Tips & Tricks
- Cold and negative energy resistance will take the sting out of her spells. In particular, rN+ will completely negate Agony.
- Try not to kill any corpse-leaving monsters around her: this will deny her the use of her Simulacrum spell.
- Try to separate her from her undead pets. She can deal a lot of HP and XP damage blasting you with bolts while you hack your way toward her.
- If she has any particularly strong pets, you can use a wand of enslavement to turn it against her.
History
Josephine's spell set will change drastically in 0.14: Bolt of Cold will be replaced with Ghostly Fireball, Agony with Vampiric Draining, and Simulacrum with Dispel Undead.
