What is the mechanism of Drume boss and falcon bosses during the spawn?

Question

Today I noticed something strange during the fight with Drume boss. A mini-boss monk from falcons appeared to me. it's strange because always appeared falcon. what does it depend on? If we kill this boss, do we also have a chance to drop falcon items?

Answer 1

Drume often summons one of mini bosses from Falcon Bastion (it is random, which boss appears):

• Grand Canon Dominius
• Grand Chaplain Gaunder
• Grand Commander Soeren
• Preceptor Lazare

It works like a typical summon - suddenly appear next to the Drume, deals damage, but as soon as you kill Drume, summon will disappear without leaving any loot or corpse.

I noticed that summons don't appear every time. It probably depends on time we spend on killing the main boss. If we kill Drume quickly, maybe he won't be able to summon his Falcon helper.

EDIT: Summons don't appear when they don't have a way to attack player who is targeted by Drume. It is easily noticable if you kill it as ED + EK. Knight is luring Drume to the place where there are max 2 SQM around him, on one is standing Drume, next to the boss usually appear some guy from the lion fraction. Summon has no more place to attack knight so it won't appear. That's why I can see summons only in 20% of my fights with Drume.

nobody from my friends never saw preceptor earlier. I always have Grand Canion. It's really interesing.  It's hard to find corpse, since he is left room with full life at the end. Maybe I should try kill him first than Drume. I'll try next time.

Answer 2

According to what I saw at videos of Test Server, the mini boss falcon summoned by Drume don't receive any damage

yes, he have always full hp. maybe I should try to kill next time if it's possible :D
