Low fund marksman killed hard gollux

I still cannot believe it but I KILLED HARD GOLLUX <3. 120-140k damage range selfbuffed with all ra set 100% spell traced, a clean tyrant cape and some random 6%dex slap together. I made a lot of mistakes but finally after 25' I took it down with only 1 death count left and 4 mobs count on my head
Looking back I think I screwed up badly when the jaw is gone. I don't know what to do so I just brute force it thru >~< Any suggestion what can I do to clear mobs under safety without 1-hitted by his gollux roar? I tried to set arrow illusion but it only buy sometime for me (it's not strong enough to kill mobs)

Well I manage somehow complete no death gollux run today. Cost me 2 days failed to figure it out the eyes attack pattern and mobs control.
I'll record my run and post it later, it's not hard to learn as I think
With daily gollux potions it's 20' run now. I guess it's not too bad for a bottom dpm class, right?

@Avatar ew I never let mobs run into abomen so I don't know but is that the same 1hit atk from the head when the mobs count reach 5? My fight with abomen is never longer than 10sec.
The only way to avoid the attack looks like the screen shatters is prevent it happens by kill mobs before they touch the middle. It is instant kill and unavoidable like arky super nova attack

[quote=AhnZap]@Avatar there is icon on the ground before it roots you in place, and the stone glows which side dark powder thing gonna hit so you can avoid if you pay attention. I don't think abomen is a problem since it doesnt have much hp and nothing can 1shot you (break free from the root by slam left and right keys, if 30sec potion lock is on you can leave the room, heal and go back in i think). If your damage range is too low that can't even kill abomen you should get some high level gears (clean one is fine) and try again.[/quote]

What about that attack where the screen looks like it shatters?

Today I success hard gollux again. 2 potions that you can buy from gollux shop really help, my run was shorten to 20'. The jaw part is pretty easy, I can kill it in 17'. I still don't know how to avoid death when fighting the eyes, played around and got 2 slap to my face. I think it only cost me 2-3 death if I just put arrow down to buy time and focus on the eyes, so I'm sure now I can solo it daily. Daily gollux scroll service plox
Another question: Does hard mode drop reinforced items? I only get cracked one >.>

Wow I can't even kill the abdomen because it keeps binding me and then one hits me. Just wondering do the mobs have anything to do with the frequency of ohko attacks because I just ignore the mobs?

Gollux's 1hko attacks have a cooldown. If he does them within 5 seconds or less of each other (red eyes seduce, 1hko shout), then you have time to jump down, kill the mobs quickly, and jump back up.

Like half minute after the jaw's down I was calm and things were pretty normal. Then it became nasty after arrow illusion expires, the hand got me when I tried to place it down because of the long animation. Then I figure it out I can just place it near my side, jump to other side and keep an eye on mobs (you can see where the mobs is with arrow illusion damage). I don't know how to time this yet, like how long they take to reach middle or between 2 spawn. There is like a cd between demoncry, so I jump down to kill mobs and switch side right after that. The hand really got me a second time because I was careless thinking that it doesn't hit you on higher platform (not regular but it will sometime). Then I got hit by the reverse move and can't jump out of the hand slap. After this point I was like ok, I will just put my arrow down and ignore mobs(it only had like 1/3hp bar or so left). I got the eyes and knocked over by the jewel, dead again by the mobs. I recast only mihile link skill and jump to finish the jewel, didn't realise that my arrow illusion expired because of my death and the mobs which stack together slowly rush to middle. If I didn't make the last shot into jewel in time that was a failure since it's only a second before the last mob count reach middle. My heart pounds like crazy when I see difficult clear 3 appears. No good drops, but it was like the coolest thing ever :O
Normally avoid the fist is pretty easy since all you have to do is just jump and pay attention to where it lands, then double jump out of it. The jaw is pretty easy with arrow illusion, failed all my tries yesterday because my familiar was out and mess up aggro, I still managed to kill the jaw somehow. I believe after jaw is down it's safe to stay at the end of higher platform and snipe away, I just don't have enough dps to ignore the mobs like I do with normal gollux.
