First Klaus Kill :)


Recommended Posts

Hello there Starverinos,

First of all let me give a huge congratz to Klei on the design of Krampus. The animations of both him and deer are amazing, really really NICE!
The fight is not hard but i think it fine for what the drop. I know the Pros are going to have the opposite opinion, but if by any chance he gets buffed, he will be a Optional Boss that people will most like not do it because there is no special item that only he drops :)

Anyway here is the video of the kill, if you want to check all the cool visuals in a Legit Fight.

Unless your pals do a frightful mistake and kill one of the Deers.

You're screwed afterwards.

Not really. I mean, you ARE, but it's possible to survive AND solo it (after your friends are dead, that is). You just need to run and use mobs to your advantage. In my first run last night, the deer fell and then both a fully-upgraded WX and Wigfrid with a hambat followed. I just ran, thusly using tentacles to annoy Klaus a bit, enough to let me heal. For the chomping stage, you pretty much need ranged weapons. Elemental staves, darts... @Glhrmzz is making a very important point here: this is a fight mostly consisting of tanking. The latter stage is all about dodging, but you can't do much even with ranged weapons. So killing the deer will enrage Klaus, causing the fight to be greatly prolonged (which means more sanity loss, more HP lost as Klaus gets more hit opportunities, and likely issues with Charlie if you're not quick building campfires or switching to a lantern).

It's probably the armor shred that's the problem with the enraged state.

Could as well be: I'm quite a fan of marble armour, although if you go for speed, you either need a walking cane or another kind of armour to swap between (have the two in separate numbered slots and switch quickly to and fro). This was a very tough fight.

@Glhrmzz, I feel like you should make your own mega-thread for your highlights. It would be much easier and more convenient to find your content on the forums for those who don't follow your Twitch or Youtube. (Also so your posts don't get lost deep in the gaping maw that is this Forum)

Me and a friend managed to agro like 15 treeguards on him in our world, making quick work of Klaus and his deer. The treeguards died, but Klaus was left with only 1k health in his second form.

Sounds perfect. Which stage was it in to aggro treeguards?

Stage 1. We just had to lead his blind self into some trees we had planted.

I thought he stays near the loot bag?

Plus, I managed to solo Klaus using 3 battle helms, a hambat and 6 healing salves. Should I record my strategy?

Has there really been enough space to put enough pinecones for 15 treeguards? The RNG gods must really be supporting you.

It was a pretty late game world, so we had about 200 pinecones planted ready around the klaus sack, lol

hm... is it okay to advertise your videos on  here? I feel like these posts serve only as advertising, not to really add anything, Just wondering   what are the forum's policies when it comes to advertising. 

Personally, I want to know about/see the videos, so it seems like value added

This is ingenious. I've got to try it. Does anyone know the aggro range? Does Klaus stay in the world after having spawned?

Though he(?) does retreat after he's gone some distance away from the sack, to his sack. But yes, he does despawn when too far from him. When the BGM stops, he despawned. At least, when I was testing him.

WoW. Had no idea this was going to explode so much. Glad you folks enjoyed. Klaus is really a great fight with great visuals. Also @KoreanWaffles i have one, but its moved to a section i feel people don't use much. Anyway i will keep the topic in their updated as much as possible :) Thanks for the interested.

Best Regards,

Glhrmzz
