My awesome journey into Depraved Sanctuary

[Legend Z]

Today finaly I find my way to this horrible place Depraved Sanctuary and here eventually I find my death from very dangerous and evil BOSS Salazar, Blade of Ch'thon, somehow this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ closed door behind me and than he cursed me with curse of frality, cast some AOE around me, summon few friends for sure I will have no chance in this battle against him I even cant kite him like other mini bosses that was big surprise I just wonder how did he close this door is it his special skill for Veteran level difficulty. So now I'm here to warn you any of you who dare and brave enough do not enter Depraved Sanctuary until you are level 25 at least and your chaos resistance is 50+. I hope this story will help alot ! :) GL HF

Every boss does that. And it's vitality dmg, not chaos.

Well he is pretty strong, but it's also pointless to run a hardcore character without knowing every dangerous place there is -_-

Hardcore is for experienced players who know what to expect and what works and what doesn't, not for newbs on their first playthrough.

While I personally agree with that statement, others enjoy the thrill of suddenly being in way over their heads.
If they have the time and patience to create a new character every time this happens, let them. :)

@Popeye:
Yes, Depraved Sanctuary is a rough place, especially the first time you visit and dont know what to expect. And it is not the only place like that in Cairn...

If you use a occultist again its worth coffing the whole the area yourself he doesnt resist against it or is immune i can clear it in under 5 minutes without perfect gear depending on other champs there .Two pets are worth using (crows lightning strike to max /bonds maxed) set both aggresive have a few levels in the birds healing it mostly heals the hellhound if it is below 50% .Keep topped up yourself so it doesnt need to heal you if you drop below 50% yourself.

Glad to hear you are having a great time with it. I'm trying to so hard to wait till final release. Hard to be honest. Game is good now and will become a classic for many years.

Depraved Sanctuary is a challenge area, playing a Hardcore Veteran character in there at level 16 is suicide IMO. I did beat Salazar once with a level 16 character on Veteran, without dying. But Hardcore changes how you play in Grim Dawn if you want to survive, big risk takers have short lives. Usually I'm around level 20+ with most characters before doing the Depraved Sanctuary, now that I've learned the game better he rarely ever kills me, he used to get me some though. One night I was tossing a few back with the wife and we did the Depraved Sanctuary coop, I racked up 18 deaths. Don't drink and Deprave!

Lord Scryed shall be forever remembered. :)

There's really no reason not to play Grim Dawn now, as it:
- doesn't end in any major cliffhanger
- isn't buggy
- feels complete
- gets released this year
- is hard to get bored with
- has lots of replay value
