Vail the Immortal

I am trying to kill Vail the Immortal and have tried every combination I can get with the equipment I have. I can't kill him. I am level 26 and still can't get it done. Anybody got any advice? Is it even possible?

It is definitely possible. You have to make sure you kill the phylactery (sorry if my spelling is wrong) which is an inanimate object which he kind of retreats to.
I would recommend a lightning gun or some kind of ranged weapon and a melee weapon. It is a hard fight and idk of an 'easy' way to do it. Those 2 gargoyles + the heap of mobs make it a pain.
Try to take out the extra mobs and dont be afraid to kite sometimes (especially if your potion is on cooldown and you are low on hp)

Killing Vail himself isnt that hard at all imo. The hard bit is getting to his phylactery while so many mobs are trying to kill you. Just try kill those mobs first.

Ok, Thanks. I will keep trying. The last 2 Gargoyles nail me about 1 before I can get a potion.

If you run in the room and take a slight left you can wall jump up to the middle of the map where the phylactery is and avoid the majority of the mobs (and repeated fights). From there just focus the phylactery down and then clean up the mobs and boss.

Yeah I try and kill the phyalctery from far away and kind of run back and forth. I try to hit it while they are 'sleeping' then run away before they 1 shot me. It isn't easy, but I found quite a few of the boss fights required more than a couple of attempts.
@Damien : Don't you find if you go right up to the phylactery that you just get insta gibbed by the gargoyles ? I am level 50 now so idk if they are just scarier or what.

Two things that really help make vail a much more manageable fight imo.

1. Remember there is a 2x damage shrine right next to the phylactary. This really helps in killing those damn gargoyles.
2. Both gargoyles always seem to have the spinning laser demon power so its a good idea to run upto the wake them both up get them both to drop the laser then back right away till the lasers disappear. Then move in and engage the gargoyles. If you try to just run upto them and burst them down the 2 lasers really hurt.

Other minor things are make sure you have a good aoe weapon.
Rapier is gold for vail fight since charge is fantastic aoe and plenty of weak skeles you can use to refresh its cooldown making it very spammable against the skele horde.
Finally the time bubble demon power is great for this fight since you can drop it in the middle of the gargoyles and hit both. This means you can pretty easily burst them down down before they can do much (when used with the double damage shrine).

Oh and finally since you have that double damage shrine consider the blink demon power too. The flurry effect stacks nicely with double damage for a huge increase in dps.
