Old Shuck

General Notes Casts earth-based magic including Stone VI, Stonega V, Quake II, Slowga, and Breakga, as well as Sleepga. Will occasionally howl throughout the fight, increasing Shuck's level and attributes. This seems to be capped at 5 howls per fight. After each howl hate is reset. Uses Gates of Hades above 50%, then Acheron Flame below 50%. Standing behind Old Shuck with hate will enable use of Scorching Lash which may easily 1-shot people, especially after leveling up. Take care with positioning after howls, as he may follow with Scorching Lash depending on the position of the target with hate. Has Enblind on melee attacks and Earth Spikes during casting which deal damage and cause Flash. It is currently unknown how to proc and reset Old Shuck's level during the fight. Most strategies revolve around zerging before he levels up too much. Although sufficiently gearing and buffing against the stat increases is certainly not out of the question anymore.
