Daemon second form black hole

[Daded]

Hello all !

This boss is insane. He use is magick trick "black hole" three or four time. I can't beat him because he always (if it's not the first the second or the third try its the fourth try) kill my three pawn. And to make thing more difficult the camera focus on him so i can't see where i am going.

Have you tips to never be taken in his trap ?

I am desesperate to beat him.

Best regards

What class.
You need 2x barbed nails rings, impact augment and strong weapon to interrupt the vortex.

Range class is easy mode. Hide behind broken pillar, mighty bend or fearful din the nose. Magic can use Holy focus bolt.

Melee class, climb as soon taken 3 HP bar:

After trying like 40 times i beat him. That's was based on luck. The luck to be at the right place when he used his black hole. But also skill, i had to anticipate that he will uses his skill, to run in the right direction and click on F2 like i was insane to say to my pawn to follow me (they have a tendency to fall in his trap if i do not do this).

In his second form if you are in a place in can use his deadly skills he will stop to cast a few moment and then use his trick. But if you are in a place he can't do it he will stop his cast and go to a place he can. I was very concentrated to determinate if he will use his skills or not. It was a decision to flee and to be taken in less than 5 seconds. Basicly i have learned every of his spells by heart.

To conclude and this has never change in this game, if you want to play only in difficult to this game you have to know every monster by heart to beat them.

PS : i used two level 200 with me a strider and a archer. And my pawn was just a bag to take care of my items. Because mage at this point are not very usefull.

safest trick:
Hide behind something, you can also pop a liquid vim so you wont lose all your stamina while trying to run away from the sucking effect.
Make sure you're far from him to wait for the skill to finish... far enough so that your pawns lose agro, otherwise your pawns will just run at him and get swallowed back to the rift (and you'll be alone fighting).
_________________________________________________

Best trick:
His rift attack (he actually open the rift to send your pawns back in it) is an instability state (this mean that while he use this skill, his KD resistance gets lower).
So stack knock down effect on him rapidly while aiming at his head. Depending on your vocation this might prove difficult...
Having augments like impact or emphasis (the later only work on spells designed to knock back/down), gear like barbed nail, eliminator helm and cursed king belt equipped (each improve your KD power by 50 pts), popping periapts (up to 4), using blast arrows will help.

Another good option is to climb him (under the effect of a liquid vim), eventually using climbing improving augments (or simply being a strider) and attack his head (that's his weak point in "normal" form, in the dragon form it becomes the dragon head).
Skills like hundred kisses and dire gouge are good for this, but simple light core skills will stack more knock down effect per hit (but have less dps).
The goal doing this is the same, knocking him out of his skill.

If you succeed, he will stop using his skill and enter a stunned state for a few seconds, kneeling on the ground, he will also be taking pre-emptive damages untill he recovers.

Cheat mode:
Ranger/strider/assassin + tenfold/fivefold volley + impact + 2 barbed nails + cursed king belt (no need to upgrade it) + eliminator helm (no need to upgrade either) + 4 conqueror periapts + clout + vehemence + 1 liquid vim + as much blast arrows as you can carry (make your pawns carry other stacks for you) + Holy affinity on your shortbow/longbow (purely physical, no permanetly enchant split damage crap... unless you got nothing better of course....).
- Before the fight start ask your support mage to cast holy affinity on you (press the help command).
- Approach him to get the cutscene to start.
- Once the cut scene finish, open your inventory then equip your blast arrows along with all your KD power boosting gear (barbed nail, eliminator helm, cursed king belt) then pop your 4 conqueror periapts and your liquid vim.
- Charge tenfold/fivefold volley, aim at his face and start shooting.
That should knock him down quite fast.... when he's on the ground stunned, keep shooting untill you run out of blast arrows....
- if he's still alive after all your blast arrows are spent (very unlikely, unless you really suck at aiming...), take all the blast arrows you can carry from one of your packmule-pawn (exchange the stuff you carry for his blastarrows to take as much as possible).
- Keep shooting.
- Stop shooting when it dies (to save blast arrows).

Remember that a ranger should be farther than 12 meters from the target to deal max damages with his longbow while shortbow users (assassin and strider) should be below 12 meters.... adjust your range accordingly depending on the vocation you picked... this will save some blast arrows

Also know that tenfold is bugged and consumme more special arrows than the amount of hits it really deals..... so this skills isnt necessarly the best choice, only the highest attack power of the longbow give some advantage to rangers here. But it's definitely the vocation that will burn trough stacks of blast arrows the faster.

You can also go the risky but very rewarding (and blast arrows saving) way of the force hatchet assassin.... basically charge the force hatchet on daimon (2 full mooslashes or antler tosses should do) then start spamming blast arrows at his face.... this will grant you a 200% multiplier to any of your physical attacks (so bow attacks and blast arrows damages too....) untill you get hit by something.
If you get hit while the force hatchet is charged, the liquid vim should prevent the counter effect (losing all of your stamina) but you'll have to charge your force hatchet again to get the damage bonus back.
Also.... this effect stacks with the effect of the conqueror periapts (so 400% damage in total).

Thanks for your advice !

anticipating his vortex attack is a priority for a melee type, you will want to be under the effects of a liquid vim and already be climbing on him so you can punch him in the face repeatedly. You can make this go faster with strength buffs. If you can stagger him out of it you basically win because you can repeat this until he goes down.
If my memory serves he will eventually do a vortex on his own if one takes too long, or if his health reaches a certain point.
