Encounter details[edit | edit source]

Filro will use the the height advantage he has among the cliffs and roots to throw down debilitating spells onto intruders for the monstrosities to pick off. He favors casting Tasha's Hideous Laughter Tasha's Hideous Laughter to make his enemies fall Prone Prone, leaving them open for a Hook Horror's deadly Multiattack (Hook Horror) Multiattack (Hook Horror). Grouping up near him on the high ground can also lead to a lethal outcome if he uses his Thunderwave Thunderwave to shove party members off the cliff.

If the Bulette Bulette is still alive when the party begins the fight with Filro and the Hook Horrors, then it has a chance of burrowing out of the ground to join the combat. Its Territorial Territorial passive leads to it attacking the Hook Horrors before going after the party.

Tactics[edit | edit source]

Filro has low Wisdom and Charisma, making him weak to spells with such Saving Throws. A well aimed Shove Shove can also instantly kill him via fall damage or by knocking him into a chasm, though in the latter case the Icy Crystal he carries would be lost.

The party can also consider not fighting the Bulette until it makes its appearance during this fight. The Bulette and Hook Horrors will deal good damage to each other, potentially weakening all of them enough for the party to kill them.

Also, if Sovereign Glut is an Attached Follower, he can use his Animating Spores ability to revive a Hook Horror as a "Spore Servant", letting you use their powerful natural abilities against the other Horrors and the insane wizard.
