to fight our other bosses for us due to the trash mobs we always run into on the way. In story mode, he’s not hard to kill as long as you can keep him alone. Back to the story! Lieutenant Kholer can be a bit tricky if you just run in and start the fight. He’s got a lot of help with him. We suggest you spread out and range this fight for the most part. Kholer has one nasty trick, when he lifts up his sword he is about to pull you in and hit you hard. There’s a simple defense to this move, DODGE. As soon as you get pulled in DODGE back and continue the fight. In story mode, you actually have enough time to hit him once, then dodge back. I suggest you don’t bother with that, dodge then hit him. to run past it again, or they might follow you to your next fight. Nente, The Ranger Nente stands on a big rock in the middle of the room. There is a narrow beam to walk across if you want to take your chances on a melee fight. Those with ranged weapons may choose to stand on the ledges all around and hit him from afar. Either way, this fight can be easy, or it can go horribly wrong. Boulders on the outer ledge will knock him or his pets down but do little damage. When we fight this guy, we put a couple of tanks on the rock with him and everyone else stands out on the ledges. We also used AOE to help wipe his adds during the fight. Now, get your chest and take a break. You deserve it. Good time for a photo op! At about 30%, Nente calls Shadow, his other wolf pet. Again, they teleport out to the ledge till the fight is over. Shadow can either be killed or controlled. We chose to fight both Shadow and Nente because DPS was really good. Choose your own way depending on the makeup of your party. Once Nente is done, Shadow won’t disappear right away and is easily killed by himself. Well done guys, you’re getting closer to the big fight. Get your chest and take another break. Again, it’s time for a photo op. The Bosses We suggest that before you get to each boss, you clear the area of trash mobs. Some areas the mobs come running as soon as you get close, in other areas the mobs hide as little blue globs till you get close. Either way, remember the kill order and “Take Out the Trash.” There is also the possibility of “bonus events” happening, such as the aforementioned Troll or perhaps a Graveling Burrow. We welcome these events and because of a personal dislike of Gravelings, take every opportunity to close the burrow and clean up the mobs. The choice is yours. Just remember, if you run past it, you might have Kasha Blackblood, the Necromancer When he gets down to around 70% he will summon Fang who teleports to the outer ledge. (Sometimes Nente joins him.) Fang likes to run around the outer ledge and can do a lot of damage if you ignore him. Take him out fast. If one of your party members is attacked, run to the rescue. Once Fang is down, Nente returns to the rock. Turn your attention back to Nente. A likeable girl before the Foefire turned her into a ghost. She trained Necromancers before the searing. Now, all she wants to do is drain the life from you and throw away your dried up corpse. But she’s not all that hard to beat. Her ADDS are the key, if you let them live they will heal her. So, AOE, AOE, AOE to your hearts content. Kill the ADDS quickly and keep on fighting her. If you hit her with enough DPS, the dance may not last long enough for many ADDS. But don’t get cocky, her ADDS are 51
