Hungarfen Abilities & Strategy
Hungarfen is a large fungal giant, and the first boss of The Underbog.
Abilities
-
Underbog Mushrooms: Spawn at random locations on the platform and immediately begin to grow in size. After a few seconds they explode and release a Spore Cloud that lasts 20 seconds. The cloud inflicts 360 nature damage every 2 second. This can stack up to 5 times.
-
Foul Spores: At 20% health he roots himself and projects an AoE poison cloud which hits for between 400 and 600 damage every second. Hungarfen is then healed for 4x the damage done directly (DoTs still damage in the usual manner.) 15 yard radius.
Strategy
For the first 80% this is a basic tank and spank fight, with the exception that the tank must move Hungarfen around to avoid the Underbog Mushrooms. The Mushrooms will spawn through out the fight, and all party members must make sure to stay alert and move when one is near you. The easiest way to find and move away from the mushrooms is to display name plates as you'll often see the name plate before you see the mushroom itself and can move away. This is especially helpful for the tank who may not be able to see mushrooms spawning behind Hungarfen's legs.
When he hits 20% he will begin using Foul Spores. All party members, including the tank, should move away from Hungarfen so no one takes damage from the AoE as he will heal based on the damage done from it. Shortly thereafter, he will release from Foul Spores and the group can resume attacking while avoiding the Underbog Mushrooms until he is dead.
Heroic Mode
On heroic mode, he hits the tank for around 2,200 per melee attack. The Mushrooms also spawn at an increased rate in bursts, sometimes at a rate of 1 per second for around 15 seconds, then slowing down to the normal mushroom spawn rate.
