Clay Dunestrider

The Clay Dunestrider is a boss in Risk of Rain 2.

Behavior
The Clay Dunestrider is one of the boss monsters. It typically spawns on  "Abandoned Aqueduct" and "Wisp Installation".

The Clay Dunestrider possesses a number of attacks, including a ranged bomb and a health-recovering mode.

The ranged attack consists of the Clay Dunestrider throwing a series of black bombs at the player.

When the Clay Dunestrider is low on health, it will flip over, and then it will begin snaring nearby enemies and players, pulling them towards its body. At this time, the Clay Dunestrider is resistant to damage, and it recovers health based on how many targets it has snared. It may be prudent to manage the number of surrounding enemies to reduce the amount of health the Clay Dunestrider can recover.

If you are snared you will be pulled towards the Clay Dunestrider, but it is possible to move away from it, and after getting far enough away, the snare will be severed and you can move freely. A fast character or one that can teleport will find getting away easier.

Like other boss monsters, the Clay Dunestrider can be found spawning in pairs or more as part of the teleporter event later in the game, and it can also be seen spawning naturally.
