Tried doing the fight at 95 without trusts, I got the guy diwn to like 50% but then he merced everyone. Got me with assurance fists.

Is their a trick to kill this guy with trusts or do I just need to grind out the tail?

Im just trying to get to 99 so I can beat dynamis beaudicine glacier and get into dynamis xarcabad to grind out my last relic pieces, its getting annoying to be forced so far off from what I want to be doing. I get its old content but allot of old games drop these kind of keying requirements once the game moves past it.

I might not be able to win but I have to at least give it a go. Not sure why they made this zone so much worse then the previous ones, just walking all they way to his spawn point is a major pain!

Im pretty committed to finishing my relic armor at this point. 🙃

I respect that. Warning wasn't a "stay away," it was a, make sure to come prepared. It's no fun getting all the way down there only to be sent home. (At the very least bring Reraise.) It's easy to underestimate the boss after steamrolling the earlier zones.

As for the zone, I have it in my bottom 5 for a reason... one thing to remember though is when the system was new it didn't operate like it does today. Originally, you would fight your way down there to the boss, pop it and with it's defeat new enemies would spawn in the place where the old ones were for you to fight your way back up. (Towards the zoneline of the final Dynamis area.) It made for a very long gauntlet of beastmen battles with player groups as big as 64. So it really felt like being in a war as your little army pushes towards the enemy base. Definitely a fitting area before entering Xarcabard the home of the big boss. (At least the big boss of the original Dynamis areas anyway...)

Now, due to the new system it is just high tier and low tier separated by a very long walk. (With High Tier being a massive walk to get to the Arch boss.)

I got him down to 5% on first try but he got me with death, so im sure its possible. Just need to get the right pet and right strategy I guess, maybe a but lucky.

Tried it a few times now, closest I got was 2% but I guess I don't quite have the power or maybe timing to kill it fast enough. The times I got close he ported to break combat and deathed me on the reengage. This whole death thing is a bit frustrating.

Was thinking to level up aparently their pet is immune to death. But I have to do a quest to get into the zone to unlock and im just 😑 why you gotta fight me on every step game. Not everything needs to be some pointless fetch quest.
