Skills and Abilities[edit]

As an elite rank enemy, Matron Grygarsnit is immune to crowd control.

Flare
Matron Grygarsnit shoots a fireball as a basic ranged attack, dealing low flame damage.
Fire Bomb
Matron Grygarsnit summons a pool of fire under her target, indicated by a circular AoE, dealing moderate flame damage.
Raven Storm
Matron Grygarsnit sends a storm of flaming crows out towards her target, dealing moderate-high flame damage and staggering them. This can be interrupted. Blocking negates the stagger.
Shadow Strike/Surround
When close to her, Matron Grygarsnit teleports away from, and most often behind, their target to create distance.
Matron Ritual Cast Start
When the combat starts, at 75% and at 41% Health, Matron Grygarsnit immediately launches a blue magical orb at one of the dead Reachmen surrounding her, bringing them back to life as aBriarheart Brute or a Briarheart Wildling. The Briarhearts die when Matron Grygarsnit is defeated. Two are summoned each time if at least two players fight Matron Grygarsnit.

Dialogue[edit]

When you arrive, she'll say:

"Have you come to join my army, then? It only takes a little seed."

Whenever she resurrects Reachfolk as Briarheart Brutes or Briarheart Wildlings :

"Rise from your grave, defend the tree! I command you!"

Bugs[edit]

  • Blocking "Raven Storm" doesn't reduce the damage taken. ?
  • Her resurrection dialogue doesn't cut short if an other resurrection happens, this means she often continues to talk after she dies. ?
