Foulhide – Selene's Web Boss

Foulhide Boss - Selene's Web

Overview

Foulhide is encountered in Selene's Web . This boss is actually very simple although he looks a lot bigger than he really is. There is a lot going on in the fight and the team needs to stay together but so long as the boss is taunted you shouldn’t have a problem. There are mechanics to follow but they are very straightforward and obvious to spot.

Mechanics

Stomp – The boss will stomp and do damage in a small frontal AOE attack. Anyone caught in this will take a LOT of damage, if you are a tank you can block it but DPS and heals should step out of this. BUT let’s face it no one but the tank should be standing in front of the boss!

Stranglers – Every time the boss stomps more and more stranglers spawn in the room, they barely do anything at all, although they look scary. Just don’t damage them and they won’t interact with you.

Charge – This HUGE straight-line AOE attack is very easy to spot. Just like sword and board enemies, the boss will charge in a straight line until he hits the edge of the area. You can block this but there is no need, it is so huge and obvious you should be able to have plenty of time to just step out of it, move away, let the boss pass then continue taking him down where he finishes his charge.

Roar – Occasionally the boss will roar and the group will be feared in random directions. This lasts about 2-3 seconds and you lose all control of your character, you run away. However, you can break free of this. So all you have to do is keep enough stamina throughout the fight to break and this will never be a problem. Very similar to the lion boss at the beginning of Volenfell. Above all the boss will move around so the tank should stand in front, the group should stand behind and each time the boss moves, move with him and get back into formation. Despite his size, this is a very slow, sluggish, and easy boss to kill.

Tips & Strategy

  • Tank: Stay in front of the boss and keep him taunted.
  • DPS: Stay behind the boss and leave the Stranglers alone.
  • Healer: Stay with the group and behind the boss.
  • Everyone: Preserve stamina for Roar and move back into formation when the boss moves.
