This was such a powerful Boss, but he could still go berserk.
It wasn't the kind of berserk that would occur after dying. He would go berserk when he was at half health, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a rage. Not only did his attack power and attack speed increase, but he could also throw his hammer.
Grenade-Throwing Mother could instantly kill people.
This Boss also had an area of effect fear. Although the range of fear wasn't large, the Main Tank couldn't escape, so the Fear Barrier had to be maintained. The other melee professions could only pray for their luck.
Those who weren't affected by fear shouldn't be happy too early. Maulgar would use Charge on targets that weren't affected by fear.
If the Main Tank could pull the target back in time, it would be fine. If they couldn't, then the team would be wiped.
These were some of High King Maulgar's mechanics. In reality, it was much more difficult to fight.
However, this wasn't the only difficulty. To fight this Boss, you couldn't ignore the four minions that he brought – Kros Firehand for the Mage, Ommo the Summoner for the Warlock, Blind the Prophet for the Priest and Chichler the Mad Shaman for the Mad Shaman.
These four minions had different professions. Together with the Boss, they formed a super strong monster team.
With the current strength of the players, even the core elite teams of the super clubs had a mix of Dark Gold and Epic equipment. Some of them didn't even have level 70 equipment, so there was no way they could beat High King Maulgar and his four minions.
At a stage where everyone's equipment wasn't good enough, High King Maulgar's difficulty was even higher than Gruul's.
In fact, the monsters at the entrance were also particularly strong. A 25-man team was killed by the monsters in minutes. The only good thing about this Instance Dungeon was that they could escape. After all, behind them was the entrance of the Instance Dungeon. When they saw that they couldn't fight anymore, Lu Li gave the order to retreat, so the rest of the small fries scattered in all directions.
After all, monsters were just monsters. They could stop most teams, but they definitely couldn't stop a team like Ruling Sword forever.
Most of Ruling Sword's team wipes were caused by High King Maulgar.
"Dreamy, try to mislead a small monster." After dying a few times, Lu Li did not want to die anymore, so he began to use the advantage of being reborn. That's right, this dungeon had a bug. In the early stages, Gruul's Lair was better than Magtheridon's Lair, and even Karazhan's Lair. Apart from the fact that its Boss was not as difficult as Magtheridon's, another reason was that a bug could be used here.
Of course, the bug was not to mislead the monsters.
Thus, everyone was wiped out once again.
"Hmm …" Lu Li pretended to be deep in thought. Then, he pointed at another monster and asked Canmeng to try again.
They were wiped out four more times. On the fifth time, Lu Li pointed at the Boss and said to Canmeng, "Let him try. Mislead Feng Shao and then Feign Death. Don't mess it up."
Although Canmeng was not very willing, he still faithfully completed Lu Li's orders.
This kind of team wipe wasn't too much of a loss. When the others saw that the situation was not right, they ran away. Only Canmeng and Weilan Haifeng were killed because they were too close to the Boss and were directly bearing the aggro.
This time, everyone was still prepared to run away. For this type of First Clear Boss, it was necessary to try to use Mislead. As such, no one had any objections to Lu Li's command.
It was just that no one thought that doing this would have any effect.
Just as everyone was preparing to run away again, a surprising scene appeared.
"Idiots, don't run. He's coming. Look, he's coming. This time, there's only one person," a shrill and piercing cry rang out. Weilan Haifeng almost cried.
Every attempt that Lu Li made during the First Clear Stage basically cost Weilan Haifeng's life.
If everyone died together, then there was no need to say anything. Weilan Haifeng didn't think that he was more special than the others, but the key was that everyone could run away and he was the only one dying — Canmeng could fake her death. As long as she didn't get up, the Boss would treat her as a corpse.
This made him feel unbalanced.
Now, Lu Li had finally done something. When he saw that everyone still wanted to run away, he instantly panicked.
Everyone focused their eyes and saw that the Boss really was coming over.
This Boss was difficult, but it wasn't to the point where everyone was afraid. An old general without an army was especially easy to kill, so everyone began to return to their original positions.
Lu Li commanded Weilan Haifeng to pull the Boss to a place not far from the entrance of the Instance Dungeon. This way, they wouldn't provoke the Boss' four minions, and it would also make it easier for everyone to escape when the team was wiped. Thus, a new way of fighting began.
Without the four minions, High King Maulgar was just a slightly stronger normal Boss.
The first 50% of the Boss's HP was easily dealt with. However, when the Boss's HP reached 50%, it went into Berserk mode. At that point, everyone could feel the pressure of a Boss of this level.
After going Berserk, Maulgar would continue to use Whirlwind Slash. Sometimes, unluckily, Maulgar would immediately use Whirlwind Slash after Fierce Strike. This would cause a certain number of casualties.
"Don't panic. It's just two people dying," Lu Li shouted. "Fei Houzi, if you dare to flash to the entrance of the Instance Dungeon, I'll deduct your guild points."
"Yes, deduct his points. It's too shameful to run away without fighting," Weilan Haifeng echoed.
"If you don't want to run, then don't run." Fei Houzi resentfully turned around and continued to attack the Boss.
"As long as Feng Shao doesn't die, no one can relax. Before I say anything, the first person to run will have 20 points deducted, and the second person to run will have 10 points deducted." Lu Li was a little regretful. He shouldn't have given everyone a way out. They were thinking of running away when they couldn't beat the Boss.
Under the threat of deducting points, everyone finally didn't dare to run away.
If they died, they would only lose some equipment durability. It was a little uncomfortable, but it was nothing compared to losing 20 guild points. Sometimes, 20 guild points was enough to get a piece of equipment.
After being wiped three times, High King Maulgar fell.
Lu Li and the others also suffered heavy losses. In the end, there were only a few people left standing. After all, High King Maulgar's hammer was always accurate, and those who were hit were instantly killed.
After High King Maulgar fell, out of the 25 people in the party, two received skill points.
This was probably the charm of First Clears. The equipment didn't really matter, and there was a limit to how good they were. The most important thing was the skill points. A Boss gave two skill points. Other than First Clears or Wild Bosses, it was impossible to get them.
There were two exquisite gems, but Lu Li didn't take them. He took a skill book that the Boss dropped.
This skill book was called "Waiting for an Opportunity". It wasn't an enhanced skill, but it was very effective. It was a new level 70 skill. After five skill points, the skill effect was — — increase the damage dealt when using Backstab, Garrote, or Ambush skills to sneak attack an enemy from behind by 20%.
