When you see him starting to do a big jump, roll forward. You are only attacking him after its one move - pounce. All of this gear you can obtain relatively easily.Īs for the tactics, you need to be defensive the entire time - this means keeping your shield up and on the move constantly, avoiding its attacks whenever possible. As for your armor, you can equip the Black Leather set, or whatever you can get away with before it affects your mobility.

Make sure you've got a Ring of Flame Resistance too. It is a fist weapon and you'll need to get up close to attack, but for new players it might be your only option.

You are aiming to be flame resistant and mobile - which means you can roll smoothly. Take one flame resistant shield, such as the Purple Flame Shield, and a magical melee weapon - a perfect example are the Hands of God - which you can get right before the battle. The only time you want to be behind him is when you have rolled under him and are attacking - to do this, see the below strategy: Often after attacking or being hit it likes to jump backwards or to either side, so don't be caught off guard and stay in front. In general, stay in front of him, it's much better to deal with the Flamelurker face to face.
