Her embrace will give you a special consumable that can increase poise called the Baldachin s Blessing, at the cost of a debuff that slightly decreases your maximum HP. Just my POV about her She doesn t want to make TWLID exist in our world, she wants them to die or get born again but this is pretty much impossible as there s alot of them , evidenced by those lines I wished to be a mother to Those Who Live in Death.

Players should go to Summonwater Village and defeat the Tibia Mariner there, then return to D at the Roundtable Hold to continue his quest. He will give you directions to go to the Bestial Sanctum in Caelid. You can teleport straight there without having to explore by using the waygate in East Limgrave. [Map link]
Be wary of the enemies, as they are much stronger due to being in a higher level area.After the fourth Deathroot, he will become hostile towards you, you will have to bring his HP down until he stops attacking, then you can speak with him, reset the area, and use the fifth Deathroot for the Beast Claw Incantation. If you gave Gurranq the fifth Deathroot before he went aggressive, he will immediately give you the Beast Claw Incantation upon speaking to him after subduing him.
You can also choose to not talk to him after he stops attacking and kill him instead. This will make him drop the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone without completing his quest.
- A tip for those who are finding this difficult: if you can aggro and bait the Black Blade Kindred just outside to use its sword wave attack, it can deal enough damage to de-aggro Gurranq.
- You can also bait him at the entrance (he can hit you through the gates and walls), back away far enough and use Night Maiden's Mist (charged for extra radius) to slowly whittle down his HP. Do note that he will remain aggressive until you reset the area.
- If you have a summons that has rot or poison, such as a Rotten Stray Ashes or Spirit Jellyfish Ashes, you can poison the Gurranq and simply wait outside while the damage ticks. It will eventually reach the threshold to break the Beast Clergyman out of his rage and reset him back to normal. Teleport out and back to find him in his normal spot.
- Frost is another easy option. Two frost pots should proc it and immediately calm him down.

Absorptions
The absorption numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if an absorption is 60, 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% is absorbed. Bigger number = less damage. An absorption of 100 means no damage goes through, and a resistance of -100 means the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.
Resistances
The resistance numbers are the buildup amount to trigger it. For example, if a resistance is 100 you must deal 100 points of whatever aux buildup to trigger it. Note that these go down over time, and increase each time the effect procs.

- Long ago, Gurranq was a beast of such terrifying ferocity that his former name meant "Death of the Demigods."
- At night, Gurranq can be found to the right side of the sanctum, howling at the sky. Talking to him when he does this does not grant new dialogue.
- A total of nine Deathroot can be given to him to finish his questline.
- Once all nine Deathroot have been given to him, he will tell the player that, despite their hard work, his hunger is still not satiated and that he will go on hunt them down alone. He will then vanish, giving the player an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.
- Alternatively, once you have given him the eighth Deathroot, you can kill him instead for the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone, allowing you to skip the ninth Deathroot.

Reviews for "The Forbidden Rituals and Spells Connected to the Mirror of Boc"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed by the Cursed Mirror of Boc. The storyline seemed promising, but it quickly became repetitive and predictable. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth. The author's attempt at creating suspense fell flat, as I found myself getting bored halfway through the book. Overall, it did not live up to my expectations and I would not recommend it.
2. Mark - 1 star - The Cursed Mirror of Boc is a complete waste of time. The writing style is confusing and disjointed, making it difficult to follow the plot. The characters' actions and motivations are unrealistic and inconsistent. It feels like the author tried to include too many elements in one story without properly developing any of them. The book lacks depth and fails to engage the reader. I struggled to finish it and regretted wasting my time on it. Save yourself the trouble and skip this one.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Cursed Mirror of Boc, but unfortunately, it fell short. The pacing is extremely slow, and the story lacks excitement and suspense. The main character is unlikable and difficult to relate to, which made it hard for me to invest in the story. The dialogue is also weak and forced. While the concept of the cursed mirror is intriguing, the execution is underwhelming. I wouldn't recommend this book, as there are much better options out there in the same genre.
