Description: This fight goes through five phases. Halsaime is only vulnerable when in human form - while in his Spirit forms, he can take damage, but he regenerates nearly instantly. To begin with, Halsaime is in human form, and after a short speech attacks the party, using the spells listed above. When he is reduced to 2/3 health, several things happen simultaneously. Halsaime transforms into his Spirit Wolf form, harassing the party with melee trip attacks. At the same time, a Storm of Vengeance effect is triggered in the area. Also, many enemies are spawned in a very wide circle around the centre of the area. These include Bears, Corrupted Druids and Corrupted Dryads. Only when all of these enemies are killed does Halsaime turn back to human form, rendering him vulnerable again. He returns to fighting the party with spells, and when he is reduced to 1/3 health, he changes to his Spirit Bear form. He again harasses the party with melee attacks and knockdown abilities, and enemies are again spawned. It is necessary to once again kill all of the spawned enemies before Halsaime becomes human for the last time, whence he can finally be defeated.
