[1.1.9.0] Beginner's Apex Death Knight

Im having trouble with killing the last boss of AoM Master of Flesh.Playing on Elite difficulty, I got his 1st and 2nd phase down but the 3rd phase is the one im having trouble with ! he also have this 1 attack that 1shot me. i have an album of my gear+stats if someone can tell me maybe if i need to swap/farm items before. I DONT HAVE A RELIC cause so far neither Gulie and Sanctuary didnt dropped for me…

Don’t need an album, just upload your character into grimtools build calc and then copy/paste the link here.

To upload your character to Grim Dawn Build Calculator click the ‘up arrow’ button in the upper-lefthand corner. If you have cloud saves enabled (enabled by default) your save file will be in \Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata########\219990\remote\save\main_{character name}\player.gdc

Otherwise it will be in \My Documents\My Games\Grim Dawn\save\main_{character name}\player.gdc

Then click on the icon below the arrow and copy the link shown to paste here.

  1. It’s an aether damage boss, you have 20% aether resistance. Why it’s a surprise that it’s difficult? Also, I hope you’re not trying to take that oneshot attack head on because it hits like a truck even with capped resistance. Bait it out, dodge and then go in.
  2. Your gear has much room for improvement. In some slots it’s clear you’re keeping an item just because it’s blue / purple, while it’s not actually that good.
  3. If you’re undergeared (like not having relic) then you farm. It’s that kind of the game. Normally one doesn’t have to farm that much pre-endgame, but seems like you’ve been rushing content quite a bit.
  4. You forgot to activate Oleron’s Rage when you were taking screenshot? Otherwise how you can have only 1.5k OA is beyond me.

Ya im sorry,im a real newbie and new in general to this genre , was quite a bit overwhelmed but its getting better ! Ive fixed my resistances,it can still improve,i just struggle find better/replace items while leveling/farming for more endgame stuff like the weapon and all the accessories . currently level 90 and trying to grind reputation,while trying to improve some of my gear so it will work when ill go Ultimate. At what point do u say to change to Blade Arc? assuming at level 94 cause thats when the Krieg set can be equipped?

It’s 90+. Krieg set is technically unrelated, you can even keep playing with Forcewave while running Krieg Set, just gonna need another belt to convert aether (Stoneplate Waistguard, that aether conversion on it wasn’t a thing back when I made the guide).

The condition to switch is actually getting a good enough Celestial Halberd. The location it drops in is quite a detour, so I’m not switching before 90, even though it’s possible.

So should I absolutley try to find a really good Halberd then? not like half-decent/decent. like something really good before I make the swap?

Something like Superior of Alacrity should be quite easy to get your hands on. I wouldn’t settle on anything worse than that.

Oooh,think ive catched one of these then…do u mind if ill take a snap at my current setup,i did worked on it for abit…
EDIT Death Knight, Level 90 (GD 1.1.9.7) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
on game its all on 80% resistances,and i have 2400 OA with buffs on,

A bit of topic here but what helmet is he using for the illusion? Looks nice.

Some faction gear from Order of Death’s Vigil.

Sorry if I missed it, or misunderstood something, but I have a question. In the guide farming Krieg set starts at 75+, but on GD wiki it says that these items drop only after the 94th level which would make farming them at an earlier level impossible. Did something change, or is info in the wiki just wrong?
Also, would it make it more likely to drop if I switch to Ultimate?

Thank you!
I was hoping that was the case :slightly_smiling_face:
Also, congrats on getting the set!

big thanks SOLVED

Hi all, Im totally new to Grim Dawn and arpg’s in general and have run this build and are now 35 but what I dont get in the devotion part. For example the build wants me to put a my fifth devotion point in Dire Bear and link it to Forcewave but I’m not able to do that and it looks like I must have more points on the board first or am I doing somthing wrong? Thx.

What was the case?

Those are the order in which you fill out the constellations. So 1 you would do purple in crossroads. Then completely fill hammer. Then crossroads blue. Than completely fill eel, ect

Is it suitable as the first character in version 1.2?
