Rakanoth is all about getting up close and personal, and remaining there, cleaving his enemies in two with his double blade arms. Thankfully, the large hordes of enemies he spawns tend to drop a lot of health orbs, so in the long run, Iskatu's probably one of the easier encounters of Act IV. Just try to avoid taking him head-on, if you can- kiting is your friend, in this fight. Bring with you a way to manage large groups of enemies, or a class that has a great deal of mobility, and you should do just fine, however.
This creature hits hard, though his main attacks consist of creating areas of corrupted ground (which will deal heavy damage to you) and summoning hordes of shadow creatures to attempt to overwhelm you. Obviously, your job's not done yet- there's one more act to go. Once Azmodan finally falls, return to the keep. If the battle draws out, you can use the demon spawners to your advantage, killing the demons and picking up the health orbs they drop. You want to hit him as hard as you can before he starts spawning the dark pools - ideally, you want to take him down as quickly as possible. How difficult this boss fight becomes depends entirely on how you approach it. As you fight him, areas of the arena will slowly be overtaken by slow-moving pools of black. His nastiest move, however, has to be the circles of dark energy that he creates on the battlefield. He'll summon slow-moving fireballs that hit like freight trains, drop cascades of corpses down from the roof to damage in an area, and summon portals that bring demons into the battlefield to fight alongside him. If there's one hint I can give for fighting Azmodan, it's this- Hit and run.
When I ran this boss for the second time, it was with my roommate, who mentioned that Azmodan's mechanics are a lot like the Professor Putricide battle from World of Warcraft. Hit her hard and fast, and she'll go down. Melee classes are going to want to get up close and personal, while ranged characters can simply fire away. She'll also ‘teleport' around the battlefield, using her webbing to pull herself up to the roof and dropping down elsewhere. Towards the end of the first battle, she'll flee from the battlefield and summon a small horde of succubi. She'll use webbing to try to slow your movement, fire out a cloud of poisonous energy that works similar to a plagued monster's attack, fire out a volley of explosive bolts of energy, and summon spiderlings. The battle is more or less the same in both cases. You actually fight Cydaea twice- once at the first heart, and then a second and final time at the second sin heart. Blind also works wonders against this big guy, since virtually all of his attacks are melee. Kite it if you're able, but keep a close eye out for its charge.Īgain, it can be stun locked and crowd controlled- use this to your advantage.
Its main attacks are a three punch combo (each of which knock back your character), a grab and throw which takes one character out of commission for a short while, a heavy damage charge, a ground pound…Suffice it to say, you don't want to stay too close to this thing for too long. The Siegebreaker is a heavy hitter, with a lot of hit points and armor- basically, it's a walking tank. Ranged characters are probably going to find him a hell of a lot easier than those who have to get into melee range. His other attacks are a low-damage flurry of punches and a high-damage bite attack. Occasionally, he'll vomit out a projectile which spawns a small group of slugs. For this reason, kiting him is probably a good idea unless you've got some pretty hefty gear and a metric ton of vitality. Ghom emanates a constant cloud of slowing, putrid poison.
