Necromancer Fight & Deathbound Guadian Fights

[Sonmi]

I'm trying to go for a mage build but I'm having some difficulties. The necromancer that we have to face for the quest has so many summons and they clap me. The Deathbound guardian that is summoned by the blood lake sigil 1-hits me.

Current level is 6
Spells: Burning Ember, Summon Winged Servant, Wolf's Call
Gear: Necromancer Mask and Chest. The rest is random stuff I found.

Anyone willing to help with a mage build? Burning Ember kinds sucks.

Level up. He's not really intended for level 6.

I killed the summons with a bow and my crap sword then ran up to him and beat him over the head and took his stuff. I wasn't that high of level, probably around 6 as well. Playing a mage too. You don't have enough MP early on to make your spell casting a crutch. You will be using the old sword and bow for a while.

I didn't have to fight the necromancer, his back was to me when I entered so I took that as an invitation to stick something in it. . .As to the Deathbound Guardians, I was the same level as you and had the same issue. However I was doing a melee build and I am not sure which of us had it worse.

I killed them in what is possibly the most shameful way possible.

Tha chamber you are in is sealed with a magic shield. Once you are outside of it they can't pursue you, but your weapons cannot pass through it and they heal back to full health as soon as combat ends. . .So your only real option is to kill them one at a time and as soon as one drops you have to boogie back out beyond the magic curtain before either of them can hit you -because if you are anything like me they pretty much kill you in one or two hits. And that is the trick. Kill something then run away and heal yourself, then go back in and do it again. I don't know if they respawn if you leave the area with the fight half done, so either bring some potions or a lot of patients, but I do know so long as you are that cave they won't respawn.

Thats exactly what I had to do in my magic build even though I was probably 3 times the level of my first build as a ranger. Could 1 or 2 shot them all with a bow but magic is definitely weak in comparison. Do what you gotta do!
