Crush the keeper(how to kill the boss quickly)

[TheLaw]

Hey Drewl, whats the Link to the Tactics of Killing Gurgox?

[Drewl90]

I don't think there's any link. Its quite simple really.

You hear him growl, pick up a green orb. Lol. U must time it right though.

[Riccits]

whats the funktion of the green orb?.. and the other ones..?

[Ellyidol]

Did they fix this with the new update? I've tried tanking it via the empty space but it now manages to turn around and still find you. Unless those were some flukes when I was trying to tank it.

[Drewl90]

i'm not sure whether it still works. devs must have seen my post. lol.

haven't tried it, but i think it may still work. i have a feeling that bosses don't like enchantresses most. lol

Hey drewl, any mynas trick?

[Drewl90]

lol mynas hits pretty painfully so all i can say is get a couple of paladins to keep healing and to keep using WEAKNESS

been going on quite a few boss runs recently with mynas and seriously all i can say is that weakness is a real damage crusher. less heals needed.(although it still needs to be spammed. :P)

The aggro management fix shouldn't affect this at all, unless your tank wasn't actually holding aggro.

oh wow that was scary. never had a dev comment on my post before. lol.
but good to hear that the fix wouldn't affect this.

will the development team fix it though? this boss is a bit too tough.

[Jownz]

u got very gay loot from the keeper lol

[Drewl90]

lol i got my loot from mynas man.

not sure whether the keeper gives anything good. lol

[starjaya]

yup,god strategy.....hehehehe

If you or your team has trouble holding him in a corner, run around the voids in the room for a bit. The tanker pot, for me, is more for positioning the Keeper. Once he's positioned, with you on the other (short) side of a Void, if he's not cornered, it doesn't matter if your pot runs out. If another gets aggro, which they shouldn't but if they do, make sure they know to run around Voids until they reposition him. Except maybe for mages, he is survivable for positioning and/or knock back even without a Tanker pot. So don't always use money as a first solution.

Well this is a half truth.

Since the player with agro has to stay away from the mob once that player gets agro or get hit by the knock back, that player will inevitably lose agro on the keeper. Basicly there needs to be 2 dedicated tanks, or just make sure players know to stand away once they are getting hit by the knock back fireball.

The aggro fix completely changes this boss encounter, however the boss is still able to be defeated through team work. I like putting the keeper against a wall, and having the team split on either side of him so that only one side is being affected by knockback.

[Drewl90]

It is official. This does not work anymore.
Maybe I should keep things to myself

(groans painfully) Yeah. I know about the whole "Keeper hates mages" thing. Two groups have had something that works well. One is to get the Keeper on the bridge with the person he's aggro-locked on on the other side of a void. That person takes no damage since you can't shoot over the voids. The rest of the group gets on either end of the bridge and smacks him. This works as long as you don't move him!!! Don't Stomp, Firestorm or exploding arrow him. If he moves too far, he loses lock and whoever's closest to him will be his next target. The other was a brave (and smart!) avian (who's name I don't recall--sorry!) who went out of the room and stood just out of sight behind one of the door-frames. The Keeper stood just inside the door, focused on him, couldn't shoot him because he didn't have a visual and everybody else could fire at will--again, as long as you didn't move him out of position. So even with the changes, tactics will still win.

It does work. I have done it four times since the aggro fix. Sorry to contradict you, but it does work still.

But maybe I did a variation... let's see...

1. kills adds
2. everyone else wait 15 seconds outside
3. tank drinks tank pot and goes in to get aggro (must taunt, beckon, roar, every time those skills recharge)
4. everyone else kills him FROM BEHIND
5. Sometimes the tank loses aggro, but fresh taunting brings it back, and then mages may need to rev people...

It doesn't work if you go over and stand by the tank.
There's no need to corner him.

As long as you can keep him fixated on a tank with tanker's ale who spams evade and iron blood, he's killable, but not if only two people attack and the others stand around with their hands in their pockets.

Thanks for the post.

I got level 48 Mynas Helm, several level 48 purples from the Keeper. King Minos dropped a level 50 Kafra helm today. Even the Alien Lorekeeper dropped a level 50 bow the other day for me. So yeah, maybe the Keeper's loot is useless liquidation fodder.

[Dr.R]

lol i got my loot from mynas man.

not sure whether the keeper gives anything good. lol

You can get lots of void stufff!

[Drewl90]

Thanks canonica. I'll be sure to try that out sometime.


@snakespeare: haha yeah I didn't say that wen can't kill the keeper now, but I said that my tactic doesn't work anymore . Thanks for the input! I'm still trying to figure out something special for this guy. Been to busy farming mynas. Lol

@dr.r: haha yeah found that out already. Wish I had gone on more keeper raids while I had the tactic
