Gurthalahn the Deephunter

Gurthalahn the Deephunter is an extremely difficult and hidden optional boss in the Wrath of the Dragon campaign. Gurthalahn is an Abyssal, located within an ancient, hidden chamber accessed through the Midscott Mines. The Deephunter is a notoriously difficult boss who will prove a challenge for even the most veteran players.

Lore

Not much is known about this extremely powerful and bizarre creature. Long ago the Deephunter must have entered this cavern through an underground passage connecting to the deep seas. What Gurthalahn is doing in Cendall is anyone's guess, but this creature's ominous and sudden presence can only be a bad omen.

Boss Battle

Gurthalahn can only be reached by players in the fourth level of the WotD campaign through a hidden passge in the map using a special key dropped by one of the mini-bosses in the level. Getting to the Deephunter is one challenge, killing him is another. Gurthalahn possesses a brilliant control over water and ice magic, and barrages the player(s) with a devastating combination of both. This, combined with his brute strength and his massive, anchor-like mace make him an absolutely deadly force to be reckoned with. If this wasn't enough, as his health reaches the 50% mark, Gurthalahn summons a massive Kraken from the depths, which attacks the party with it's massive tentacles whilst they are busy battling the Deephunter, adding an extra, devastating layer to the chaos of the battle. Top-notch coordination is required from the player(s) in order to succeed in the battle against this abyssal foe.
