Crush the keeper(how to kill the boss quickly)

[Drewl90]

Hi guys i came across something today and it was really fascinating how it worked. This is a post about how the team can kill the keeper quickly and efficiently without spending too much money on pots.


Step 1: Organize the team - Appoint one tanker. The rest will do damage

Step 2: The tanker must buy a tank pot

Step 3: Tanker goes in first to receive aggro from the boss. The tanker is now targeted.

Step 4: The other group members now come in to help out. This is particularly important because the group members need to push the keeper to a wall/corner.(this method will fail without doing so)

Step 5: Tanker will need to move just a bit out of range of the keeper in order to allow the keeper to maintain targeting. The tanker does not need to get hit by the keeper, but NEEDS TO STAY IN CLOSE RANGE(being able to see him)

Step 6: Other group members do damage on the keeper.


AND VOILA! in less then 2/3 minutes you will have defeated the keeper without having too much hassle. Remember that teamwork and communication is key. All the best!


In this case, I'm the tanker.


Communication is key: i was supposed to go first, but that talon warrior didn't listen, so we ended up all dying. EPIC FAIL. Lol


We came around and pushed him against a wall. Everything was going smoothly..


We Even pushed him to a corner!


But then one of the warriors kept pulling the keeper to him and pushing him AWAY from the wall. -.-


Then we started complaining about how hard ao3 was


Then we finally did it. Hooray!

If you noticed, I only bought a tanker pot in the beginning. nobody else bought one saving money ftw!

BTWs
1. The tank must never go next to other group members. if he does so, other group members will be pushed back as well.
2. Kill a few aliens so the keeper can take maximum damage
3. Obviously this strategy requires a good mix of characters. imo, 1 paladin, 2 warriors, 1 archer, and 1 enchantress
4. This strategy works because the keeper will target ONLY the tanker. So the keeper will only shoot into empty space.



PS: if there are any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.


*EDIT*
take a look at this photo folks! . this was done in victory lap.. we all lined up to take a picture! can u do the same? :P

''HI MUM! ''

hey it really works! i killed the keeper with 2 mages, 2 warriors and 1 pally in one minute 30seconds! awesome stuff!

[Drewl90]

lol can't believe u timed it. but nice time.

[Azrael]

Accurate. kudos.

[TwinkTastical]

good idea, maybe the last pic will be a spacesuit for me?

haha well i hope you get one :P! This boss gives really sad items though. Although i do believe that the lousier the items the final boss gives, the rarer the good ones are from him.

Wish I would've seen this earlier. We all died many deaths and I burned more mana pots in a single go than ever before (mage). And we still didn't manage to kill the @*@!((#@.

[Drewl90]

hehe glad it helped!

- remember the deadwiz strat.

[RedRyder]

i confirm that this strategy works

[jonboy]

Last night I saw another good strat, where the tank gets in a corner and hold aggro, everyone else attacks the keeper from behind. No problem,

[Drewl90]

Haha yeah it's pretty much the same thing. I just stay further away so I won't need to heal every now and again..
Also, sometimes, the team takes too long and the tank will lose his armor. Usually the tank dies after that, and everyone after him.

So I prefer to stay large distances away from the keeper.

Nice one mate! Two Thumbs Up for this thread! xD
This boss drops all types of Staves, a Dark Matter staff of Thoth droped for my Pal.

But i dont think this tactic works for Gurgox and THE GALACTIC OVERLORD though..

[Riccits]

what i dont understand how u could kill him in such a less time... the tactic is right good but the only problem i had with this boss is his mana shield... with the shield on, we coudnt damage him...? at overlord u have the barrles to remove shield but her...?

i was every time "the tanker", the other doodes i played with didnt buy pots, but they died after some time... what did i do wrong?

when the keeper attacks me as "the tanker" i coudnt move anymore... so i dunno how to push him some way...

usually what i try to tell people when i'm helping them out(and to get items ;P), is that they should just use their "push back" skills when they pinned the boss down to the wall. For example, repulse shot or fireblast. When shield is down and damage is ready to be done on him, get everybody to do their own individual combos on the boss. that way you can maximize damage.

the reason why they died, is because either
1. you aren't close enough to the boss for him to target you
2. you walked in next to your group members, allowing the boss to "find" you, and use his aoe spell which damages ur teammates as well.*ouch

as a tanker, what you should do is get his attention, then quickly run somewhere to the sides or away from him. (what i do is that i go somewhere behind the 2 black holes in the middle)

hope that helped!

thanks man. appreciate the encouragement.
haha but yeah there's another thread on the galactic overlord at the bottom. Gurgox is pretty simple. but i'm busy now and i'll reply you later.

[Drewl90]

i just feel like this needs to be bumped to help people finish this boss.

[Saucee]

Will this work now that aggro mgmt has been fixed in the latest patch? Pls confirm/deny.

This is how I'm accustomed to doing it. Works well, plus the tank can contribute a little dps...

[Drewl90]

I'm afraid I'm not sure. I have a feeling that it will be affected =\
