Turns out he kills himself by dropping tentacles...

So nevermind.

Usually when you see enemies like that, there is some special trick to them. There are at least 2 other enemies with similar kinds of resistance, both handled through special methods. When you see something like that, direct attack in ANY element is not the correct approach.

Having said that, I think he gets random 100% resists, due to the game attempting to upgrade his resists randomly and instead setting them to 100%. At least, I don't see why else that'd happen in the code. You can see two listed there, though.

So sometimes you can kill his weakpoint with resistance penetration backed attacks to it. Not very easy though!

Resistance penetration is another option. I had it at 100% for one of my archers :-).

Or you can be a solipsist and use distortion bolt, which explicitly "ignores resistance".

I fought that very same horror as a distortion focused solipsist once...the ability to directly blast him was a pleasant surprise.
