Root

How it works

The wiki describes slender wooden bodies with several eyes, a grassy cape and an eyed halberd. One or two Roots appear depending on server size. While the Trees remain, the elevated enemies use Stare; clearing the Trees causes them to step down and use their full moveset. Defeating the ground-phase Roots is part of opening the next arena segment.

Advancing Combo consists of a thrust, spinning hits, a downward chop and a rising slash. The total listed eighty-three damage assumes the whole sequence lands. Its individual attacks have different damage and control effects; the rising part launches the victim upward. Sweeping Chop is signaled by a green flash and sound, while Stare gathers white light before a red flash and applies Gaze to entities looking toward the Root.

The Root page is marked as needing more ability data. In particular, Sweeping Chop’s cooldown remains unspecified, so the empty value is preserved instead of estimated from the Stare timer. The latter is separately listed as seven seconds. Root health uses a player-scaling formula in the source, but that formula is not evidence for the final boss’s missing HP. The October 2026 addition ties this NPC to the new forest encounter; the map link below shows its place in the complete progression.
