General Graardor (Hm)

From Emps-World Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

General Graardor (Hm) is a hardmode version of General Graardor. As the name suggest, he is harder to beat than his regular counterpart. Apart from increased stats and buffed minions, General Graardor (Hm) also has different mechanics and his droptable is extended with the Bandos artefact drop.

One can fight General Graardor (Hm) by right clicking on the door to the Bandos boss room, and select "join instance (hm)". Similar to the regular version, he drops items for the three highest damage dealers.

Mechanics

General Graardor has a couple mechanics he will use throughout the fight and is aided by his three minions: Sergeant Strongstack, who uses melee attacks; Sergeant Steelwill, who uses magic attacks; and Sergeant Grimspike, who uses ranged attacks. These minions have improved combat power compared to the ones that aid the regular boss.

Graardor himself utilizes three different attacks. The first is a multi-target melee attack where he swings his fist at the player, hitting any targets within a 3x3 tile area, dealing up to 68 melee damage if the player is not using the Protect from Melee prayer. While swinging, Graardor often sends out a yellow-green projectile, freezing the target for about 2 seconds upon hit. However, this projectile can be dodged by moving 1 or more tiles.

The second is a multi-target ranged attack where Graardor slams the ground with his fists, sending out a fast-moving projectile towards the player, dealing up to 68 ranged damage if the player is not using the Protect from Ranged prayer. Be aware that this projectile travels much faster than the one that is sent out by regular Graardor!

The third is a multi-target magic attack. For this attack, Graardor also slams the ground with his fists, but instead of a sending a ranged projectile, now an ice spike appears above the player's head. It takes about 2-3 seconds for the spike to drop, dealing up to 67 magic damage if the player is not using the Protect from Magic prayer. However, this attack can also be dodged by moving 1 or more tiles.

As the fight progresses, Graardor's attack speed will gradually increase depending on the amount of hitpoints he has remaining. Additionally, he can also buff the attack speed of his minions, in which he will pause to kneel and shout "Bandos give me strength", surrounding his minions in a veil of blue electricity that deals 5 damage to them. This attack does not deal damage directly to the player, but rather indirectly through the increase of the minions' attack speed.
