Impossible Overlord
He's a level 53 Marauder Tank (shield and spear)
His strengths are arrow, fire, poison, frost, and beast proof. On top of that, he also has two epic traits, great strength AND thick skinned.
His ONLY fear is brutality.
How the actual ♥♥♥♥ am I supposed to even hit him after his adapted to the freeze move, adapts to vaulting, and has infinite waves of allies AND can heal himself.
I'm in Act 4 and after playing through the game entirely in Nemesis mode, he is the single hardest enemy I've ever had to kill.

Keep his focus on you while an Olog bodyguard beats the tar out of him from behind.

You might also be able to use his fear. Climb the walls and hide up top, and wait for one of his minions to be dumb enough to get close to the wall so you can brutalize it. There is also a very brief moment after cursing basic enemies that you can stealth kill them, meaning you can brutalize just-cursed enemies in the middle of combat.

Well, atleast he has a weakness.

- Fear of Brutality
- Infinite waves of allies
This makes him more vulnerable than you imagine. Get yourself some gear that lets you apply Curse. As soon as a grunt gets cursed do a Brutalize stealth kill on him. This should daze the captain and give you a good bit of Might. Either use Executions on the captain, or hit him while dodging grunt attacks. Once daze wears off either use a full bar Brutalize Execution on a grunt, or try to land another Curse/Brutalize stealth kill. If you can keep this up he shouldn't be a problem.

Are you kidding me?.. that orc is p*ss easy to deal with....

Just get the skill upgrade for pinning that causes fear. Pin about 4 orcs. Then rush up to one of them and brutalize one of them. As you can do stealth attacks freely on anyone fleeing.

I keep overlooking that pinning fear move because it seems like such an easy mode option. I guess it's not really any different than the weapons that cause fear inducing head explosions... but seriously, shooting guys in the foot? Seems like a Skyrim joke upgrade.

The arrow in the knee meme has spread so far that not even the most hardened orcs can stand being near it.

OK...old thread, but I'm on the same boss. But my one has no fears lol Any ideas?
He literally adapts to vaulting, pinning, arrows etc
Damaged by fire, execution and stealth (but stealth is obviously off the table)

bruh necropost
Whatever, just use elven light/explosive arrow with fire upgrade or stealth chain on scared grunts to attack him. Dont use execution as those 2 would also kill grunts/make captain running as he burns and give you some time to farm might on survivors
Of course if "damaged by fire" means vulnerable to fire, not just can get damage by fire, otherwise just spam executions on him

And creator, please, kill that thread

You know after getting beaten by him twice and posting here, I realized the one thing he can't adapt to...Ologs lol
All I had to do was set him up with a few Olog body guards and I could just sit back and watch the show. Didn't have to lift a finger...they did all the work and I just stepped in to dominate him lol
