New boss on Raven Cove. .

[Raven Trueheart]

Yea this dude is very tough... The El Patron Lost Sword was useless...I used Bitter End and kept using freeze, had one person healing me (the two of us are level 50) ......we took him down a couple times but it also took about 10 mins each time! He did not drop a thing, but hopefully this is a glitch of some sort and he will be dropping some good stuff soon. His laugh is just like El Patron's. Creepy!

Good to know. I used it solo against El Patron himself to the end result with great satisfaction. Now the Bitter End I was rewarded for said battle will give me an edge on this new baddie!

[SEAKING23]

I have the dark mutineer, witch is better `than the lost sword. 85 attack, and dark form, witch its a break attack. it turns me into a ghost, plus it has voodoo drain. I still probably wont be able to solo him.

[Captain Celtics]

Is he still lootless?

[Roger Sharkshot]

yep Celts you know with the loot economy down fall and all he he he

[Machazzard]

Best way that I found to take him down easily is to go about it in a tradtional mmo way. A group of at least 4 or 5. 2 people fight him at close range, 1 person shoots him or blasts him with the staff, and 2 people heal and do voodoo damage. But, make sure that each healer has the other healer attuned in case the boss tries to run at him/her.

I was, however, able to duo him with a friend of mine. It was no easy task and took like a half an hour. We both used voodoo dolls and ran around in circles damaging him, healing each other along the way.

I love this boss! So fun and challenging. Can't wait for him to actually start dropping some loot!

[Stephen O'Malley]

I hope that when he does start actually dropping loot, he drops things like Darkhart does (including cursed weapons). I will be very sad if he's just like a Rage Ghost, in that he drops one thing and one thing only..

[Pirate Guy]

Way to hard abassa couldn't even kill it.

[SEAKING23]

Maybe that one thing would be a legendary.

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Goodness. I was on Andaba with at least four or five other people, including some of my guild. He's really powerful, but there has got to be some weakness he has... Here's what I've noticed though. His attacks do double to triple the damage a normal level 50 enemy would do. This makes it really difficult to fight him, because his attacks will almost always hit. He uses dagger, so you cant run around him with a doll so that he can't hit you like you would do with a sword user. He can still throw knives at you. However, here is one thing I noticed as well. If you are fighting in a large group, he seems to switch targets fairly often. This is good because while one person is being attacked, the other is healing. See what I mean?

I'll see if I can figure out some more stuff about our good friend Mr. Smasho...

[ruisen2000]

I wouldn't really say he deals more damage, a level 50 thrall was able to deal as much damage as him, but it's harder to notice because 1. most thralls are not 50, only a fraction of them are, 2. thralls die in 1 shot of blunderbuss, often before then can even attack you.

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Nay, he does more damage. A level 50 Thrall can't take away a quarter of my health in one attack, unless its bladestorm.

[Dog Firestack]

An eviscerate from that dude is about taking half of my health out. And I'm level 50!

[Ancient Mariner]

It is a welcome addition to have a foe that is as tough as smasho but I really do hope and think we should be rewarded with a loot drop after bringing him down.

[Roger Sharkshot]

i think if we kill him we should always get a chest or a skull with a rare atleast
