Gorechimera is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma

Similar to a regular Chimera, a Gorechimera is a stronger version found throughout Gransys.

Unlike a Chimera it has much more health and the ability to heal itself, making it more difficult to slay. The goat head can cast Anodyne spells to restore its overall health, and the snake tail when severed eventually regenerates similar to a head of a Hydra. Its color scheme also cosmetically differs from a regular Chimera in that its lion head is black, its goat head is grey-white, and its snake tail is a dark reddish color.

But like a regular Chimera, a Gorechimera's goat head is vulnerable to physical attacks, and the lion head is vulnerable to magic. Severing the snake tail will usually cause a Gorechimera to collapse, though the tail will regrow after some time.

Item Drops
Wakestones and or Wakestone Shards may be dropped by Gorechimera in the Everfall - the number or chances of receiving wakestones is increased by the possession of Dragon's Tears.

Tactics

 * See also Chimera § Tactics.

The behaviour and abilities of the Gorechimera is much the same as the commoner Chimera, however the Gorechimera is much stronger. When fighting a Gorechimera very similar tactics should be used as with a normal Chimera with a few exceptions:


 * Killing the goat should be a priority as its healing spells can constantly revive the other heads - alternatives are interrupting its spells or silencing.


 * Unlike a normal chimera the Gorechimera can be Poisoned.


 * The miasma like poison attack of the chimera is replaced with a much more potent acid pool that caused significantly more damage, and can cause burning.


 * The chimera's weakness to fire is replaced by a strong resistance, but the creature suffers a converse weakness to ice:
 * Utilize ice based weapons, spells and enchantments to leverage the Gorechimera's weakness - specifically High Gicel (Sorceror) or a pre-emptive Sixfold Bolt (Magick Archer) are capable of killing outright or nearly killing the beast.

Pawn Bestiary Knowledge


For full information, refer to the Pawn Bestiary Knowledge page or the according section on the Chimera page. Enemy Specific :
 * Weak to Ice
 * Weak to Holy
 * Cutting off the Snake tail then using a Fire based attack to sear the stump and delay its regrowth grants knowledge. (Similar with the hydra heads)
 * Witnessing the Gorechimera use Anodyne to heal itself may grant knowledge.

In addition to witnessing these techniques, it may be necessary for Pawns to participate in killing 30 Gorechimeras either with their own Arisen or while travelling with others.
