[X] My Assistant

Since I'm coming up on it pretty soon...
How do the Trio and the Tree bosses compare to other bosses/legendaries?

I don't know how you play so I really can't make an accurate comment. It's not different from Eve of Death.
Although to make sure you don't fail your first run, beat it on normal. I think I can pretty much melee it on heroic. I just don't wanna bother. (Eve of Death on heroic is easy.)

edit: and when I say melee, I mean a relict of the cold war: full silk fleet set.

So, each of the Trio individually are less of a threat than say Yuki?

I have no problem getting through 100 rounds, I just wanted to gauge how prepared I had to be for the special bosses. If it was 4x Yuki I'd have to prepare a bit.

No he meant: All 4 of them together aren't as much of a threat than let's say .. Ryouko.

Oh my, that sounds... much easier than I expected. This should be a cakewalk then. I can mow down Ryouko/Yuki without using items.

We are talking about normal now even FSM is easy on normal mode.

But tedious as fuck. I don't care how easy something is; if it takes like 500+ attacks to kill it's a pain in the ass.

@Marcho: On normal you can tier3 AOE blast them with whatever your best elemental spell is and kill them in a few hits, even with their resistances (don't forget that Yggdrasil can heal them). Soul becomes more useful at higher difficulties against them.

I'm looking to run through at the hard-heroic range. So hp wise they are similar to the standard bosses? or somewhere between boss and legendary?

A little more then bosses but far less then Legendarys.

Be wary though, the buffs they get when each one dies can be a major pain in the ass. One of the buffs will increase their attack power and let them physically crit you even if you have them weakened. They still won't be that hard, but if you don't pay attention they can shave through your HP in a heartbeat.

When do people usually beat Gods?
Is it possible to beat them at Lvl 115 with only infusion of gaia and scroll of the gods and avatar?
And how big is the difference bedween those three?
Do they all spawn allone?

Which is why you kill 3 of them on the same 1-2 turns. Always take out yggdrasil first since it can heal the others after that its just soul burst them evenly.

Trio clear, was nice and easy. Thanks for the info and advice.

1. When do people usually beat Gods?
2. Is it possible to beat them at Lvl 115 with only infusion of gaia and scroll of the gods and avatar?
3. And how big is the difference bedween those three?
4. Do they all spawn allone?

1 & 2. I killed all three before I got to level 115, using a pre-pre-nerf high bleed axe. Since you can now keep Infusion of Gaea going for several hundred rounds due to infusion slots auto-refilling, it's probably easier than it was when I did it.

3. Real Life is significantly easier than IPU, who's a bit easier than FSM. But you absolutely need Spark of Life going at all times, and bringing spirit restoratives is not a bad idea. Their spirit attack will always one-shot you if you don't have Spark up.

4. The gods all spawn alone.

Bloody hell, that was fucking annoying.

It spawned with around 410,000 hit points or something.

Items used:

2 average mana potions
3 greater mana potions
1 superior mana potion
1 godly mana potion
9 or 10 infusions of darkness

Didn't switch out my armor or weapons or anything. I suppose if I fight FSM that I should at least try to get some Dark mitigation gear, because those crits near the end were trying my patience.

Thx, tried FSM and had him nearly.
Unfortunately ran out of manapotions, should have taken elixiers instead of Godlys.
ended up dying too often because no possibly to heal anymore and in the end triggered spark o life until running out of spirit.
That sob had no visible healthbar left in the end and still he got me.

Have a bleed axe and a proc rapier

Next time I get him. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

You need a rapier with more turns of penetrated armor and preferably not 'of balance' unless your accuracy is REALLY bad.

'Dunno if its been changed or not but hasnt rapier since piercing proc have no effect at all on magic been useless for a while?

If it hasnt been changed a club is probably far better.

I guess I should have done this first?

347 1 You crit Real Life for 936 piercing damage.


Stuff used:
2 average mana potions
3 greater mana potions
2 superior mana potions
2 scrolls of gaia

I used the scrolls mostly because I got bored just whacking away with PA. The infusions only gave me a couple hundred more damage each hit, but it got the job done faster.

I guess if anyone is curious as to what I used, here's the equipment:

Main Hand: Exquisite Rapier of Balance
Off Hand: Superior Prism Wakizaki of the Nimble
Head: Fine Shade Helmet of the Arcanist
Body: Average Shade Breastplate of the Shadowdancer
Arms: Superior Ruby-Adorned Leather Gauntlets of Protection
Legs: Superior Silk Pants of Protection
Feet: Average Phase Shoes of Mjolnir

Hardly an optimized set up, but it worked well enough.

I guess I should have done this first?
347 2 Real Life has been defeated.
347 1 You crit Real Life for 936 piercing damage.

Yeah, Real Life is dramatically easier than IPU. And FSM is dramatically harder than IPU. Good luck with him!

I'll probably wait and get some actual dark mitigation gear for that fight. IPU was a little bit of a squeaker that I mostly tried because I wanted to see if I could and if the nerf/silence combo worked well.

I take it that FSM has more HP and also hits harder and is faster?
