Aendisea's Bane

"We became greedy. [...] Nature fought back."

- Forgotten inscription in the Ruins



= Description =

Aendisea's Bane is a Brutal that embodies nature's merciless power. As the end of the nation of Aendisea and an incarnation of nature's wrath, the Bane towers over even the most ancient trees of the Shadow Valley. Not many know of it's existence, for good reason, since it remained dormant within the very temple where the Aendiseans tried to control the uncontrollable. It can only be awoken by lighting the fire in front of said temple, ignoring the long-forgotten warnings that are the only sign of the Bane's victims. The fool who would dare should avoid the Ruins of Aendisea on pain of death, for even the monstrous Beast of the Valley never hunts on these sacred grounds for a reason.

= Unleashing the Bane = To find this wild Brutal, you need to find the extinguished fire near a little building in the southwest corner of the Shadow Valley. It's directly south of the Ruins of Aendisea, opposite the lair of the Beast. Once the fire is lit, the Bane can be encountered like any other [[Brutals#Wild|wild Brutal] inside the Ruins.

= Battle = A fairly challenging Brutal. Very heavy on the magical damage and high HP pool. Don't be confused by her appearance of an overgrown crawler : the Bane's dodge is only average, and her ranged attacks deal magical damage, not piercing.

= Rewards = In addition to the normal rewards of a fight (gold and experience), the Bane always drops a unique Cape that gives a bonus to item drops and increases both the weight limit and the critical chance.
