Well I have seen alot of posts giving strats to killing typhon . most mention killing the statues . . Am I missing something? .. or am I bugged? .. I get no attack cursor over any of the statues and Typhon seems to have all the abilities.. Tried to kill him for over 3 hours with no success .. He just kept owning me over and over and over again . . LOL.
Also, since I have cleared all the way to typhon now .. ( Just can't kill him ) Where is the best place to farm items?
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated

Depending on your build (which might be a good idea to post), you might try activating the shrines. If your melee, definitely go for the battle marker shrine (I think that's what it was called, the shrine that gave you like a huge attack speed increase and damage in crease) and then go wild on typhon. Be sure to avoid the fire breath though, you can tell when he's about to do that so just run from that and then step back in the ring.

Also, please be sure to add a (Spoiler) tag to any thread that deals with quest related subjects of a video game, I'll add it in this time for you, but please remember from now on.

In the newest patch you can't attack the statues anymore that is why you think you are bugged. The posts telling to destroy the statues are kind of...outdated

crazy typhoon

heh typhon
i must say, that 1.20patch is lil crapy
my corsair cant beat typhon on normal (cuz i didnt get sabertooth etc. with this guy, but all my wizz/brigand/thane got some....) and i was trying it long time - i wasnt taking any serious dmg and typhon was alltimes fully healed after my death and comeback to summit, so i dropped my corsair

but there is other side - my brigand killed typhon on epic with some trouble (2deaths, cuz lags etc, but np) - 3rd telkine died in 1minute or less on epic and wasnt taking any serious dmg from me
+ for brigand - i found most bosses easier ön epic than on normal (cuz my build is much more uber just now)

so i wanna say - TQ is killing melee chars easily, ranged/wizzs are really stronger and that sux +i was really pissed, when i had to stop playing my corsair, cuz he wasnt able to kill typhon after all.....

still cant catch point, why they did typhoon so strong - like perma meteors/fire breath/lightnings etc, its total hell for melee....in case that 1-2hits=death :speech:

Typhon isn't as hard as he looks at first. He's a lot harder now, but if you have enough defence, you won't have an impossible time. My brigand had quite a lot of trouble with Typhon in epic. He has great damage, but not so great defence. My conquerer on the other hand, handles him with ease.

It's not that much easier for caster. If anything, 1.20 made it harder for casters. But some bosses are easier melee, some easier casting. Typhon happens to be one of the second type.

Just hit, run around till the meteors drop, rince and repeat. You shouldn't have to back off that much, if your defence is ok.

I've heard a lotta downsides about patch 1.20, and that's about the only reason why I'm still using 1.15.

My conqueror doesn't have any trouble with typhon on epic, when I turn collossus and summon ancestors, I take down about 90% of his health before collossus form and ancestors dissappear, so that's like half a minute.
and the remaining 10% I kill off right after that, so typhon takes me about 2 minutes, he's easier then the way up there, I'die faster on the way up to the summit then on the summit itself

Downsides, sure. Ternion is way nerfed now. But given the fact how overpowered it was before, i'd say the game is more balanced.
And mainly refresh is balanced. Most people complaining about 1.20 were soothsayers. But outsider wasn't supposed to work like that with refresh...

Also: i used to be able to run normal Typhon in about 1 min 10 sec flat with my brigand. Just run straight up, call of the hunt, study prey, take down, lethal strike et voila.
Now, those limos-thingies slow, the minotaurs stun etc... it's, well, harder as much as it's better and makes more sense. Nobody wants a stupid easy boss, he has to be tough.

I suggest you give 1.2 a try, i don't think you'll see a lot of difference. And it's still good, though a bit more of a challenge with Typhon. But not as hard as it looks. God forbid you might even die... once.
