Lore
Lodged in the hollows of a now decrepit world tree, Il’gynoth is a manifestation of the horrors that lie at the heart of the Nightmare. It is a mass of corruption - a thing that should not be. It’s tendrils seep through the ground, emerging in countless horrifying eyestalks and limbs.
Quick Tips
Players begin the encounter fighting against Il'gynoth's eyestalks and tentacles, while the monstrous Eye blocks the entrance to the heart of the tree.
Defeating these tentacles spawns animated Nightmare Ichor globules, which players can destroy near the Eye to damage it.
Once the Eye is defeated, players can enter (for a time) the tree to damage Il'gynoth directl. After some time the Eye reforms and will seal again the entrance to the tree, killing any players who remain inside.
This repeats until players defeat Il'gynoth.
