The Hollow Shepherd

The Hollow Shepherd is a level 188 creature found in Cinderfall. It is a boss, and always hostile. It fights hand to hand, so spells have the edge on it and a bow is at a disadvantage.

It keeps the Shepherd's Fold in the far south of the Fabled Depths, a ring of skulls on stakes at the end of the stake road from Cinderfall. Two hollow gaunts of its flock keep it with it.

Fighting it

The oldest of the gaunts, a head taller than any of them, with a thorn crown and a crook with a bell on it. It rakes hard in melee and its flock joins the fight. You hear the bell before you see the Fold.

Preparation: The best armour you own and a full load of strong food. Draw the two gaunts off first, and keep clear of the maws on the walk down.
