'''Dryads''' are aggressive tree spirits which seek to tear apart any who desecrate the woods they live in. Although almost harmless physically, they can awaken the [[tree]]s of the forest to batter you, and the vines they generate will drag you into the woods if you try to escape.

*Much like the walls of the [[Slime Pits]], trees affected by Awaken Forest can deal a surprising amount of damage if you don't try to avoid them. As there's no way to resist this damage, your best bet is to fight a dryad in the middle of a large clearing. If no such clearing is readily available, feel free to [[Bolt of Fire|make]] [[Lightning Bolt|one]].

*A dryad's vines will all die the moment you kill the dryad itself. Since she also summons them very rapidly, it's better to focus on killing the dryad than on clearing the vines. Don't simply [[Tab]] your way through combat, as you'll often wind up ignoring the dryad to kill the vines instead.

Useful Info

Dryads are aggressive tree spirits which seek to tear apart any who desecrate the woods they live in. Although almost harmless physically, they can awaken the trees of the forest and create constricting vines. The trees immediately calm down when the dryad dies.

They do not generate naturally; if you find one it is most likely a shapeshifter. However, you can summon one with Summon Forest.

Spells

Tips & Tricks

  • Dryads are strong. Aggressive trees can deal a surprising amount of damage, and the vines can constrict monsters for even more.
  • Only one Awaken Forest effect can be active at a time. If your dryad is active, it'll prevent any spriggan druids from using this spell.
  • You can tell your dryad to retreat, so that it doesn't die. Otherwise, it will charge in as if it was a melee summon.
