Death

[rammenstein]

Does anyone have any tips for beating death? I’ve gotten close a couple times, but then he just crits me four times in a row and I die.

use Flawless Appearance from the Illusion School, it prevents crits for 30 seconds, if you have leftover apprentices just put 2 on it and be immune to crits.

Are you sure it was crits that killed you? I myself never noticed enemy crits and so never had any trouble with them. If you are actually sure it was them then ignore the rest of the post.

Death has a special spell, it keeps casting Doom on you when you don't have it. Doom is a debuff with 1 minute countdown timer which kills you when it expires (it doesn't matter how much HP or Defense you have). You need to cast Dispel Self spell to remove it in which case Death will recast it with next attack but timer starts from 1 minute again.

So beat death, but the Dark Overlord on floor 2 is another matter entirely. He has an absurdly powerful silence, and has access to Extinguish life, which, if it hits... jsut kill you straight up. I can survive until the silence hits, but 1 minute us outside the duration of all my stuff,, sooo... yeah nothing doin.

Return to him two-three retirements later with more stuff unlocked and higher mana regen and he will be easier too. There are some nice buffs which you can get in tower before him. Just focus on doing mastery stories and push your max MPL a little more.

I got to him in one run. Tried the battle twice, then returned after mastering two more schools and getting another 500 mana regen. He is the first boss I had to use Time dilation on to stop him with stuns on time. And Dazzle spell with -48% accuracy for 9 seconds (or something close) also helped.

I have a build I have been using with 100% evasion thanks to illusion mastery. turn out that boss uses hawk eye to coutner it though. and again the silence is my issue, not hte mana, had some 3k mana regen when i ran into him, jsut lacked the damage, might not be an issue this time though since i ahve mastered evocation now.
