XJ9's Solo Kerapac (Hardmode) Magic Guide - Gano/achto methods!!! Defender camping easy simple!
134GET A NODON DRAGONKIN SLAYER TASK : Slayer helmet/anacronia stand works! 14.5% dps increase. Genocidial perk also works (biting 4 + geno OR impatient 4 + genocidial)
Really fun boss. I love tanking. Defenders are love.
IMPORTANT : You can keep the shadow ring (Fully upgraded 1k anima) in your bank and it'll make you stun immune. I tried before and I swear it wasn't working that way, but whatever.
TIPS to get better kill times:
1. Avoid killing the shadow bomb that deals damage over time. Animate dead makes it only deal 150-200 damage at a time, and it'll die to aoe of dragon breath/corruption.
2. Unlock greater conc. It is insanely strong. Just spam it as much as possible, your kill times will go way up.
3. Surge his sky dive attack to dodge it, as well as make him not get his 50% damage reduction. Rotation is either - Surge away- attack (bleeds/conc) - Surge - Attack and stay put and dps OR Surge away- attack (bleed corruption) and surge back into sun) - dps + walk away 3 squares and stay put and dps
4. If you have limitless sigil, you can time warp - Sunshine - basic - limitless and reflect/debilitate. This is quite nice, as your limitless will be up after the time warp ends, and you can use reflect/debil again if needed (p3 lots of lightning).
5. Using time warp - sunshine - limitless is very good, as you get free thresholds. Not that big of a deal if you have greater conc though!
Best solo time is 6:13 for me currently with this same achto setup in videos (just a ripper demon + conc codex)
