<i>Dreadhorn is the peerless boss for Twisted Weild</i>

'''Dread Horn''' is a corrupted [[unicorn]], the [[Peerless]] boss of the [[Twisted Weald]] [[dungeon]]. He is the easiest peerless for a [[Sampire]]. In a group any template would do as long as you have a tank and one player focuses on curing. Once you have some experience, you will find that getting the keys is more difficult than the fight itself. Occasionally, Dread Horn teleports people to himself and poisons them. A fast [[Arch Cure]] caster or a crate of [[potion|greater cure]] potions will come in handy, since Dread loves to poison everyone. [[Orange petal]]s do not work -- Dread's poison is too strong (level 6?). He also has a special ability which will reduce all your [[stats]] ([[strength]], [[dexterity]], [[intelligence]]) by 20, which can be difficult in combination with his magic attacks. This lasts 60 seconds. Having [[Resisting Spells]] is a boon in this instance.

Dread Horn
Dread Horn (EC)

Dread Horn is a corrupted unicorn, the Peerless boss of the Twisted Weald dungeon. He is the easiest peerless for a Sampire. In a group any template would do as long as you have a tank and one player focuses on curing. Once you have some experience, you will find that getting the keys is more difficult than the fight itself. Occasionally, Dread Horn teleports people to himself and poisons them. A fast Arch Cure caster or a crate of greater cure potions will come in handy, since Dread loves to poison everyone. Orange petals do not work -- Dread's poison is too strong (level 6?). He also has a special ability which will reduce all your stats (strength, dexterity, intelligence) by 20, which can be difficult in combination with his magic attacks. This lasts 60 seconds. Having Resisting Spells is a boon in this instance.

Dread Horn's lair is in the Twisted Weald dungeon, past the twisty quicksand maze near Swoop.

Strategies

For groups of mages, pumping out endless Earth Elementals is a simple but effective way to beat Dread Horn. He will dispel some, but the elementals deal/take OK damage because of the armor/damage types, and their aggressive AI will usually keep Dread Horn from targeting the mages. Two mages with lots of Mana Regeneration should be able to cast enough elementals to take him down. Tamers will want to take pets with excellent poison resistance and good physical resistance, so as to reduce the amount of pet healing required. The constant poisoning can make it difficult to heal pets before they die. The Cu Sidhe's ability to sometimes cure itself of poison can be helpful in this regard. Arctic Ogre Lords are also quite popular since they have 100% poison resist (this eliminates 60% of Dread Horn's melee damage).

Notes

His special ability that reduces your stats by 20 for 60 seconds does stack with curse, weaken, and feeblemind, which Dread Horn also sometimes uses. (Your stats will never be reduced below the minimum of 10 points, however.) Resisting Spells helps with the stat loss from curse but not with the special ability.
