Greydwarf Shaman

Forest Monsters
What to know

Greydwarf Shaman has 60 health and spawns in the Meadows and Black Forest.

It takes extra damage from fire; it resists poison; spirit does nothing to it at all. Blunt, slash and pierce land at full damage, so that is what to bring.

Its hardest hit does 30 poison, out of 2 attacks.

Some of what it throws is elemental, so poison resistance is worth having.

You cannot block , so give yourself room to dodge instead.

Of everything craftable, Staff of Embers, Frostfire Crossbow and Thunderblood Crossbow put the most damage through what it resists.

It always drops Wood, Resin and Bukeperries.

About

Greydwarf Shaman is the healer of a Black Forest patrol, spawning only at night with 60 health. Its healing mist restores 17.5 health to every ally within 4.32 meters, short of the 20 it is set to give because the effect expires after 3.5 seconds, and it will keep a Troll standing as readily as a Greydwarf. Its unblockable poison cone does 30 poison across 7 meters but only fires from 2 to 5 meters away, so pressing right up against it leaves nothing but a 14 slash scratch. It drops 1 to 2 Resin, 1 to 2 Bukeperries, Wood, a Greydwarf Eye half the time, and the Greydwarf Shaman Trophy at 10 percent.

Fighting it

Kill the shaman first, always. The healing mist can out-heal your early damage output, and the poison cone punishes anyone who brawls inside it. An arrow or two from outside the cone settles it.

Each 64 m zone keeps its own timer per entry and rolls the chance once per interval while loaded; a zone never loaded before rolls the moment you arrive. The spawn lands 40 to 80 m from a player, never inside a base unless noted, and "max near you" counts the loaded area around that zone. Dungeon and camp spawners are separate and not counted here.
