[Help] Final boss as a melee character ?

[[Wahr] Eogard]

Hey guys,

I'm a level 32 Conqueror (Warfare + Defense) so basically the most melee thing ever and I just hit a huge difficulty wall aka Typhon (in normal). I thing the problem is that I got litterally no usable gear for my character during the Oriental part and thus I feel really weak against this dude. I approach it I deal like no damage and I have to run or he two shots me.


Here's my current build [www.titancalc.com] and I still have 3 skill points that I just got

I feel like my build is no good for this dude so any advice is welcome

And also can I farm somewhere for better gear ? If I go to chap 1 and 2 it drops low item level so I don't really know what to do


Thank you for reading

Conqueror was used to be the most OP combination imo, not sure in this edition. However, the tricks to fight Typhoon are:
1) Avoid his fire rains skill. It can one-shot even a tank character.
2) Drink your healing potions like mad, if you are not careful, he can two-shot you.
3) MOST IMPORTANT imo: lure him away the statues. As you can see, he often take statues power then do some skills with different effects. So just lure him to place that he can just absorb 1 or 2 statues as most.

About skill: Try to rush to Colossus Form if you like, it's op.

I know your feeling, I am playing as a harbinger. I had no clue how to beat Typhon since he basically oneshoted me.
Then I just went to the vendor and bought myself a bow and cheesed him to death. Kite him to the stairs that lead up to him, find the spot where his aggro reset. Proceed to shoot some arrows then walk back and reset his aggro. You can do this until he dies. He was as cakewalk when I did this.
Hades was a joke compared to Typhon.

No weapon upgrades in act III? No whomper? No Sabertooth or Tiger Claw weapons from the tigermen?

And yeah, 1 point in Colossus Form is pretty ace.

Too many points in the shield Weapon Pool Skills and not nearly enough in the Mastery. I would suggest having 3-4 points in Rally and Inspiration too, those are life saver.
In my opinion, you should have both trees maxed at level 30, as that means access to the very powerful skills at the top. My Templar, for example, can facetank Typhon while having level 1 Colossus Form active. When it's not active, I have to revert to sneaking in a hit or two while dodging.
Also, the gear does seems to be a huge problem. No usable gear at all in Act 3, really? I mean, I think even yellow items at that level would be better than the blues from Act 2 already. Try farming Ormenos or the guy at the Chang'an Palace for better gears. Don't just ignore yellows either, as they would be better than blues from 10 levels ago. Also, maybe farm Tigermen for Sabertooth. That's a very nice sword. It's not too hard to find and while it's not the best sword, it should be much better than anything from Act 2.

I think the Statues no longer matter in the last version.

Yeah, I don't recall him ever siphoning off of the pillars/statues; not ever. Not in this version, not in the 1st version I had when I bought the game ages ago. ...not unless he was running back to them well out of view. One can only zoom out so much.

But he is a pain in the ass for my warfare/dream character, on Epic. I'm gonna have to cheese him with a bow instead of tanking him because his life-drain revitalizes him completely & seems to have the longest range. There is no pattern of fire; meteor shower, to lightning, to green arrow, to lightning again, and then life drain, mana drain, lightning, green, fire, fire, fire, fire, life-drain. ad nauseum. Will probably have to get that warhorn skill, Dream waves or some combo; throw magics at him.

Literally 5 minutes into the game on an epic character. One sabertooth and one tiger claw drops. Tiger Claw (Since it is a tiger claw lol) Should have had a bonus damage to pets possibility, Sabertooth as well.

I could not get past him at the end of my Epic run, the second playthrough.
What I had to do to beat him with a melee character was move Skill points around. Both Warfare and Spirit characters have minions/familiars/summons they can conjure. (I combined Defensive with Spirit Mastery.) I used the Outsider and Lich King from Spirit master, and the Ancestral Horn in Warfare.
They cost nothing but mana and time to use. It'll take awhile but it worked for me in both instances. If your Defensive character is combined with the right mastery it may possibly summon minions to do the work.
Some spells, and additional item effects can help as well.
