Welcome to my in-depth guide to the Normal Bosses in AL. This guide is a work-in-progress and i am doing one campaign at a time. These bosses were tested with both a low-level character (at recommended level) and a nearly end-game character (max-scale). If you see any errors in my testing, let me know.

Ghul Bellybottom

Attacks:
- Jump Attack: Jumps and slams its sword to the ground. This is the boss's default attack.
--- Threat Level: Low
- Charged Slash: Winds up its sword and slashes the player. This is a special attack of the boss.
--- Threat Level: Moderately Low
Strategy: The battle will begin with the boss shielded for 20 seconds. During this time, he will have a bright aura around him and will be nearly invincible. Avoid him until his shield goes down bringing him far away from the portal on the edge of the room, then attack the boss with a variation of your available skills and normal attacks. He will make his way back to the portal to reactivate his shield. Use time shift or entangled trap to slow him down. After his second reactivation (when his shield goes up the 3rd time), Stabb will appear to aide him. After his fourth reactivation (5th shield), Krax Wildstorm will appear as well. After his sixth reactivation (7th shield), Thunk One-Eye will appear. Defeating Ghul before all three of them show up will give you the Speed-Slayer acheivement. If you defeat ghul with one of these three enemies still fighting, they will retreat.
