Ascalon Catatombs explorable path 3

Path 3: Colossus

Level 35. Difficulty: Easy. Duration: Short.
Stun-breaker (& Stability) is a life-saver against leaping Gravelings.


Burrow & Spider Champion

Burrow spawns when you enter stairs.
- To skip burrow wait on "choose path" dialog until everyone has entered stairs or just run through.
Jump over the gap to skip last fire traps.
- Melee players should proceed normally, they can hit two gargoyle heads through wall.
Destroy gargoyle heads as soon as possible. Spider spawns after killing enough hatchlings.
Bring plenty of condition removal to remove Poison and Immobilize.


Spike-corridor & Lieutenant Kholer

Patiently get through spikes, disable on your left at the end of the corridor.
Troll may spawn: ignore, pull to Kohler or kill.
Kholer (skippable) raises his sword to pull and quickly kill everyone. Dodge, break line of sight or use stun-breaker.

Tomb of lovers

Bring plenty of offense to quickly destroy nests and breeders.
- Attacks based on object size are extremely effective (Elementalists Ice Bow skill 4 for example).
Keep eye on the machines to peel off attackers.


Nests

Attacking burrows from behind allows you to destroy them undetected (melee may work too).
Enemies despawn upon killing last burrow. You can ignore enemies and move on next burrow.


Colossus

Alternates between screaming and dropping rocks.
Pay close attention to ground when avoiding rocks. Rocks knock you down, however use stun-break only to avoid fatal rock or scream.
Scream has 180 degree cone. Either get behind Colossus or try to outrange it.
May also leap which can be hard to dodge as a melee.
Knockdowns during unburrow.
