Tips & Tricks

• The doom hounds are often the scariest part of the encounter. They spawn extremely dangerous monsters for where Grunn can be encountered. The Howl status effect can be resisted by willpower, though it takes Will+++++ to be fully immune. You can also use a potion of cancellation to remove the Howl status.
  • Doom Howl spawns enemies from Tartarus around the player for a short time. Aside from the heavy-hitting bone dragons and reapers, living players should fear the torment of tormentors and Tzitzimimeh. The latter, with their irresistible, AC and EV-bypassing Dispel Undead Range, are even scarier to undead characters, whether naturally or under the effect of Necromutation. Finally, putrid mouths can breathe debilitating miasma, leaving you slowed and even more vulnerable to the onslaught (not to mention Grunn himself).
• Mind Grunn himself, who often comes with a highly enchanted heavy polearm of draining. Still, if alone, he's just an upscaled gnoll with a polearm. Many characters can stay out of his reach, or simply tank the hits.
