Shade of Galenwe

The Shade of Galenwe is a shadowy clone of the Welkynar Knight Galenwe, created by Z'Maja. He serves as an optional boss, though defeating him will make the battle with Z'Maja easier.

He is initially seen kneeling with a slight forcefield and numerous Yaghra around him, and defeating those creatures will cause him to enter combat and summon his shadow gryphon, the Shade of Falarielle.

Skills and AbilitiesEdit

The Shade of Galenwe and his gryphon become enraged and gain increased damage output when close together, so splitting them is advised.

Ice Spike
Galenwe will jump to the furthest player away from him and release a circle of ice that deals significant damage. If a player is not blocking this attack, they will be knocked back but if they are blocking they will be staggered. Players can move out of the aoe indicator before Galenwe lands the attack to take no damage.
Savage Winds
Galenwe will put his sword in the ground and begin to channel an attack. Small aoe ice spikes that do significant damage will appear under the feet of random players until he stops his attack or is interrupted by a player.
Ice Cage
Galenwe drops an ice ring around himself that does a large initial hit and stacking damage if stood in. A player can dodge roll through the ring to get in or out of it, but will still take some damage.
Frost Aura
Galenwe will pause and summon an ice aura around him that does light aoe damage to anyone standing in it.
Aspect of Winter
At 60% health on veteran difficulty, Galenwe will stop and do an uninterruptible channel. Three random players will be chosen and have growing aoe circles at their feet. Upon the end of the cast, those players and everybody inside the aoe will have a meteor strike them. If this attack is not blocked, it will knock a player down and stun them. It is important to take these meteors away from players if possible, especially other players targeted by meteors. Overlapping meteors will kill any player caught in the overlap. The meteor mechanic intentionally excludes anybody who has taunt on a boss and any player within Z'Maja's Shadow Realm.
Ravaging Blow
Galenwe's heavy attack. Deals major physical damage and must be blocked.

"You dare to strike my gryphon? Enough!"
"You'll pay for harming Falarielle!"
"My gryphon is not to be trifled with, you fools!"

"Unleash your freezing winds, Falarielle!"
