Demitels.

Might we nerf them so that 1-2 people can safely do them? As it stand you need about 100% of the shard(thats online) Just to die to one about 20 times.

They were meant to be really hard, and their arties hard to get, but some of those arties are very rewarding. They've all been soloed at one point or time, takes patience, lots of it.

Aye, soloed in their current form? I guess I can see the Blood one and black hole, but the others I cannot see how.

I deffinately see where you are coming from, it is just disheartening due to the rather small amount of online players at a given time. The community is deffinately active, just there are few on at the same point in time. This makes doing one actually very difficult I think. Of my two weeks here this is the first time Ive actually done Demitels successfully.

Just my two cents as a new player to the shard.

Yeah I understand. Though my plans are for the shard to be much bigger, its just very hard to advertise a shard so it takes a while.

All of the demitels can be soloed in their current form. It just takes an uber suit, a creative plan, patience and a bunch of deaths for some of them.

Demitels are the hardest bosses in the game because they drop the nicest stuff. The fact that they are freely spawned (No quest needed) is a bonus but it comes at the price of difficulty. You can probably round up a group of people to go do a certain demitel by doing a public chat. There's really no harm in doing so as you're not really there to loot the corpse anyways, you're there for the artifact chance. They also generally go down quicker with more people (Few exceptions to that such as the blood beast who tends to summon more blood elementals the more people are fighting).

For pretty much any boss, you should expect to die at least 1 - 3 times unless you've had a lot of practice and know a very good strategy.

well their items arent that rewarding, take example the ele lord... yes maybe not demitel but sure as hell as hard or harder, the bow he drops, salamandos soul that is, you can get better bows from monsters there isnt really anyhingt unique in it. (most arties got something you cant get in any other way in them, it does not)

I solo'd a paragon blood beast back when it spawned in illsh. Even have the chest to prove it. Most of them can be killed with the right taly and the longshot bow. Mind you, it will take ages, but it can be done safely.

Likewise, he also drops the void. Some items are better than others (Just like the gauntlet).

key notes with blood beast. He's not hard, he's just got 1000000 hp.....

Sure it should, alone. Congratulations on soloing it tho. I haven't even done that one.

should have tried the paragon variety. luckily I had a demon slayer taly and could switch from elegance to longshot to horselord with 1 button.

I've soloed the para blood beast a couple of times. It was just time consuming. Slayers and SDI ftw. I think I even have a chest from him as well.
