damages and stuns a random player, and four Shadow Tormentors chain the player to the ground. A sword appears above the player's head and slowly descends. This attack cannot be avoided, and players cannot break free from it. To escape, the other members only need to kill one of the Shadow Tormentors in order to free the player.
Shadow Execution
If the players fail to free the trapped party member in time, the sword will impale that player resulting in an instant death.
Shadow Chains
The boss throws a purple orb at a random player. If the orb hits, that player will take moderate magical damage. On top of that, a purple beam may form between that player and another player. The purple orb can be dodged by rolling to ensure the beam does not form.
Chains of Misery
The beam does high magical damage over time. To break the beam, the two players must move away from each other until the beam breaks. To minimize the damage done by this attack, players should spread apart so the beam breaks faster.
Summon Obsidian Aspects
At various points throughout the fight, the boss will vanish and summon four Obsidian Aspects to attack the party. These enemies do moderate physical damage. Once all four have been defeated, the boss reappears. There appears to be no time limit to this stage of the fight, and players can keep one of the aspects alive to buy them time to recover resources before resuming the fight.

Bugs[edit]

  • The boss may not reappear immediately after the four Obsidian Aspects are defeated. Nevertheless, the boss should reappear after a moment.
  • Using Chain Pull, Shield Charge or Focused Charge on one of the Shadow Tormentors will cause the Shadow Execution sword to disappear, allowing trapped party members to escape from Torture Session unharmed even if other members do not kill the Shadow Tormentor in time.
