Amanitar is an optional boss in Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom that only shows up in heroic mode. The boss is located in the bog area to the left of the large mobbed area prior to the third boss, down the stairs. It is the same location that the Funky Fungi quest is completed in.
Abilities
- Mini - Almost always cast on the tank, sometimes on other party members as well. This debuff reduces damage done by 75% and reduces defence by 500, causing chains of crits on the tank. It cannot be removed with any decurse, but can be removed with Divine Shield. If a paladin tank is in use, divine shielding and then clicking off the shield is advised to remove the debuff. Alternatively, a paladin tank can maneuver to a position beside a healthy mushroom, killing it as Hammer of the Righteous is used within his/her regular rotation.
- Poisonous Mushroom - These have a green aura and are named "Poisonous Mushroom."
- Healthy Mushroom - If you kill a healthy mushroom without the debuff "Mini" you and anyone around the healthy mushroom gets increased damage by 100%. These have no aura and are named "Healthy Mushroom."
Strategies
Upon pulling this boss, a large amount of mushrooms will immediately spawn all over the bog area. Some are healthy, some are poisonous. The poisonous mushrooms are denoted with a green aura, which does nature damage to anyone in their vicinity. Each mushroom only has 150 health, and are easily killed. AOE the tanking area to clear it from Poisonous Mushrooms that continuously spawn in. At the same time, try not to kill the Healthy mushrooms while you are AOE-ing the tanking area whenever possible. If you get the "mini" debuff from Amanitar, kill a Healthy mushroom to go back to normal. If possible, try to stand near a Healthy mushroom.
Killing a healthy mushroom when you are shrunk and close to it removes the debuff and appears to be the key to the encounter. Healing through crit chains is very difficult depending on your tank type - dodge-based druids fare better than defense-based prot warriors.
