How do you beat the hermit?

[A level 126]

After getting Itzli's hand blade, spirit of the hoarder and ~300 influence I was breezing through the game fine until I got to the hermit. I got him to ~2/3 hp before I ran out of mana but then I couldn't do damage despite the lack of shield indicator beside his health. He just kept summoning stuff and knocking down the roof till I died. Any advice?

The hermit is an incredibly annoying boss. You have to knock the rocks into him, but the rocks have short range.

Oh boy, okay. Thanks a lot

Unique itzlis gives you more melee dmg the more mana you have so try not to use spells. Balors blessing on weapon is btw imba with that weapon. Also be aware when hes doing anything, like readying an attack and get the hell away.

Most of his attacks are not parryable witch makes him one of the hardest along with the alchemist I think

Itzli's yellows can change, its only the blue that stays the same. This was mine: http://imgur.com/dY4NgIx
The extra armor and hp made the game simple up until hermit

Yeah, that blade is good, got one with bonus dmg from influence, and I was playing midas :P was trying to knock the bugs into him since hitting the rocks didn't seem have to have any effect what so ever .. guess I have to try again :3

Once the rocks have fallen to the ground try knocking one high so it falls onto the top of him. It will pull out his head and your spells will do damage to him again. You have to do this 3-4 times I think, but it should only take one rock each time.
