Elemer of the Briar

Reward: 24,000 Runes, Marais Executioner'due south Sword, Briar Greatshield

First of all, a ranged build or shooting spells from afar is useless confronting this dominate. He will constantly throw swords at you lot when going a few meters away from him. You lot will take to learn to dodge his melee attacks perfectly, land 1-3 hits between his combos and echo. Play with light armor so that your stamina recharges faster. Having 25 Endurance helps to accept more stamina, if you haven't upgraded stamina it'due south more tricky. Because the dominate attacks quickly and constantly you lot always need to watch your stamina bar and then that you accept enough left to contrivance and country a counter-striking. Playing with heavy armor would make you lot too slow for this. If you get hit y'all need to dodge back after he finishes a combo and speedily heal, then immediately dodge his next attack (he doesn't go out long breaks betwixt attacks). Y'all accept to stay close to him at all times. His shut-range melee attacks are easy to dodge one time yous acquire his attack pattern, merely it takes some learning and you take to get skilful at dodging, which can be challenging at offset if you played a ranged build/mage so far. If you play a mage, employ the Carian Slicer spell, which is a magic melee sword attack. The proficient thing is that this boss doesn't take overly much wellness, but he is very aggressive and has a very big movement prepare. First by summoning some ashen remains to distract him a fiddling fleck. He will kill your cadaverous remains quickly just it will at least give you some aid at the start of the fight and opens him up for attacks from behind. There are 3 moves yous can exploit: after his melee combos you tin can get ane-3 hits in, the best one is when he stabs the sword forward every bit you can easily contrivance behind him and land two quick hits. Some other practiced one is when he smashes his shield on the basis, dodge backward and and then state ii quick hits. For anything else, you'll want to dodge towards him and slightly to the side to get behind him. When he starts spinning his sword and makes it turn red, he will throw it frontward in a straight line, then you can dodge towards him and chop-chop become behind him, while his spinning sword attack is going you lot can land 4-v hits from behind to deal a lot of damage rapidly. He doesn't do this move too often but he should do it one-iii times during the fight, and it'southward the best opening to take down 20% of his health in i go. This one of the more skill-based fights due to the perfect dodging required and yous can't run away from him because of his throwing swords that will striking you anywhere, then it'south more than of a instance of "go skillful" and learning his move prepare and dodging perfectly.
