<Immortal Throne> Hard bosses and how to defeat them

[Wyvern]

WHY won't you answer me?

[Wyvern]

I need help with the Graeae. They heal themselves and I sometimes get stuck. If the room was bigger I could dodge easily. Do U have any more tips to battle them?

They're definitely not. I tested this with 100%+ Vitality resist against some Limos. They were sucking air and nothing else

Liche Queen is a side quest in an out of the way place. I see nothing in the quest description or anything else that would even imply that she's a requirement for advancing the story.

The rewards may be well worth it thougn.

Look in a thread under "Immortal Throne Spoilers": There's a whole thread about that damn pretty spider queen. And people there even call her the hardest in game! LOL

Charon

First off, do not stand on the places where the bridge has gaps in it. He will call the river to rise below you and kill you instantly. Other than that, he throws water blobs at you for 2,000 damage each (@ 0 [cold I think] resist) and can also summon 2 shades to help him fight. After you kill him the first time, he transforms and flies up. He gets a special move where he power-smacks you with his oar and does 4,000+ damage each as well as interrupt you for 1 second. This move is AoE so it's best to run away from him. Don't worry, it's very slow.

Charon also casts a wall of water at you that deals 3,000+ frost damage. He only does this at range.

Just run up to him and keep hitting him, stay clear from the gaps in the bridge. Use potions to heal away the water blobs. When he transforms, watch out when he raises his oar; he's about to power smack you and it may hurt, so run away (not around, as it's AoE).

About Charon: First time I meet him(legendary, with TQ-char) I didn't even see the water comming up through the bridge - I simple killed him before he used that skill.
If you really have a hard time with him, I suggest you use some "x%dmg to undead"-items.
I can recommend one of my favorite rings Phantom Bane. Its gives 70% damage to undead(and demons) + some energy leech. Upon that I used the White-somthing armor with 60% dmg to undead. These left me no problem with charon or Undead Typhon
OT: Phantom Bane is pretty nice throughout Hades due to all the Undead and Demons

The Graeae are the Gray Sisters, not the Albino Spider Queen.

Has anyone actually had problems with Hades himself? I took my 40th level Templar in there (Normal), with a Scroll of Frenzy, and cleaned his clock, he never got me below 75% health. Of course that's a character with Defender as one of his masteries . . . . still, I think this guy needs some toughening up, get him to at least Typhon level of peril.

[pilch]

lol, I wouldn't expect any boss on normal to trouble a level 40 character... try him on legendary and see if you still think he's a piece of cake
