He's the Demon on the Forbidding Island. Is he supposed to be killable? I can get maybe 1/3 of his health before dying. Has anyone managed to take him down?

[sdcrichy]

i did it first time when i did it, but i am a templer. my other charcter is just about to do that quest, so will be tomorrow or monday with news on that attack.

I'm pure warrior and I dont see how I'll be able to do this until they raise the level cap

[Glanppuccino]

Are you the same lvl as him?  I was full warrior and 2 lvl under him.  In no way was I able to beat him because I kept missing, glancing or he dodged.  Then I retried 1 lvl under him and got him.  The thing is, you don't actually kill him.  You have to lower him enough so he flees.  Make sure you have a lot of potions, that you are buffed up and that you start drinking potions as soon as possible to not get screwed by their cooldown.

 

If you need help whisper me in-game (unless the quest is a solo-instance, then I don't think I can help).

I did it first try with a ranger. Used one rejuv pot and had no real trouble.

I'm 1 lvl over and I'm having the same problem he keeps evading and 50% of my attacks arent doing anything. It is a solo-instance I already tried to bring someone with me.

I had the same experience as TrialByPain.  Redemption, Soup, Obelisk, and Pots.  Cross your fingers. 

[TreeFrog]

I guess I'll try it again, I didnt have the obelisk or soup so maybe that will be the difference

[Sirio]

It must be something about his melee defense or dodge, because I've just won the fight without any troubles on my ranger and I don't remember anything hard about him when I was fighting him with a healer. Maybe for melee classes it's a hard fight, but for others it's more like a standard solo boss fight.

[Bryn]

agreed, he is exceptionally good at avoiding melee damage

[TreeFrog]

Well that sounds about right considering everything else is somewhat easier for melee users, its only fair that something is harder for us.

[proffej]

I also did the quest and had no issues and I'm a templer =)

[Mongo]

I had no probs as Warior TreeFrog, are you using the + 10 melee pots too? They give a nice bonus! and might help

Done that one some time back as a Ranger i was a few levels under Demon. Kicked his can without much trouble.

[rowbet]

took me a little bit to work out the right tactics as a ranger, by which time I was 1 level higher, but with the right tactics (potions, familiar etc.) I had no problems.

I just did this at two levels under with a templar.  My problem was once I got him down to 1/2 health, he kept healing himself faster than I could damage him.  I just kept him around 1/2 health never gaining or losing ground.  I thought I figured out his strategy, that he would actually heal me instead of himself...but I could only get that to work a few times and then it didn't seem to work any more so he healed back up to 1/2 again.  I finally put away the sword and shield and took out a 2 hand axe and beat on him more that way.  Took me about 20 minutes and quite a few potions, but he finally flew away.  I was just in standard crafted gears with no special buffs.

I had the same issue. It is possible with VERY well timed tremors to break his heal, but if you miss one it goes back up by alot...

as a lvl 31 mage i took him down took about 10-15 mins hand go so sore.. i don't remember having that much trouble as a ranger
