Overview
Adventure Guide says
Drest'agath's appendages burst through the floor and attack enemies who enter her lair. When appendages are destroyed, pools of Void Infused Ichor form around their corpse. Enemies who touch Void Infused Ichor bypass the continual healing provided by Drest'agath's Aberrant Regeneration. In addition to creating pools of Void Infused Ichor, destroying a tentacle partially fills Drest'agath's Agony bar. Upon reaching 100 Agony, Drest'agath begins Throes of Agony.

- Destroying appendages can trigger Throes of Agony.
- Void Glare, Entropic Crash and Mutterings of Insanity are each increased in power based on how many of each type of appendage is active.
- Be aware of which allies are inside Obscuring Cloud, as it will block line of sight in and out of the cloud.
