The Unstable Flesh, what is your favorite way to kill it?
I took a bleed/mark party for this boss. As usual I still feel like I'm not optimizing the skills as well as I could be.

However area attacks seem to work well on this boss as it only has one "pool" of hit points. Stacking bleeds worked well to take this thing out.

What heroes and and skills do you like for this boss?

Pretty much anything kills the flesh but PD and Houndmaster are exceptional due to multitarget bleed or blight, and being generally good anyway. For the other two slots i'd bring another generic bashdudes guy like leper or abomination and your healer of choice.

Four Houndmasters spamming Hound's Harry with trinkets that increase bleed chance as well as dodge chance.

Very cheap, but very easy.

I'm ok with cheap as long as it works. That would certainly get the job done.
MaA, Houndmaster, Vestal, Arbalest. Or alternatively, MaA-HM-HM-Vestal


I don't bother with Harry, I just use Hound Rush and target whatever part of it has the lowest prot

Do a longer video when you play your first champion dungeon, i think you are gonna do well on it.

Thank you for the vote of confidence. I will do a full video on my first champion dungeon. The only champion missions I have done are the Vvulf and the Shrieker.

Its actually pretty damn simple: mount every multi-target DoT you can find that fits the formation of your team.

Using the Hound Dog.

Nicely done.

Actually, what you did was a great way of kiling it. Good party for it. Spam multi-bleed attacks and just don't die, because with THIS boss you need to watch your health a bit indeed. The *only* tip I have for next time (cuz this time it really didn't matter that much) is that you shouldn't hit it in the 'ribs' section. Those sections have 80% damage reduction. Heads have 50% damage reduction. Hearts and butts are the best to hit. (you can see that when you hover over them)

Personally, I would have used the bounty hunter to stun the heads with uppercut, because those bites are pretty painful compared to other attacks.

PS: You forgot your dog bisuits again.

Thanks for the tips. I really couldn't figure out what each part did.

Houndmasters also have their own healing, so if RNG works against you and they take plenty of damage, they can take turns healing as the rest continues to attack. They can also guard each other. So if one is about to die and another is fine, that second one can guard him while he heals up. It's very efficient.

This is the one reason to take a Plague Doctor into the Warrens; she can clear off the DoTs and contribute to blighting and bleeding the thing down.

One of the other reasons Houndmaster is so good here is that you always want to try to hit the most 'vulnerable' parts of the flesh (The 'Heart'). Heroes that have decent attacks that can target multiple positions, particularly the very back, become extremely useful on a boss that can randomly rearrange its vulnerable parts.

I did not realize this thing had a heart. Good to know.
