Deth'tilac: New and improved Strategy edit. June 03, 2011

Unread post by Parkour »

i'll let ya know ;)

Image

Old strategy (if ur really devoted u can do it this way but not really practical for live servers)
see below for the ezmode strat

edit #2 (June 04, 2011)
following some comments i tried to use a snake trap instead of sacrificing my pet over and over this morning when he was up (yes i need 3 of him right?)
Using a snake trap shot underneath him to pull him will cause him to kill the snakes until the duration of the snakes are over. When the trap disappears which will put him around 30mil hp or less. However after the first snake trap he will not target the snakes again as they hit for a tiny amount of dmg and will not aggro him enough for him to attack them.

Perhaps if he were rooted and there were snakes around him to attack it would work but I was unable to fully test this as another hunter was in the area and wanted to try to tame him. Opening with the spider trap will proly cut taming time down by 3 or so minutes which will end up being a 5 or so minute tame using the snake trap opener and then sacrificing your pet.

- currently waiting to try a modified method of this

edit:
after a few attempts totalling around 2-3 hours
i disengauged off the side of the island once about 16 minutes in ;)
I normally play as beast mastery but i switched to marks just cause my pet didnt seem to be doing much dmg

40 or so minutes later i didnt start the timer on my last attempt because it was bothering me how long it was taking
Image

i think i have carpal tunnel now
Image


Strat #2 now i has 2 blue/purply spiders
Image

The idea of this strategy is based off of his ability:
Deth Strike - Melee Range - 2 sec cast
Deth'tilac strikes an enemy, instantly killing them. This attack cannot be dodged, blocked, or parried. Costs Deth'tilac 10% of maximum health.

I went and tamed a common yellow spider nearby and was going to sacrifice it over and over to reduce the hp of Deth;tilac. The hard part with this strategy is leaving yourself enough space between you and Deth to squeeze in a nearly 10 second cast time. I found that using the nearby spiders they were able to web Deth and then die leaving their web on him for a couple seconds this gave me time to conc shot and lay a frost trap down in between myself and Deth and then get far enough away to be able to res my pet.
Image

rinse and repeat this strat until his hp is low
Image

I ressed my pet and then abandoned it here I didnt try to tame with a dead pet so u might have to do one more kite path thing to be able to tame him
Image

near the end some lovely warrior came over and attacked deth which is why there is a white box over something
Image

doing this strategy takes around 8-9 minutes total.

...DAMN. I've never been a spider person (arachnophobe irl) and I didn't think I'd want him if he would be a spider but DAMN. I'm probably going to get this bad boy, come hell or high water.

It's going to be fun.

Darn you, now I wanna tame him and name him after some sort of purple Pokemon! XD (Most likely a Ghost type, seeing as I adore them. Hmm.. Sableye maybe? Or.. One of Litwick's evolution line! Whee! *Cackles*)

I want to see people have to weave between craters to find the beasts, or requiring to chase the beast through a maze, or even having to kite it around until it became tamable(Making it unkillable after being made tamable would be a plus)... Anything like that would be real fun IMO, but simply taking off your armor, or flying high enough to attack it, meh.
I'm either psychic, or Noah somehow read that and put it in...

This was quoted from the first topic on these 8 beasts. And I must say, I'm impressed with the spider trick tames far more than the spirit beasts.

Also edited in this color to show my somewhat accurate prediction of another of the tames, Magrie

I think I gained the 'inner eye' overnight... or it's just coincidence that I wanted something and then it popped up... xD

Over 38 million hitpoints and an insta-kill ability. Unless this guy takes excessive damage or something, you're going to need a small raid to tame him.
