Uber Hillock
Is there any way to see him more than once on an account? Or can you only fight him once ever without making an alt account or something? I know he only spawns under certain circumstances, but I've noticed that having other characters fulfill those conditions doesn't seem to cause him to spawn. Is there an RNG factor or is it just that you only get one shot?

"Über"-Hillock is what can drop https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Oni-Goroshi - some people claim you need to be level 7 to be able to encounter him. See also https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/7leecw/in_the_last_two_days_there_has_been_424081/

edit:
Apparently, level 7 only increases the chance, see the sponsor of the items post at https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/7llkot/psa_onigoroshi_talks/drny9xq/

Having done it once, I can say the very first time I met Hillock after reaching level 7 I faught the alternate version. I was just wondering if I could face him again. For reasons. None of them involving stupidity and/or misclicks.

there is map version of Hillock. I just grinded Hillock in staring area once for the achievement, end up getting Ezomyte Peak. It must be crazy to grind Oni-Goroshi . They are expensive only due to 6-link in poe.trade. If you have it dropped yourself, it just too expensive to craft socket and 6-link

It ALWAYS drops as a 6-Link like Tabula Rasa.

Is oni goroshi better than the goddess unleashed? I'm actually crafting the goddess, because it's way faster than grinding the cards if you already dropped the goddess bound.
Rhinkalis Dec 22, 2017 @ 3:32am 
Well, Oni Goroshi is, arguably, better than Unleashed, in that its buff-debuff is... More interesting to manage? Also it level scales which makes it nice to run the game with... And since you can't make the 3rd form of the Goddess anymore since that recipe was disabled.
Master Bernd Dec 22, 2017 @ 3:45am 
You can't craft the Goddes Unleash anymore, it is Legacy, which means it is not aviable anymore. And it is a lot better than the old 3 Swords.

Just grinded myself the Oni-Goroshi. Was very much worth it. :)

Okay. My question is, if it supposedly shows up when you're level 7. How do you exactly go through the starting area multiple times to get that sword to spawn?
THat's one heck of a weird item spawning mechanic.

Make at least 4 characters and switch to them in order every time you've killed Hillock. You'll start over at the start of the Twilight Strand.

Ah. Okay. I see.

You don't have to do that, although it's probably recommended to do that if you want to get the sword faster.

But you can do it with one character only as well, you just have to go to character screen and wait one minute for the instance to reset(it doesn't take 8 to 15 minutes to reset like other instances).

Can’t you reset the normal way with ctrl+click?
