Behaviour

Boss

Attacks on a 0.7-second cadence instead of the standard 1.1, and announces itself in the message log on spawn. One instance may be alive in its region at a time.

Drops

Coins and experience are awarded separately and are not part of the drop table.

Location

Gaia, the Gardener spawns inside the Garden, a region of radius 18 centred on 210, 40. It occupies slot 3 of 3 on that spawn table, and being a unique boss it clears only 0.6% of rolls — and only when no other instance is alive. It shares the table with 3 other creatures.

Others on this spawn table

• Garden Gnome 140 HP
• Thorn Beast 320 HP
• Orchard Warden 250 HP

Strategy

• Only one may be alive in the region at a time — clear the trash first so nothing adds mid-fight.
• At 90 a hit, two connected swings will end most unarmoured players. Armour matters more than damage here.
