Reach Channeler

Reach Channelers are Reachman spirits located within Hunter's Grotto in Vateshran Hollows. They translate Rahdgarak's body language and vocalizations during the battle. There are four Reach Channelers, and they are each sitting on the corner of a platform in the boss's arena. Female Channelers are located on the red platforms, and male channelers are located on the blue platforms. They cannot be killed. When the boss reaches 65% health, they stand up and perform their own mechanic.

Once Rahdgarak reaches 65% health, the Reach Channelers will stand up and begin performing a ritual. They start sending flames towards the platform they're facing (the flames from each channeler are sent diagonally, so the ones on blue platforms will send flaming AoEs to each other's platforms and vice versa). After 50 seconds of successful channeling, the mages will erect wards around themselves and set the platform across from them ablaze. Standing in this raging fire does immense damage to you. Make sure you grapple to a platform that isn't on fire.
If left to channel their spells, the spirits will set the entire arena ablaze. You simply need to interrupt the Reach Channelers. The Channelers will cast their spell for 50 seconds. This gives you enough time to grapple to each platform and interrupt each Channeler. After they're all interrupted, simply keep damaging the boss. Rinse and repeat every time they stand up and begin firing flames across the room from the tips of their staves. If you have the Empowered Grapple buff, simply grappling to the mages will interrupt them, allowing you to conserve stamina or magicka by not having to interrupt them with an ability or by bashing.

Dialogue[edit]

They will occasionally translate the boss's vocalizations. These include general minotaur trash-talk.

Reach Channeler: "I think he just mocked your heritage."
Reach Channeler: "He may have suggested jumping to your death would hurt less."
Reach Channeler: "I feel that he admires your vigor, but warns you will fail."
Reach Channeler: "I believe he just compared you to a rodent."

If you try to attack the boss while he is invulnerable, their dialogue suggests that you move to a different platform so you can damage him.

Reach Channeler: "He stands defiant against your strikes."
Reach Channeler: "He may have insulted your combat prowess."
Reach Channeler: "It seems he mocks your feeble blows."

When the boss jumps to another platform:

Reach Channeler: "He bids you to follow, if you possess the skill."

When the boss's health reaches 65%, the channelers stand up.

Reach Channeler: "Ah! Your real challenge starts now!"

When the boss dies, the channelers disappear.

Reach Channeler: "I gather he wished you well on your test, and that your death be swift."
