Galactic overlord tips needed

[FluffNStuff]

Man, ao3 bosses are gonna be awfull for future generations of pl players. All the knowlege the hardcore have acumulated will be lost or gathering dust in a barely read forum thread. For those that dont power level past it may experience the challenge that the swamps bosses once were.

i get the theory but it aint working

I got a video on it I believe in the PLGUIDES Channel on youtube? It should be one of the last videos. The clip is hidden somewhere towards the end of the video I believe.

I never knew Blast Shot took down his shield... is this the same for all others with shields? What if it's part of Cruel Shot?

There was once I joined a full group with two birds in it and we killed it in less than 1 min. Another time, with 1 bird but he did not use tank pot and keep dying, me and another mage took forever to kill him, maybe 30 min as well. That mage got a little pissed off and said he could solo OL faster with his bird.

I get at least 40-50 visits a day on my AO3 guide according to photobucket It still works!

Blast shot will remove an elf's shield in PvP. For bosses you generally need the cruel blast combo to take down his shield.

Strange... whenever I used Blast Shot or Cruel Shot or anything on a boss, it never took the shield away. I'm fighting Keeper and it just stays on him for like, a minute!

[KingFu]

It depends on the boss usually. Cruel blast won't break the shield, only barrels will.

Blast shot does not work on keeper's shield

[Moogerfooger]

Blast shot does work on OL, however. Haven't run him in a while so can't remember if it was Cruel Blast only, or just blast shot, but I always did Cruel Blast anyway....takes that shield off like a dress on prom night. I'd have to go run it again and could be wrong, but pretty sure no barrels needed.

anyone on wanna join me in ao3?

Is the blast shot removing the shield thing labeled a glitch? Doesn't make sense nor is it fair that a bird can take down a shield but a mage/bear has to rely on barrels.

It's not fair that mages get mana shield and can get past fire grates. It's not fair that bears have armor that gets them past fire grates. It's not fair that birds have neither mana shield or decent armor to get them past fire grates. It wasn't fair when a barrel blew yesterday (not killing me) but pushing me into a fire grate just as it exploded and finished me off. (I'm teasing you, in case the tone doesn't come through). I think the idea was to encourage teamwork/mixed groups which isn't a bad thing. And, since there's a work-around for groups that don't include birds, I don't think it's particularly unfair.

Don't forget if you get the barrel thing working well, it helps (helped?) in Shadow Caves with the shielded guys and the barrelled room outside. It's just like the rest of the game -- it's good to learn how to play and to experiment and adjust to the mob and to your group.

I thought it was just Cruel Blast that takes down OL shield, though not positive. You can do him with two archers and zero elixers if you have just a little patience.

First archer gets aggro and glitches OL against wall. Second archer steps into doorway and uses cruel blast, then gun/bow. Don't use any push (repel shot), but use everything else. At some point OL will change aggro to bird two, chug an HP pot or two while going to glitch spot and first archer takes over. Stay in the doorway to be quick back to glitch spot.

It takes a bit of time, but I like the feeling of doing it without pots. With both archers taking damage pot I think it would fly. We would also use our mages to clear the level first, then swap out to archer (in VL).

By the way, go to OL room first and dispose of Lorekeepers before OL spawns. Much easier that way. Otherwise it's just everybody pot up and go button mashing.
