You're an alchemist... Frozen Blast + Snake or Spear of Light/God... Also if the blinkers are in a group... just shock the middle one so it stuns the ones around them then try to frozen blast the middle one along with many others...

Solo is very difficult. I could barely do int solo. I managed it by spamming a hell of a lot of pots. I couldn't imagine soloing that in Hard/Elite.

With a group, it's not too bad. Group I can manage :D

Having a good archer in your party helps tons with blinkers.

edit: You can also use evasion to avoid the Beholder Beam apparently.

Barrier spikes can also help to avoid the beam. Hide behind one and use golems.

Oh, I thought it was just you as they were all aggroed on you. That's how it sounded to me.

If it's a party, unless it's a bunch of nibs, you shouldn't have a problem with them all aggroed on you as they should be helping you take down the blinkers.

That's what I usually do anyways.

Blinkers First, Freaky Ghost Dude on Horse Second >.>

I usually just smash the hell out of the Blinkers while I have mana Shield on and spam pots if I'm in trouble.

Also mixing in demi god skills as well.

That room is easy.

Blinkers can't attack you through barrier spikes. Use a crystal reindeer to sneak off to a corner of the room, far away from the boss. Lay down a single set of barrier spikes and take out the blinkers using long-ranged attacks. If you're too close to Dullahan, he'll agro you and OHKO your barrier spikes.

Focus exclusively on the blinkers. Shock will keep Blinkers from attacking you provided that they are within range before they use beholder beam. Frozen Blast can freeze one or two long enough to dispatch them. Water Cannon and Flame Burst work decently.

Fireball might potentially wipe all of them out. Ice Spear/Hail Storm can dispatch them quickly but the range is pathetic and won't work well in the boss room. Thunder is a poor choice as they'll avoid the thunderbolt barrage after the initial lightning bolt makes contact. Chaincast firebolt and ice/fire can dispatch them quickly.

Ranged attacks are your best bet, especially when combined with Alchemy. This is especially true because ranged attacks target blinkers in flight. Magnum Shot works best, though Crash Shot is a good option if they sound off their Beholder Alarm. Poison works great in this fight.

Melee attacks leave you vulnerable to attacks from other blinkers and are not recommended. Full Swing can be considered an exception, provided you can OHKO most of the room.

The boss is easy to kill when its alone. Let it hit you with throw axe (knocking you into deadly), use a single HP10/HP30 to bring yourself to minimal health and active mana shield.

If caught by beholder beam from a single blinker, spam health potions. If caught by a group of blinkers, you're probably screwed.

Barrier Spikes -> Lure Blinkers with pet swipe -> Ranged

That way, if Dullahan aggros, you can cancel his aggro by desummoning your pet.

Dullahan is easy, just camp him like there's no tomorrow.

Blinkers shouldn't be THAT much of a problem either, as they appear throughout the mission too.

WM Spam > Boss.

If you want Lulz. Either Shock the boss or the horse.
However shocking the horse causes dulluhan to surf. Surfin like a pro, dishing those axes like nothing.

Frozen blasting the blinkers ensures the blinker you freeze will die. Period.

My GoP elite runs take on average 30 minutes. However golems do not work for the boss as there's no such thing as deadly for golems. 1 axe = instant death.

For me I found that magnum shot-ing the boss while he's on mount makes him a total idiot. He'll run over an try to hump your character allowing you to spam 99% magnums very fast further locking him. If you magnum shot at the right time after his mount dies he will continue walking into your character helplessly until his dead mount vanishes at which he will summon a new mount and mount it restarting the cycle. He's honestly the easiest part of this mission for me...

For the blinkers sending out poison snakes to knock out around 70% of their hp first helps, they're really weak against poison. But pinging each of them a few times from behind barrier spikes works too, they'll all fly up to the barrier spikes unable to do anything and group up to let you crash shot spam them all at once. [Note: They sometimes shoot across the barrier spikes so it doesn't work all the time]

I go demi and just camp spear of light from a corner with ms on so they never really kill me unless i start off in deadly. Gotta love those 6k crits~

Ice Spear/Hail Storm can dispatch them quickly but the range is pathetic and won't work well in the boss room.

Rank 1 Hailstorm can hit them while outside their aggro rage, or so it seems.
I've never had a problem with using Hailstorm against them.

I use Ice Spear as a last resort, after they've aggro'd, if there are no barrier spikes set up.
