Has anyone been able to beat Kesh's final challenge in arena, i need a strategy. I have all aetherium armor and weapons and am near level 65 but i just can't figure out how to kill these slime dudes.

Helps to have Iron Will passive, and equip Divine Barrier to shield against "Nuclear."

Chi blast tends to do good damage to them. Could also equip fortified stance if you need more tanking.

I beat them using as much int as possible and using Chi Blast to take them out 1 at a time.

Chi blast was my answer!

Are you sure? I found that chi blast gave a low damage something like 600 damage, while I use other skill that gave 2,000 damage, but even that is still not good, they still kill kesh's even wtih iron will passive. He was 58 level at a time, and it's only arena I had problem with him, all other party member done thier duty on area one battle all but him.

Have to get your int to decent levels and chi blast will oneshot them. Then it's a matter of surviving until you can hit all 3.

I'm about at my wit's end with this fight.

Level 68, all aetherium mail with +INT gems, aetherium caster weapon, Accursed Amulet, and Championship Belt.

Chi Blast still doesn't one-shot the slimes (assuming it isn't dodged in the first place!), next round all three cast Super Scanner; my next turn, Chi Blast is still on cooldown and none of my other skills are capable of finishing the wounded slime, so I cleanse the debuff. Then all three slimes smack me and I die.

I have yet to have Iron Will proc once in all my attempts. Not sure what else I can do. This is my final solo arena to do.

Try pumping Agi instead of Int, and use the Agi stance, it gives Evasion, and help surviving those initial strikes. Also, you might want to equip Plate armor instead of Mail.

I had a bit of trouble with them as well. Once I somehow survided the initial damage they only seemd to start some skills with lone preparation time and I managed to stagger + damage them with that one ability that lets you hit a whole column ... using that repeatedly + the stance that lets stagger. (And I think some stagger augments in weapon to increase stagger.)

I was able to do it with a level 55 Kesh without much issue. Mine was an evasion tank, so he was decked out in all leather (behemoth hide) gear. However, these dudes' attacks are NOT DODGEABLE. So I filled his augs+accessories with as much stam and HP as I could, and used that Fortify Stance on his first turn (with a Temporal Modulator in armor slot to prevent Super Scan).

I forget Kesh's passives precisely, but it was the +Stats With TP, Iron Will (which didn't end up proccing!), and... something else.

They scanned me (and failed to land it), then all attacked. If none crit, I barely survived. Then I proceeded to two-shot them down with Chi Blast. I think I needed to stagger one at the end while waiting on Chi Blast to come off CD (I used the ability that deals VIT debuff + stagger).

It worked well, although I'll note that Kesh's AGI and INT were pretty high from all the leather armor.

renbletz where did you get the temporal modulator? i'm on the Angra Mainyu atm.

Aside from the main damage dealer - Chi Blast, another thing to remember if you wanna survive a Nuclear and don't have a Divine Barrier ready - use Guard. Barely, but you'll survive.

It was in a big chest, but I forget where...

Temporal Modulator is in the big chest in the 2nd part of Angra Mainyu. (Not the repeatable version, the story version)

There's actually 2 big chests in that level. It's in the 2nd one after the alexei fight.
