Combat
Although Gandalf has, he is immune to any damage dealt by weapons in survival mode. If attacked, he will fight back using Glamdring, as well as his staff, making him the only NPC that dual wields. However, he only hits with his sword, which deals per hit, making him one of the strongest NPC's in the game.
