How to kill the runed bone giant in the tower of telos ruin

#1 Post by bossonova »

I just got back from the east and in order to build a portal back there tennon wants a book from this ruined tower. The level is called ruins of telmor. There are also dreads on this level and everyone is around level 40, my dwarf cursed is around level 40 as well. The dreads and the runed bone giant all regenerate their health everytime i get them down to about half way. Impossible to beat and i will not resort to stair scumming as it probably won't work anyway. so how do i kill these mofos??? is there a pattern or something else i don't see??? on how overpowered they are it could be a bug but cannot accept it or deny it without confirmation. please advise... :x

While I cannot directly advise you on this (don't know squat about the cursed), I'd suggest you include some information about your character (a link to the vault would be best, probably). Its really hard to give advice without knowing what skills and items you have.

Yooooouuuu... have a base accuracy of 17 at level 42.

So. I can go ahead and tell you the primary reason you're having trouble killing things -- a cursed with your offensive stats (outside of accuracy because how the blazes have you survived this long with it that low!? E: Wait, exploration mode and sweet mother of Zeus that death count. You haven't been :?) should be dropping runed bone giants in 3-4 turns -- is because you're just not bloody hitting them. I'd guess you've been relying on stalk, but... I'm pretty sure you need a slightly higher base by this point in the game. Just... just get some accuracy. Your damage is fine. Especially when rampage... is...

Ah. You also don't have rampage. That... can't do anything about it now. Well, your damage is still fine, you just need some accuracy really, really badly. Get some. Swap in some +acc kit, shuffle some points into the generic accuracy talent. If you can get it up to a base 30 or 40 (preferably 50+, if you can manage that without too much trouble), I imagine you're going to notice your general damage throughput massively increasing. Because you're actually hitting things.

yeah it's my first time playing, LOL. this is just a tester game for me anyways. Its probably too late for me to increase acc. or anything else for that matter. I will just start another cursed dwarf and keep in mind what you have said. thanks man for helping me out.
