Killing Death

[Joba]

Anybody been able to kill the last demon (Death) for the Playful Hauntings questline on nightmare? I have done everything else in the game already and my warrior and his team does not stand a chance, this guy regenerates permanently against anything I can throw at him, to the point where I almost believe his regeneration trait is buggy somehow.
Anybody got some tipps?

I've beaten it on nightmare with a Veil Ranger archer. In the beginning its regeneration is so high that it's almost impossible to deal damage to it but don't give up.

I'd advise on taking Davrin and Taash for this battle as they are the most aggressive when it comes to closing distance(after it starts super-balling around the arena) and dealing constant damage. Also, don't concentrate on detonations for this battle exclusively, but instead make sure your team is able to stack afflictions as much as possible to counter the regeneration. Damage dealing ones work best here as they are not dependant on the demon being hit (i.e. bleeding, burning, shock, chilled, necrosis). It's resistant to fire, but it still worked just fine for me.

it is still a long battle, but once you get it to a point where the inflicted afflictions counteract the regeneration, the health drops pretty fast.

Yes. Weird little floaty thing. DoTs (afflictions) stop the regen, even if there's no damage happening.

I used an ice mage shadow dragon, and nightmare difficulty obviously. Stayed at range to dodge more easily and to keep the damage on.

Like said by Omen and Zebedee, afflictions are a must have while playing Nightmare mode.
I used a Warrior Reaver (necrosis+bleed) with shield throw.
