At the 75%, 50% and 25% hp thresholds, Amanamu will retreat and open an entrance into a sub-zone containing a Stygian Spire. A timer of 90 seconds, only active while in this sub-zone will begin to count down. If all three encounters are not completed within the allotted total 90 seconds, Amanamu will escape.
