Ylmer's awakening

Ylmer's awakening

Open on wiki ↗
event  Old Tree ·  Events (all zones)
The obelisk is in sight, but something very dangerous is blocking the way. Ylmer, an old treant once known as the protector of the Senenthia forest, has awakened and been tainted by the energy emanating from the now active obelisk. Besides Ylmer, there is a trunky and a dryad protecting him. You don't see any way to avoid the confrontation, but maybe you can make the fight easier or worse depending on how you approach him. This challenge will be difficult, so what will you do?
