Notes

Spawn Conditions	Companions/Summons
Spawned by trading a Trophy Shield to the ??? at C-4 at the north end of the valley populated by Bathyal Gigas, around the corner and out of sight of the mobs. ??? respawn is 1 minute.	N/A
Special Abilities	Passive Traits
Impact Roar: Cone Attack Physical Damage. Grand Slam: 15' AoE Physical Damage.	Possibly immune to Gravity. Susceptible to Blind, Paralyze, Slow.
Physical Qualities	Magical Qualities
Increased Double Attack rate and "Enspell" effect following use of Impact Roar. Effects are removed following Grand Slam.	Resistant to Lightning magic. Resistant to Darkness magic. (Repeatedly resisted darkness skillchains).
Further Notes
Always uses a pattern of moves beginning with Impact Roar, eventually followed by successive uses of Grand Slam. Following Impact Roar, Adamastor gains an undispellable Enspell effect as well as a sharp increase to Double Attack rate. These effects persist until Adamastor uses a series of Grand Slams, after which his attacks return to normal and the cycle repeats. (see testimonials)

Historical background

Adamastor is the name of a giant in the Portuguese epic Os Lusíadas, meant to represent the hardships inflicted by nature and geography that sea ship crews face during difficult trips.

-===Notes:===
+Adamastor is the name of a giant in the Portuguese epic Os Lusíadas, meant to represent the hardships inflicted by nature and geography that sea ship crews face during difficult trips.
-:*Spawned by trading a [[Trophy Shield]] to the ??? at D-4 at the north end of the valley populated by [[Bathyal Gigas]], around the corner and out of sight of the mobs.
-:*He can spawn in 2 versions, NQ and HQ just like T3 VNM!{{Verification}}
-:*NQ has no shadow, no enspell effect and low [[Double Attack Rate]]. Possibly a very low drop rate of the Key item but does have regular drops.{{Verification}}
-:*HQ has a shadow, enspell and very high [[Double Attack Rate]]. Possibly higher drop rate of the Key Item.{{Verification}}
-:*If you wipe he moves back to his spawn and begins to regen.  Got it down to 50% before wiping and it regened to 70% then despawned.  The ??? despawns after he is gone and doesn't come back until 5 minutes (roughly) later.
-:*Used Standard Gigas moves, Also had an Auto EnSpell effect. He strongly favors Grand Slam using it 3 times in rapid succession around 30%.
-:*The aforementioned effect could possibly be triggered by 2hr, our group did not notice any added damage until the NM was at 50% or lower.
-:*[[Head Butt]] has low rate of landing, [[Temporal Shift]] landed 100% [[Frypan]] and [[Tail Slap]] were ineffective.
-:*Has a high (90%) [[Double Attack]] rate.
-:*Appears to be highly resistant to elemental magic - MB'd [[Thunder IV]]s of less than 200 have been reported.  Magical [[Stun]] seems to be easily resisted as well.  Could have naturally high Lightning resistance.
-:*Possibly immune to [[Slow]] and [[Gravity]] - [[Slow II]] from multiple RDM missed every time.  No apparent resistance to [[Blind]] or [[Paralyze]], though paralyze proc rate is suspect.
-:*[[Grand Slam]] powerful enough to potentially one-shot any mages caught in the blast.
