The boss encounter comes with several flower enemies. Upon entering combat your entire party are inflicted with infinite curse. The boss itself doesn't use any of her skills, it just moves and attacks you with her default attack. However, it should be noted, that bosses are much stronger, than regular enemies and can easily 2 tap your units. Her passives are a nasty combination of not being able to reach her and being constantly entangled and poisoned. Its recommended to have some form on non grass terrain creating skills, or stand on current non grass tiles. It is also highly recommended to raise her lust above 50%, to deal more and receive less damage. The general battle strategy is to wipe her flowers and then attack from a distance.

However what makes this boss strong, also creates a glaring weakness. The boss usually can't cover the entire map, while moving in to attack, so if you stay at the edge of the map, your only concern is the poison. This provides an opportunity to use map wide spells, like lightning storm, meteor storm and worlds end to deal damage, with no casualties. Furthermore, the tile that the boss ends its turn depends on where your units stand, in essence you can make her be in one spot by not moving yourself. This creates an exploit with lava tiles, it takes a while, but you can burn the boss easily.

Upon defeat the boss drops her species egg, a few decent magic staves, some wood and a consumable to boost defense. Your MC will also loose all its mana, so some form of restoration is recommended. Also it should be noted, that any boss fusion or offspring loose the giant trait, so if you wish to obtain a boss in all its glory you need to capture them.
