Like the left lion's fire attack, this only hits those on its front side, and within a rather short distance (about where I'm standing is the furthest it goes, I think).
That would explain why I've never ever been hit by it, or noticed it anyway. I'm always on the other side. o_o

Hmmm....maybe it'd be possible to fight the left statues while standing on their RIGHT so that we don't get dispelled.

Standing to the right of the left knight will get you dispelled. Its range stretches a very short distance in both directions. Sorry, warriors, but you're out of luck on that one Toungue . I believe the reason I managed to avoid getting dispelled today was because I had switched to using magic claw on the left statues, rather than Ice Strike; Ice Strike doesn't have a very large lateral range.
Urgh, I hope this works.

Screenies of the room past the DS part:

GIR, are you sure that the right knight statue isn't doing seal instead of summoning gargoyles? Perhaps the range of Seal is limited also. Also, when Ergoth heals, does it heal as much as when the left lion statue does it? I wasn't paying too much attention, but I thought he was only healing 2k or so. Next week I'd like to find out exactly how much damage I take from the right lion statue's lightning attack.

Don't you have to kill golems and get a key before opening the top center door?

I added a drop list of everything that we've found so far, and the potions that I remember seeing. Let me know if I left out any scrolls from back when we didn't post our drops, and any potions that I missed. The TMS drop list may not be entirely accurate for us.

This is the right knight's seal animation. It's not a very good screenie, as I got it kind of late; earlier, it looks like a bunch opened locks.

Ergoth heals 20-22k damage, the left lion about 38-40k damage. Ergoth also casts something that causes him to regenerate just under 2k per several seconds.

You took a bit over 3.8k from the right lion. That's why I had you come to the left side of it for a bit. It does the same to you as the left lion does; I just take significantly less from the right because of my high magic defense, and my Partial Resistance, which decreases the damage I take from ice and lightning attacks.

EDIT: Spaz, the right knight statue's gargoyle summoning IS confirmed. I've observed it carefully over the past 4 GQs, and it definitely summons them, just as the left knight's dispel is definitely over a very small range.
Suggestions, corrections, and additions are welcome.

GIR - Many screenshots, especially of the boss, boss ability information, Mastermind strategy
Various members of TeamIDB - Screenshots
I've added the screenshots. There's a limit of 30 images per post, so I had to split it into 2 posts. I'm thinking about posting this on Sleepywood soon, any more suggestions?
If you want to know exactly what each statue does:

Click on Detailed, and it'll tell you more about each statue
That doesn't have all the info though. For example, nowhere is the left lion statue's fire attack mentioned. It does, however, confirm a few things we already knew.

That has less information on them than I have figured out on my own.
