Dust town, Jarvia

Post by Edieb »

I just cannot kill Jarvia or her minions. I have tried all different combinations of my companions and cannot beat her. Any ideas? How has anyone else beaten her?

What companions are you using?

If you have mages, what spells do they have?

I've had difficulty with her before, but during my current solo mage playthrough I was able to kill her in two damage shots.

I paralyzed her instantly with Paralysis Explosion (Glyph of Paralysis and Glyph of Repulsion), then casting Death Cloud, Vulnerability Hex, Affliction and Death Hex on Jarvia, which activated the Entropic Death combination. After that, I was able to kill her with one Arcane Missle.

I'd also want to see what party do you have, at which ranks, and who's your main character.

Few tips - There are multiple traps in the chamber you're fighting in, do not advance too quickly.
Crowd Control aswell as damage have a huge chance of revealing the hidden assassins.
Knocking Jarvia out of stealth with aoe CC will help a great deal too! Blood wound, cone of cold, mind blast, fireball, war cry, two handed sweep.. etc etc. Use one of these whenever she goes to stealth.
..
well, that's about it, as i have no idea what your party is :)

If you have a mage use force field, glyph of paralysis, crushing prison etc on her while taking out her allies.

If you have a "ranger" rogue, use the pet(s) to draw out her allies and pull them a few of the time.

Set traps.

Gang all damage up on her allies and take them down one at the time, while keeping a tank (shield) on her with enough potions.

Remember to buff up your companions with potions and venom and what not if you can.

There are many strategies to use.
