Tips & Tricks

  • Depending on his weapon, Jory can hit harder than a stone giant in melee, and getting mesmerized will make escape significantly more difficult, but neither of these are as great a concern as Lehudib's Crystal Spear. High EV and SH will greatly reduce the chance of him landing this spell, even more so if you've got Repel Missiles active. Considering that he's fairly durable, preparing yourself to deal with the possibility of multiple LCS's is a good idea.
  • High willpower will give you a good chance of resisting his attempts to mesmerize you. Clarity will grant immunity.
  • Jory is vulnerable to silence. If you're a competent physical fighter, you can read a scroll of silence and then smash him in melee. A weapon of holy wrath will make this even easier.

History

  • Prior to 0.13, he would only spawn in one extremely rare vault where his entourage of silent spectres would render his spells useless.
  • Prior to 0.12, he had significantly less HP.
  • Jory was added in 0.8.
