Malachai.... for a first timer.

[Diemex]

Well getting here was not that tough.

But It seems I am at a stalemate or I am missing some secret mechanic. I was fighting malachai and peity turned on me... so i fought both... but then peity just froze and is now invincable.. takes no damage and is stuck at like 50% hp. Malachai is stuck at about 80ish % hp and is no longer taking damage.

I can run around and stuff... I keep my ancestor totem on him... I can stand in his face and bash non stop.... he can't kill me... but after 30 minutes and seeing zero progress... I assumed its bugged or I'm missing something so I cast a portal and bailed to town.

Am I missing something ?

You're supposed to "kill" Piety when she gets turned. I don't believe that it's possible to damage Malachai when you're supposed to be fighting Piety.

If you really can't damage Piety at all, then something is wrong, and ... I'm afraid you'll probably have to do the fight over. Try reloading the game.

During the second phase of the fight (which you haven't seen yet) you'll have to kill the hearts, they restore Malachai's health.

Honestly ... I die a lot during that fight. I usually play Rangers, and the fighting area is just too small for me to make use of my ability to move to control the fight.

I have a marauder, level 43. 1158hp all my resists are capped @75% and my phsy resist is 72%.

My dps on the char screen is 280. I was doing ok staying alive... i just ran around.. using a stone golem and an ancestor totem. I have a rally cry thing that gives me regen and endurance charges.

But Ya... I think Piety must have bugged on me. I got her to 50% hp and she stopped taking dmg. If I stopped hitting her... her energy shield would recharge.. I could smack that down and still no hp dmg. Also she wasnt attacking me... from what I've seen on youtube she should be.

I'll wait a bit then try again

Hm.. there are some structured stops during the fight.

What's supposed to happen is that the two of you attack Malachai, do some damage, and then he turns Piety. You knock her shield down, then the two of your are supposed to attack Malachai again. That phase cycle repeats, and then Malachai is supposed to kill Piety and retreat blow (where you do phase two of the fight).

At least that's my recollection, it's honestly not a fight I anymore than I have to, as I don't really enjoy the cramped quarters.

[Diemex]

Yup. Just killed him. Only took like 5 mins. The first time was bugged for sure.

And I thought Malachai was a pretty straight forward boss.
