In the Village of Summerwater, you will encounter the bossTibia Mariner. To get through this difficult encounter, you will need to know a few key strategies. The main method is to use yourhorseand attack only when mounted.
Doing so allows you to get in, get out, and avoid most of Tibia’sAOEattacks. We recommend using afast-hitting weaponor a heavy-damage weapon so that you can deal as much damage as possible every time you go in for a strike.

The boss will also occasionally spawnundead. To deal with the spawns, we recommend summoningspiritsto act as a distraction. This way, you will be able to focus all of your efforts on widdling the boss' health down.
Ignore the summons and keep attacking and running, and you will beat Tibia Mariner. Doing so rewards you with one Deathroot that you can then present to the NPCD.
D will then offer to mark a location on your map to meet another NPC. You can find D at theRoundtable Hold, which unlocks later in the game.
