I'm biased to Du Ruo lol

if you notice at 0:40 timestamp, the boss put 2 debuffs that looks like red and blue radio wave above their head (it targets furthest sinner and highest defense sinner respectively), which you can cleanse by moving them closer to each other or they'll die due to massive damage. The moveset is called Whimsical Waves, listed under enemy info which you can view before fight.

​​@@WheatAxthank you for the information 😃

ideally yes but I was too lazy to swap it lol you can also swap zoya with any other role that's not others (or another fury) and it should be ok as well (Rahu probably works better here also but mine is kinda not that built much haha)

np, glad it help in some way! yeah this boss definitely favored cabernet a lot

it was all your hard work, Chief! and glad it help in some way

It's doable with s0 Bianca weakspot team + Che/Laby in it (link in description) and frankly this bleed video isn't the best vid to clear (the other video I made with same comp but different position/strat had way better time clear). I don't know EEE team since I do not have Eve so I didn't clear on it. I wish I'm a whale but I'm not lol otherwise my Du Ruo and Zoya would be s5 already LMAO (I'm also not that pro, plenty of room for improvement as I make mistakes here a lot; aka using Dreya ult when Levy isn't ulting lol), I don't throw money just to pull more copies of a character (s5 shalom was pure luck having thrown all my 40k cubes I saved for her and skipping previous banners before it, deren took 2 banners) but I do buy their surveillance and monthly vip pass to support AISNO as a long time player since they're already generous compared to other gacha companies. There are also players with s5 deren/shalom for example yet still can't clear this map but some who don't could, so I wouldn't say it's catered to whales. Without looking at what you do for your own run, it's hard to say what would be different. Cause for example, to play EEE optimally from s1n guide, they emphasize on snapshotting as without it, your dps will drop. The same goes for animation cancelling which boost dps way more. You can also use assist here, so borrow someone's sinner if you really want to. Plus the reward isn't something 'must have' (it's literally just 600 duckcoins) as someone has mention it before in another comment, so this is more like extra stuff to do but not necessarily needed, similar to hysterical mania literally.

thanks Chief! o7

can place after the fight start. but if you're referring to why I don't place any sinner except Levy (or any endura) on it, it's cause there's a 3 box line aoe on whoever the boss target and it does alot of damage

@@WheatAx yes the first one. thanks i already tried it. kind of tough cus during the second core reveal my backline just dissapear bcs of the cannon guy lol

@@welldone2312 those cannon guys hurts a lot. Literally murdered my sinners with 1-2 bonk haha

I just yolo in blind so it isn't fully optimized XD probably doable since shackles are just bonus, the skills and cb/ecb matters more, and a lil bit of micro management. At least they let us use assist so can borrow a friend's/ss assist sinners to help

Worst case, you're losing 600 QuaCoins, which translates to 6k DisCoins since we're always able to clear event shops. So, enjoy the challenge but don't push yourself too hard ;)

@@Aranarth78 Exactly. It's more of an extra stuff/challenge if you want (I'm just a masochief that loves the gameplay too much XD). They're generous enough to let players get all the rewards from the shop by completing the event story and the easier EX maps. So it's ok to skip this if can't complete (I know I skip hysterical mania for that meager 60 hypercubes 👀)

Glad to hear it help in some way. And thanks as well!

she's so fun to play with XD

Any healer should be fine even coq. Just use her ult on squishy sinners 1st

np. I'll keep that in mind, usually forgot that thing even exist lol

Nice! Yeah, physical pen 20% will probably be better. I just picked whatever initially since going in blind and then stopped once I reached the goal xD

that's great! always satisfying when we manage to down them in few rounds XD

@WheatAx Oh most definitely. I recently finished my honor mode run, though I nuked Gale to do it. But I was very well prepared should I have to do the final fight, grabbing nearly every ally I could get my hands on and stocking up on disintegrate and globe of invulnerability scrolls.

Thanks! I think this boss gives people a lot of trouble haha even me when I first tried it so it's understandable. Leak strat works well just so we can get the token reward from weekly especially after we got the medal for the season and just wanna do weekly

no problem! glad it help. As someone who has finger pain, I can relate w

Great work! Yeah she is. I love her especially on coquelic team. She's also good for pits and mania training as well

I'll just copy paste my reply on similar question: 10 swords bard/2 fighter (for levelling go 6 bards 1st for extra attack then fighter after it, once you get level 7, respec fighter 1st for con save then 6 bard > 1 fighter > 4 bard) *take two weapon fighting for swords bard fighting style, archery for fighter fighting style* Stat wise: Str 8 base/27 with potion (use hill giant str potion to boost to 21/27) Dex 17 base/20 at lvl 12 (+1 hag hair, +2 from asi) Con 14 Int 8 Wis 10 Cha 16 (you can add +2 from mirror of loss to make it 18 but I lazy, plus I hate Shar LOL) Feat - 1st: sharpshooter/ 2nd: asi +2 dex Main spells to take: Confusion, Hold person, Hold monster, hypnotized, plant growth (the rest you can pick to your likings but these are bread and butter) at level 10 swords bard, you can pick 2 magical secrets. Pick counterspell and 1 more spell of your choice (I pick command cause it doesn't use concentration and can upcast to target more than 1 enemy) Important gear: melee weapon 1: rhapsody melee weapon 2: bloodthirst (can use knife of the undermountain king act2 creche vendor before you get this from orin) ranged weapon: gontr mael (I just like this longbow lol, you an use The Dead Shot for better critical and easier to get, act 2 vendor - fitz(?) karlach's friend in front of the wizard tower) *for levelling, use titanstring bow till act 3* buff your bow with Drakethroat Glaive - can drop your bow on ground and use the weapon ability on it** head: helmet of arcane acuity (act 2 in a chest at mason's area) cape: cloak of displacement (any cloak is fine!) chest: elegant studded leather (can use armour of agility as well) glove: bonespike gloves (can use legacy of the masters from dammon act 3) boots: boots of persistance necklace: amulet of devout ring: band of mystic scoundrel (from circus' djinni's jungle trap. allows you to cast illusion or enchantment spells as bonus action) ring: risky ring (act 2 drow vendor at moonrise tower I think?) So the idea is, you shoot first with your bow to build up arcane acuity, then use your control spells afterwards to control the battlefield. It's almost a guaranteed hit with arcane acuity build up from the helm especially with arrow of many targets/ranged slashing flourish used before hand which means enemies can rarely resist them making them easier target for your party members..

Thank you! The pain is what makes clearing it feels good. I like this boss more than 2nd one XD

I actually enjoy Darkzone a lot and probably one of my favourite part of the game lol it's challenging but not impossible to clear (I'd say the first void puppet is the hardest for me in dz). It is hard to see the hand tile when a lot of stuffs goin on especially on phone so knowing the timing of the hand spawn (2 spawns back to back before a line aoe up top) and a pause here and there will help. The aoe line is the reason I place my sinners like in the vid (and pre move some down) so you don't need to move too many sinners (similar to lvl 40+++ toa boss)

nice! great work! sometimes it just take a lil bit of tinkering and trial & error to push through more points

Nyrulna does some thunder splash/aoe damage when you throw it. So when there's an ally near the target or Karlach herself, I switch to dwarven thrower for a single target throwing weapon to avoid damaging the allies or herself. Berserker throw is fun! Grats! Act 1 is probably the hardest in honor mode. Now onwards to act2 \o/

Ahh I see, that makes sense. I'll plan to use dwarven thrower in those situations as well. Cheers!

I have a video of Sarevok fight as well 😊

Haha he is tanky! And yes u need him to drink from his barrel few times till he drank too much and the numb will to away. I didn't even know he can follow outside xD beating him through talking is entertaining also lmao

it's s5, but s1 should be doable. the sinners skill/passives level are more important

should be able to. I tried without shalom buff in previous tries and it was close to 240k, just need a bit more micro management

​@WheatAx what's the shackles of everyone

​@@hunterhinkeldey4841 s5 - shalom, luvia; s4 - eirene, s3 - hecate, s0 - serpent, hamel. Shackles shouldn't matter that much since it's possible to hit 240k even with s0/s1. Your sinners skill/passive lvl is more important aside ecb. If not enough dps to burst boss, consider using support/buffer unit (owo/enfer/raven/cabernet/mr fox/chameleon) to buff 1 heavy hitter. Can check Last Core's videos on yt for more teams/buffs comp to try

Eirene 90 - ecb 3 - 8101010 - embrace set Shalom 90 - ecb 3 - 10101010 - tuning/inversion Serpent 81 - ecb1 - 9999 - embrace set Hamel 81 - ecb1 - 7766 - justice/prologue iii Hecate 81 - ecb1 - 5658 - depth of restricted area/hope/creation Luvia Ray 81 - ecb1 - 10898 - embrace set

No worries! It's ok I'm also struggling 2nd boss XD

That's great! I don't have Eve since I'm saving for future sinners. Glad it help!

any damage dealer (luvia ray, joan etc etc) and a healer should be ok

I'll link some of the builds from other youtubers that is similar to what I use Shadowheart (Light Cleric Reverberation) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nb7RdotM2TM.html Karlach (Tavern Brawler Barbarian Throw) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ICwwAJ6Dv_0.html Astarion (Tavern Brawler Open Hand Monk) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nNOWTLggypc.html For my Tav: 10 swords bard/2 fighter (two weapon fighting/archery for fighting style) -> level 6 bard 1st for extra attack in act 1, then respec fighter 1st as lvl 1 for better Con save then 6 bard after reaching lvl 7 Stat wise: Str 8 base (27 with potion)/Dex 20 (+1 hag hair, +2 asi)/ Con 14/ Int 8/ Wis 10/ Cha 16 Feat - 1st: sharpshooter/ 2nd: asi +2 dex Main spells to take: Confusion, Hold person, Hold monster, Hypnotized, Plant growth (the rest you can pick to your likings) At level 10 swords bard - pick Counterspell and Command for magical secrets (Command doesn't require concentration and allows you to target multiple enemies by upcasting it) Gear: Melee - Rhapsody+Bloodthirst (use Knife of Undermountain King and Cold Snap before you get these two) ranged - Gontr Mael (use Dead Shot or Titanstring bow as alt) head - helmet of arcane acuity cape - cloak of displacement (any is fine) chest - elegant studded leather (bhaalist armor is better/armor of agility is good too) glove - bonespike gloves (if have bhaalist armor, use legacy of the masters/craterflesh glove) boots - boots of persistance necklace - amulet of devout ring - band of mystic scoundrel, risky ring Shoot shoot to build arcane acuity (arrow of many targets is your friend) and then control the battlefield with your crowd control spells. High arcane acuity makes it harder for them to resist it. Use slashing flourish to burst down high priority target. Hope that helps ^^

I started a new run for this and they are really fun to use in fights. Thank you for sharing it!

@@Iron__Paladin aye no worries. They are! probably might fav builds so far. Enjoy your run!

@@WheatAx Thanks a lot for answer, great build. And yeah, all my homies hate Shar.

I feel like this is his revenge for all the players that kept pushing him off ledge in Tactician XD the vampire swarm attack HIT SO DAMN HARD, if I didn't have feast+upcasted aid, I probably got one shotted. Grats on your clear! omg I can relate cause I nearly wiped on non bosses LOL like the gith patrol, pathway to orin trial. I haven't seen Gortash new ability cause I kept stunning him. Gonna try see it next HM playthrough!

@@WheatAx wow I wasn’t expecting such a detailed response , thank you so much. My boy and I are at the end of act two and about to free Aylin before we go deal with kethy poo. My plan for act 3 is to do the ol teleport and toss to gortash and then I’ll see about sneaking to orin. Probably gonna watch your video because I’m not dealing with that ambush. I’m a paladin oathbreaker pact of blades warlock. My boy is an ice wizard with shadow heart as a gloom assassin and my other friend is afk a lot but he’s a tempest cleric. So plan is to sneak/ use invisibility to cheese act three and high hall to the bbeg then throw everything we have at her from behind a globe of invulnerability. Probably gonna go steal the rune bomb from the deep gnomes. The reason I was asking you was because I haven’t played bard yet and it looks so fun playing bow style and your playthrough made me curious, especially how you bullied myrkul. Also monk looks like a silly goose broken build and can’t wait to do that too. I saw you did that to wyll. I haven’t used him as a companion yet.

@@WheatAx Also, I saw you have that brand the weak item. I hope I still have it if I didn’t already get it.

@@vincentmorrell1682 no worries! Always nice seeing more bg3 players enjoying the game. Aww that's sweet of you to play with him. Haha yeeting Gortash off ledge is always good. I should try that sometimes! I actually nearly died in the ambush there to Orin earlier so had to improvised. Paladin warlock is fun! I used to play paladin/sorc a lot before I fell in love with swords bard (my fav is dual wield melee swbard+2paladin and archery swbard+2fighter). Go for it! I hope you clear it soon together! I never tried explosives much, it's something on my to do list haha. I was more of a melee player before, but there's something about slashing flourish with bard that just makes it fun. Open hand tavern brawl+rogue thief is broken but fun XD just go ham punch punch. Give it a try!

@@WheatAx Will do! I’ll keep enjoying and supporting your content, have a great night/day.

haha she tries her best ;; I am that 1 scruffy derpy player XD

After the numb buff (requires him to drink from his barrel few times otherwise he's immune to most physical type attack to remove it) from Thisobald is gone; Ranged slashing flourish from swords bard (2x attack if used on same enemy) with Titanstring Bow (adds str to damage modifier which is supplement by Giant Hill Str Potion) + 2 acid damage from Caustic band and 1d4 thunder damage added to the bow with Drakethroat Glaive ability Draconic Elemental Weapon (you can drop your choice of weapon on ground and buff it with this glaive's ability - can get from Roah at Moonrise Tower) on top of Shadowheart's Phalar Aluve shriek damage buff (extra thunder damage) added to enemies within her range

This game has so much depths, I love it so much as well. Was like 300hrs in before and stumbled upon new area or encounter I never seen before in previous playthrough

I love longbow's crit XD

definitely try for it. she is a good deren replacer. s1 is best if can but s0 also works. you can check her kit here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pgorcADSwYc.html

yay grats! That's still good. Lifeloss team is my fav comp in ptn
