So I understand all of Ihlakhizan's attacks. Problem is that he just keeps murdering me. Specifically, the acid attack routinely damages me for 600+.

 

What is the effective way to kill him or at least to dodge the Acid AoE?

[Ardzik]

Use best food u can get, healing familar, and pots combat one and restore cause he drain stats quick, prayer is also advisable. Just dont hurry ;)

Lure him into his own acid if you can to reduce his defence.

Erm.. that would be Bal'Lak, Kirby. I otherwise don't have a clue, but I hear you can solo him (a five-man shadowforger that is) by gatestoneing out after each attack...

Oops, my bad. I never bothered learning all of the boss's names :shock: All I know is what they look like and what they do :roll:

Shadow forger is supposed to hit you crazy hard, his acid and tentacles are both unavoidable. (I heard there's one safe square due to AI issues but you can't attack him from it anyway.) Spam food and hit him hard in return, as his defense is actually quite low. His difficulty is usually such that a team will go through most of an inventory of food each before he goes down.

Try switching between melee prot and mage prot. Some people say it's easier not to get KO'ed on melee prot.. for the most part I agree. Melee protects you from the bouncing attack and mage (i think) protects you from the splashes)

 

Also, safe up. Whenever you get hit below 700 HP eat. Don't walk behind the column (other than for specs obviously) cause you still get hit by it

 

He dies pretty quickly if everyone has strongs and turm.

Just eat behind pillars. I never ever died at that boss anymore since i started doing so. Full invo of food + BOB and voila.

I'm not sure what you're doing, but if you stay behind the pillars and the thing isn't charging up an explosion, little shadow hands hit you for consistent 200+, which ruins the idea of going behind the pillar to eat.

I think he's talking about this:

While fighting Shadow forger Ihlakhizan, make sure you have a good stab weapon, such as a spear. Also, pray protect/deflect melee, as the spinning attack is the ONLY attack that can be prayed against.
