i guess I really lucked out ... when I got that quest I had the summit monk and his comrades standing beside the furnace guardians ... I came running up to the bridge ... 'wtf is that? ... cool ... new red dot ... lemme go smoke it' ... it came screaming across at me ... ME not stephan tom or anything ... me ... my first instinct was ... 'oh cool looking enemy ... I'm gonna take a screeny so I can use it as my new avatar on guru ... so i hit 1 screenshot ... notvery good cause he moved closer and I cut off part of him cause stephan jumped in between the camera and the djinn ... and my interface was on ... so I ctrl shift h ... try to get a nice angle ... try to take a nice picture (all while the henchies are fighting it) ... and bam ... it dropped dead ... no SS ... no new avatar for me ... I was pissed.

Lots of people having sucess with henches... Hmmm I wonder if this is due to the amount of enchants lina throws up. Enough cover enchants for prot spirit. If he doesn't deal enough damage he can't heal himself effectivley.

I want this for PVP.

Planning on using it in Ascalon Arena? lol, j/k

KvanCetre · Sep 08, 2005, 06:52 PM // 18:52

He was really easy for us...

Then again, he got trapped on a group of about 10 bone fiends...

Borealis · Sep 08, 2005, 07:09 PM // 19:09

I wasted this guy no more then 1/2 hour ago with only henchmen.

For those of you who do not yet know you have to fight 3 of them at once at the end of sorrows. You reach what I assume is the final golem boss. I say assume because we were unable to kill it. Its the giant one all the guys talk about around the zone, and its the one in all the screen shots. One of my guildies got a shot of it which I will post as soon as I get. The golem itself sits in a room with furnace guardians and these flame barrier things. You have to kill all 3 flame barrier's in a limited amount of time or they respawn. Wile you do this there are traps in the room which dump flames on you. Also one which drops a giant spike ball which insta kills the target. Once you get the barrier's down the golem dies and the 3 fire guys spawn. That's about the time our group got owned. There was no possible way for us to do it with the group we had. We are going to go back down tonight and finish it now that we know what we have to face.

Just a friendly heads up for yall

From what I've seen, Flourish just helps the Djinn to spam its attack faster. I spammed Diversion on the Djinn, but Div seems to have no effect on Consuming Flames. Div did take down Flourish, and the Djinn seemed to slow down its attacks. There might have been a lot of people around it too, but it seemed to be manageable.

Echo+Blackout - The Combo my Warrior/Mes packs, unfortunatly I fought him with with my mes/nec instead :/

Meteor Shower spam - It constantly interupts so that's good, only problem is that he seems to be resistant to fire.

Snares (Water Magic in particular) - since consuming is a touch attack... if he can't touch you...

Protection - Can work but you need cover enchants. Like put down Prot spirit and keep laying guardian over it everytime he uses a Consuming Flames.

Diversion doesn't work because its a skill not a spell, nice try tho hehe.

Echo + Blackout im not sure on because we didn't have one of these with us at the time. Perhaps someone else can elaborate on this idea.

Metor Shower Spam this works kinda, problem is metor does no damage to him and is to much energy to keep castin. Most likely you will be heavy dp. Especially when you fight the last 3 together.

Snares (Water Magic in particular) - since consuming is a touch attack... if he can't touch you...

Snares don't work because this guy flys and has a very strange agro range.

Protection - Can work but you need cover enchants. Like put down Prot spirit and keep laying guardian over it everytime he uses a Consuming Flames

Protection is a good idea but he uses flurry after every consume so its constantly removing enchants. Prot spirit works awesome as long as it stays on lol.

The best thing I have found is spamming heal party and using mantra of fire.

Well going for an eazy kill doesnt do much for you. Cause if your team cant take down one alone then no way you can take 3 at the same time lol.

Why not try and discuss options as a community then kills which shouldnt happen. I mean think about it. If the AI of the monster was good enough it would know not to go into the crushing machines.

Diversion - Energy: 10
Hex Spell. For 6 seconds, the next time target foe uses a skill, that skill takes an additional XX seconds to recharge. (Attrib: Domination Magic)
Diversion WOULD normally work, but for some reason it won't stop Flames. Perhaps some hidden attribute or skill of the Djinn's?

Dazzler · Sep 08, 2005, 07:58 PM // 19:58

Djinn uses Flourish. So if you Diversion his Flames, he just uses Flourish to recharge it instantly.

Shusky · Sep 08, 2005, 08:14 PM // 20:14

I found him while searching for ores. Rather traumatic.

(Yep, I got helplessly lost. I don't know how, exactly

)

You can't Arcane Thief it because it's a skill, and a monster skill at that. You'll never be able to get it no matter what.

Dazzler, I Div'ed its Flourish, then Div'ed its Flames. Yet somehow it kept on pouring the Flames out, yet not as fast as before with Flourish I think. I'll have to go back and try it again.

kleps · Sep 08, 2005, 08:34 PM // 20:34

we ended up beating him with the help of a bunch of siege ice golems. got rather lucky i guess.

i saw Djinn and i was hoping to see "i dream of jeanie" there.........that didnt happen

He's a sneaky bastard. He probably snuck a Flurry in there to soak up your Div and protect his Flames. I head someone mention he uses Flurry...though I don't know how they know that.

What about a healing ball?

Cluster everyone together very tightly, cast healing seed on the guy in the middle. The guys at the front body block the djin so he can't use his touch attack to remove seed, but the seed man still gets hit with damage to activate it. The damage from Consuming Flames gets spread out so he can't heal effectivley, and have your monks spam heal party or even better a ranger with healing spring.
