Useful Info

Tips & Tricks

  • The spell Harpoon Shot coupled with his throwing nets can make it extremely difficult to escape Harold, as he will repeatedly pull you towards him and trap you there whilst pummeling you with his competent melee skills.
  • Watch out for his Sentinel's Mark, which will often have an extremely high success rate (about 80%) unless you've found MR-enhancing equipment. If he tags you with it, you'll have enemies from all over the entire floor showing up while Harold keeps you pinned down. As a result, it may be best to fight Harold on a cleared floor where there will be no enemies for him to attract.
    • If you run into Harold and aren't ready to fight him, consider escaping to a different floor and coming back through a different staircase to avoid him. Having a good Stealth score makes this easier as you might escape his notice, but even heavily armored brutes can generally manage to get away as long as he stays right at the edge of your line of sight.
  • Harold can't see invisible, so feel free to quaff a potion and then hack away. Any other methods of buffing yourself (such as might, haste, berserk, etc.) work as well.
