While one Snarbolax of this nature would not be too bad, our friends at Three Rings decided it would be fun to add two! You have to face two snarling, rabid, vicious beasts! So what should you expect?  Well, like all beasts he is weak to piercing, so bringing [[Barbarous Thorn Blade]] would not be a bad idea. On the contrary, he is resistant to elemental, so your precious [[Divine Avenger]] won't help here. Unlike the Roarmulus Twins, red or not, these guys are two separate beings! They must be killed individually! You can also expect an annoying little silk wing to heal these two through the whole fight! Let's not forget, he has kept his most classic feature, his [[Exploration#Beast_Bells|Beast Bell]]! They are immune to all damage while black, and can only attack in yellow form. To get them into yellow, or stunned, form you must slam the Beast Bell while at least one of them are near it! Unlike the original Snarbolax, these guys can still attack in stunned form!

Battle

One of the Rabid Snarbolaxes, practically foaming at the mouth for a chance to take a bite out of a knight.

Strategy

While one Snarbolax of this nature would not be too bad, Three Rings decided it would be fun to add another! You will face two rabid, snarling, vicious beasts in this boss battle! Like all beasts, the Rabid Snarbolax are weak to piercing, so bringing a Barbarous Thorn Blade or another weapon that deals piercing damage is a good idea. Contrarily, they are resistant to elemental, so even popular and powerful weapons like the Divine Avenger won't help here. Unlike the Roarmulus Twins, red or otherwise, these guys are two separate creatures and they must be killed individually! A respawning little Silkwing heals the two at a rate of 63 health points per second, when present and it is therefore highly recommended that it be slain as quickly as possible whenever it appears. The Beast Bell remains, and like the normal Snarbolax, is the only way to defeat them. They are immune to all damage while black/green and are vulnerable when stunned. When stunned, they will change color to tan/orange. To stun them, the Beast Bell must be struck while one or both of them are near it. Like the original Snarbolax, the Rabid Snarbolax can still attack while they are stunned.

Tactics

Shielding is important in this boss fight, as the Snarbolax like to burrow underground creating long trails of spikes across the battlefield. This should be very familiar to knights that have fought the original Snarbolax. The only difference here is that they also inflict poison status when they damage knights.

It is advisable to assign a knight in your team to "take care of", (mercilessly kill), the Silkwing.

A different knight should be assigned to be the Beast Bell basher, he or she should slam the bell whenever a Snarbolax is within range of the stun effect. When tan/orange, everyone should attack stunned Snarbolax until they return to impervious black/green or die. Repeat this process until they are both dead and you're home free!

You should also take care not to overextend attacks as the battlefield is surrounded by hedges of poisonous thorn bushes. This makes combo attacks risky as you could roll off the targeted snarbolax and into damaging bushes.

Knights not actively engaged in another activity should watch for and attack the Swarm Source when it grows to minimize the stun effect on knights and the buff effect on the Snarbolax.

Notes

  • This boss was added to the game in release 2011-10-19 with the introduction of Shadow Lairs.
  • The Artifact-Echo Stone.png Echo Stone: Gloaming Wildwoods can be obtained after reaching the Sanctuary.
  • The Crafting-Nightmare Mane.png Nightmare Mane is made available to all members of the party upon reaching the Sanctuary.
  • Just like the regular Snarbolax, these Snarbolax's are sometimes randomly immune to the Beast Bell.
  • Compared to the Original Snarbolax Lair, this lair has quadruple the number of boxes and rewards waiting next to the elevator.
