### Drops --- 20% chance to drop any piece of the Chain Set. Multiple dropping at once is possible. ### Attacks --- - Swipe - Straight forward charging poke - 360 chain boulder swing - Overhead boulder slam ### Strategy --- #### Melee --- - Try using a fast weapon if you don't have a lot of stamina - Try using a heavy weapon held with 2 hands and you won't suffer knockback. - Mind your stamina: you will need a lot to block some of his attacks. - He's vulnerable to strike type attacks, so hammers will work. A good choice is Dragon Bone Fist because it's both fast and has a strike attack. - Since you will encounter him in a great hall, there is plenty of room for you to roll around to avoid his devastating stone attacks. #### Magic --- - For a chained prisoner, he moves very fast. Best magic to deal with him would be Great Combustion or Wrath of the Gods, if you have enough to kill him. - If you have Homing Crystal Soulmass and Crystal Soul Spear, charge up your soulmass first, then nuke him to death with your spears. The soulmass serves as a stun mechanism in case he gets too close to you, but also deals a fair bit of damage. #### Cheap poison arrows --- - Stand close to the elevator - If you have a good bow and equip Hawk Ring, your poison arrows will hit him - It takes about five arrows to poison him - Let the poison do its job until it wear off - Hit him again with five more shots of poison arrows - Repeat until he dies. It will be a while. But it will be safe. #### Non-confrontational Strategy --- Required: Ring of Fog, Slumbering Dragoncrest ring, and fast roll (mid-roll acceptable). - Get close enough to the chained prisoner to aggro him and lure him a short distance outside room he is contained in. - Run back around him once he forgets about you towards the elevator shortcut but, do not activate it unless you want to deal with two enemies. - Stay hidden in the passage to the elevator until he goes back to his post, facing away. - Activate the shortcut and be glad he can't hear you.
