Baron Herx

[aman3232]

I was just wondering if it is even possible to kill baron herx. My friend and I have tried many times but no matter what items we have baron kills us. I know there is a boss after baron so anybody that has beaten him have any advice.

Hit and run. There are pillars around the map so use them to dodge his magic. invisibility helps a lot and magic reflection can save your life. he only sprays magic and teleports around so he won't be too hard if you can quickly take care of the things he summons. Move left or right if you can't hide behind the pillars when baron sprays magic. having high speed help a lot when you try to avoid his spells.
It takes forever, but it is not impossible.

And spoiler alert










there is no boss after baron herx.
If you want to fight Baphomet you need a pickaxe or digging spell/wand and Ring of levitation or levitation spell. I won't say any more about it because it will ruin the fun

The tip is just tips for reaching him. To get to the secret level Baphomet resides you need them.
Starting as a Joker gives you a ring of levitation. The joker might be hard at the beginning, but the ring lets you reach many secret rooms and loot.

We finally beat baron herx now we gotta kill baphomet

Nope, the Baron is impossible. Once you reach him you should just turn the game off ahead of time because he is invincible and you will never beat him.

JUST KIDDING! :) Of course it's possible to kill the Baron. In fact, we have a stickied thread at the top of this forum dedicated to sharing tricks for beating the Baron when you get to him. Keep trying and you will win eventually! The fact that he is a real, final hurdle to overcome at the end is completely deliberate.

I killed the Baron on the first try. To be fair, I probably couldn't have done it if I had hunger enabled since I spent all the levels selling crap and raising my appraise. I was about level 21 when I fought the Baron.

You can use the cheats, which will give you a good chance. But without "god mode".

get yourself a ring of levitation if possible, and a pickaxe.

Blast the wall just to the left or right of the entrance, so that you need to hover to get out, and then if you get hurt, just get out, heal back up, and run back in. He can't quite leave his room.

One of my better runs, had like 5 ranged weapons and 6 staffs, magic resist/reflection and amulet of life, but no levitation or invisibiltiy, ... and still couldn't kill Baron. He just has SO MUCH HP and melee is like the the least viable option in this fight
Only got him to about 20%.

7hourEdit: friend and I had like tons of magic reflection, life amulets, and legendary weapons and his health just dropped so quick :0
