You will need to defeat several taskmasters and Foreman Llothan. Follow Tervur to find him hiding and defeat the Sentinel of Rkugamz. Speak to Nervyna to complete the quest.

Boss Encounters

Darkshade Caverns I features six boss encounters. Select a boss below for a full breakdown of its mechanics and strategy.

Head Shepherd Neloren

A deceptively simple fight where keeping things under control is more important than raw damage.

Foreman Llothan

A mobile fight that can become increasingly chaotic if the group loses control of the room.

The Hive Lord

Straightforward on paper, but handling this boss the wrong way can quickly make things difficult.

Cavern Patriarch

One of the simpler bosses in the dungeon, although careless positioning can still cause problems.

Cutting Sphere

A dangerous fight where positioning and keeping the boss under control are extremely important.

Sentinel of Rkugamz

The final boss changes its behaviour throughout the fight, demanding different reactions from the group.
