I need help with the elder boss

while i was fighting the elder boss for some reason a large group of greydwarfs decided to show up there were a couple of brutes a bunch of normal greydwarfs but mostly sharmans and now said sharmans just decided to sit at the elders feet follow him around and constantly heal him meaning any damage i do to him pretty much gets healed instantly and while that is happening i'm being chased by a dozen normal greydwarfs and some brutes is the elder suppose to summon greydwarfs to their aid or has something weird just happened? and does anyone have any ideas on how i should deal with this because im thinking of just going to another summoning alter and trying to fight him again. (also the greydwarfs have pretty much taken over the island i was originally fighting the boss on)

Sounds like a fun challenge you had there. I havent killed the Elder since the patch but about to and will see what happens. One thing that helps if you look around before summoning him, making sure there are no grey dwarf nests nearby. Also make sure you start the fight in the morning as at night alot of random enemies spawn in the black forest. Other than that i have no clue why you had an army spawn, hopefully i will find out soon. If i find ANYTHING UNUSUAL i'll report back.

So leave the area...either lead the greys away and pick them off or let them despawn.
The Elder won't despawn and you can go back to it after the greys are taken care of but I'd look around for a spawner first (purple glowing) as that could be the source of the greys.

Try build an elevated platform either on the side of the pillars or a tree and you should be good to pick everything off with a bow. Elder bugs out a but when your elevated from ground so he won't do his ranged attack

Make sure to sleep right before the fight, at night time the dwarves will spawn a lot more

I just had my fight with the Elder and no adds were spawned. I guess you didnt clear out the surrounding area before starting the fight. I think he calls for aid to nearby mobs at some point in the fight. GL
