One way to kill Batraal (Dzemael Darkhold)

[KingZeus]

Hello. Here is one kill strategy. It works for us and we've killed quite a few times so far
Hope it helps some with strategy.

Here is another image i just took that shows the safe spots and where the tank goes

First phase, 3 skeletons and Batraal.

Second phase (<80% HP), 2 skeletons and ghosts around Batraal. This is when tank starts to move Batraal around to avoid ghosts. The skeleton party should use the Sword Terminal to disable the Batraal's glowing sword.

Third phase (<40% HP), 3 skeletons. This is when Batraal starts doing his directional laser beam type ability. It's wide area directional so the south west and north east side from the kite line is the safe for mages and archers/dps to attack.

Nice fight SF.

Any idea what the west terminal does? Seems to me it is nothing but a distraction.

[Corrderio]

Can you give any info on what weaponskills Batraal can use?

[Duuude007]

West terminal stuns the Ahrimans temporarily. It is not necessary to be used, with enough practice.

what du3de said above

the smallest terminal on the north west part stops the eyes from moving for maybe a minute. however, it is pointless to use it since you take the boss battle to the south, and take the skeleton battle out of the area they roam in.

but they do fly right up to the Defense down terminal and you might get unlucky and get stunned for a bit. so just watch for that

so just ignore that terminal altogether.
