Foothills Main Boss & Local Threat – Israel Hands

Like Thomas Richards, Israel Hands stands at the end of the Foothills biome mainline quest, Needle in a Haystack. Historically, Blackbeard’s ruthless second-in-command, Hands, is reimagined in Windrose as a vengeful, undead gatekeeper. Players should be wary of his slow, yet calculating attacks. Getting hit by any of Hands’s spectral arsenal punishes those greedy enough to avoid dodging, blocking, or parrying. Pace yourself, and only strike when the opportunity strikes. This battle may take several minutes to finish, but patience and the right build wins this match. Remember, survival should be your priority in this battle of attrition.
