Abilities & Strategy

Overview

King Rastakhan calls upon his retinue of bodyguards to defend him and his throne room. After Rastakhan's bodyguards have been dispatched, Rastakhan calls upon his Loa, Bwonsamdi, to come and aid him. When Rastakhan reaches 60% health he demands that Bwonsamdi empowers him, causing Bwonsamdi to transfer a portion of his Death power into Rastakhan. After the transfer, Bwonsamdi shifts to the death realm, pulling the closest half of the party with him. Once Bwonsamdi is taken to 50% he abandons Rastakhan and teleports all players in the death realm to the realm of the living to finish the fight with Rastakhan.
