Leshen???? (griffin school gear) *NO SPOILERS PLEASE*

[SOURDOUGH]

So i ding level 11 and see that the quest to find the griffin school gear is my level, i go to the grave and kill the wraiths and whaddya know a level 20 "Leshen". Level 11 mission my arse. furthest ive gotten on killing it is luring it to the poison gas and sitting in the hallway where you enter and trying (in vain) to dodge his weird vine attack.

Am i doing something wrong? Playing on deathmarch by the way

Yeah the leshen sometimes randomly shows up inside that area.

Just leave and come back later.

If you got anything that do DoT like fire, bleed and poison just use that on him. Use dodge instead of roll to avoid his attack. He should be dead in 5 mins at most.

[Living Broscillograph]

This topic is so old so every future person probably would know how to get through.

Hint: you can enter through exit.

That took me a few tries as well, and I think it's the toughest set loot to get, but you can kill the Leshen if you light up the poison gas. It will take some tries, but it's doable if you want the Griffin set. He also spawns in the forest outside, but so does a pack of wolves (and i absolutely hate these things).
There is a place of power on top of the hill, that I think was Igni, so it's worth taking.
If you can make Golden Oriole potion, it will help with not getting damaged by the poison gas, also White Raffard potion that heals a huge amount of health.
Devil's breath bomb is also good to throw at the Leshen while he's burning, for some extra damage (the bomb releases gas that can be ignited, you can even get achievement for doing it 10 times with burning enemy).
Keep rolling to maintain distance, and fire Igni at the Leshen and he will die. The Griffin set is what I'm using primarily, so it's definitely worth it if you like playing with signs.

"Am i doing something wrong?"


Yes. You don't have to kill the Leshen. You can loot the chest to get the gear diagrams and keep running up the stairs. There is an illusion at the top of the stairs that you can dispell with the item Keira Metz gave you. Once dispelled it reveals a back exit.

Thank you. I have been stuck in this mission for four years. My family has assuredly forgotten me, My hair reaches my ankles. all for the Leshen. Thankfully, your advice will help me progress onwards. Maybe I can finally return to my life after this, with griffin armor in tow.

I got attacked by the leshen outside of the cave, so I ran away and went to the cave. I was fighting some wraiths inside of the cave when the leshen showed up, I ran away thinking I was gonna come back at a higher level, but decided to run in and grab the loot inside. When I got back I found that the leshen just stood in the poison gas and died, level 10 and I beat the leshen by running away from it.
I was walking into that cave hoping the leshen had left, or that I would be able to loot before it arrived, but what actually happened is much better.

I just entered the ekimmaras lair when the leshen showed up. It for some reason was missing 70% health. Still me being lvl 5 and it lvl 20 made it difficult, especially that I had to keep eyes on the ekimmara at the same time. I just barely managed to defeat both. I read the leshen was not supposed to be there at all but above the hill. It just bugs inside the caves for some reason. Guess could be related to the teleporting attack it uses.

[Sabaithal]

Yeah, that ♥♥♥♥♥♥, always level 20 for some reason. Ran into him too, dark corridor, never seen a Leshon before, didn't even get a good look at him. Something hit my ass HARD, I fell back, and when I returned...the Leshon had disappeared. It was just gone, no clue where.

[dwarfpcfan]

Yeah that Leshen is kinda like the 25th level griffin you meet not far where you meet Keira. You're fighting level 10-15 monsters it's all chill if you have an idea what you're doing then that annoying ass 30th level griffing shows up the screw with you.

There's also a very high level grave hag in the same area, same deal one shot if you're unlucky.

After those nasty experiences I paid a lot more attention to my abilities to maximize everything at every level.

And that's when I started beating monsters showing as level ??? level 12 ish

[lukandroll]

I had that leshen appear two times, once when I was going to the village nearby, I run'd like hell
Second time was in that hellish corridor, he teleported there, I backed away to finish the wraiths, and was nowhere to be found afterwards
I'm gonna go there later and see if he actually died or if not, give him my regards
