See the Gar'Colossus Quest page for details about his role in the campaign quest.

Gar'Colossus is the first Boss to be fought while playing the Light Campaign and can also be fought in Free Play mode without any need to do quests. He is located near Orcish Byway in Artamark. Since he is the first Boss he is quite easy to defeat. A notable disadvantage of Gar'Colossus' is that he moves very slowly making it easy for a player to maintain a safe distance away from him. At a distance a player need only be watchful of Gar'Colossus' ranged attacks Earthquake, Stone Throw and Rock Rockets which can be read about below. When fighting melee style the player should be aware that Gar'Colossus' Rage buff will increase his attack speed substantially. Gar'Colossus is a T-Energy type enemy though his damage is primarily physical.jpg Physical. Of the 3 damage types that would be most effective against Gar'Colossus, fire ice and poison, ice.jpg Ice damage may be the best option for a melee build so as to benefit from from its Secondary Effect Freeze which will slow him down.

Watch out for those T-Energy pools nearby! They will heal Gar'Colossus if he steps in them.
