Tips for fighting the Temple of Darkness 3F boss

[Dootmaster64]

Being vague as not to spoil anything so:

I get the boss to 34k health and then they hit me with mana freeze. I try to stun it but she just spams it till it lands. On top of that, they banish summons and dispel spam as well. I thought it a fun hurdle when fighting other boss' that silenced but unfortunately this goes past focusing on melee to survive the cool downs.

I haven't discovered any potions or accessorizes to help block some of these hurdles. I'm almost lvl 38 across all skills. If i can find a way to trigger a certain event for this run I might retire and try again. I like the ramp on how powerful you get as you unlock the story elements xD!

I'm in the same boat. With very careful apprentice management and self dispels, I can get down to the last ~25% (pausing apprentices to dispel mana freezes, etc). But then the final silence cast just ends me every time. Even in the best equipment I can make, she destroys me in seconds once the spells fall off or are dispelled again. I've given up for now and am just trying to hit other objectives for a while, hoping something will significantly increase my power to try again later, but I don't even know what to look for. Nothing seems to come even close.

if you keep exploring the temple of darkness you will unlock a few features that are instrumental in defeating that boss. inside spoiler are more info if you want it.

One of the key features you unlock in the tempe of darkness is an encounter with the Grim Reaper, which will want a metric ton of monstrium from you, upon giving it all you can unlock one of 2 options.

One is more storage space the other is the Strengthening feature, wherein you can spend ever increasing amounts of monstium to enhance your stats. Increasing that can allow you to increase your attackspeed to ludicrous levels.

Combine that with a thunder whip, a stun belt (it unlocks at high conjuration and enchantment) and the Dark Squire summon (You unlock summoning in the tower of Lightning) and you can stunlock the boss into oblivion.

WICKED STRAT! Thanks @Serpentarius!

My first victory I used the nature element and stacked damage over time effects, and used a bunch of potions. I don't have any strategies for particularly low spell schools though (besides the aforementioned stun strategy).

Is this one of those random events that happen every so many minutes that you can see via Foresight?

Yes. Bend the Odds improves the chances of it occuring if used while in the ToD.

The Grim Reaper requires you to be on floor 2 or higher in the temple.

Yeah, I was there, just wasn't popping. Got it towards the end of my last run, and then almost immediately in my current run through.

Crystal Knuckle+Bone Armor+Necklace of Death Protection +Max Attack Delay Strengthening. You just switch to this setup once the brat hits you with silence.
