Can't range attack or magically attack Abeix, Who Dwells Beneath

Hi All,

I've been playing the game for a couple of hours now, 

 

Finally built up the courage to attack one of the bosses: Abeix, Who Dwells Beneath.

Unfortunatly, in battle, I can't do a range attack on the beast, since it walks in the cracks of the earth, and those tiles are 'blocked'.

If I push the fast forward button, though, I see in the details that it receives plenty of ranged attack damage anyway, just not enough to kill it.

I've got a savegame for you, I'll send it to [email protected] with a link to this post.

Only way I know to kill him is spells that target automagically, like "storm", which hits a "random" bad guy with a lightly bolt.  "Random" gets a little less random with only 1 target  :)

Any other ways ?

The Pandemonium spell also works. Some of it's random effects deal damage. Other effects cause Daze and Slow.

or fireball / blizzard if you target the area behind him.

So Catapults might work as well.

Yea, this boss is totally stupid ...

Does not deal any damage and you just have to hit it x times with storm, not big challenge and certainly not a an epic fight ...

He's been broken for a while.  Hopefully will get fixed in 0.90.

If you melee him, he packs quite a punch. At least he did so for me.

I did him with a lvl 11 or 12 melee champion, two drakes and two healers.

Using just the drakes' fire breath (target a square in front of him) looked far too slow.

 

I think you are meant to be forced into melee, and it's an unintended side effect of indirect targeting that you can avoid it.

That would make sense ...

Since i met this guy with my magic sov it was not a challenge at all
