Tips & Tricks

  • The Enchantress and her band of allies can be devastating if faced all at once and are very difficult to escape. If you see spriggans, try to lure them away a few at a time; even if the Enchantress isn't part of the band, it's still a good habit.
  • You'll want massive amounts of magic resistance to reduce the impact of her hexes, and high AC/GDR will reduce the sting of her demon whip.
  • Avoid flying during this fight; her air mages will tear flying characters to shreds with Airstrike. As for the defenders and berserkers, you can neutralize them best by fighting in a hallway and only allowing one opponent to reach you at a time.
  • As she can deny you the ability to teleport, try to have another means of escape at your disposal, such as Haste plus a timely Swiftness.
  • Actually hitting her can be a huge pain, especially for ranged weapon users. If possible, use spells like Airstrike, Fireball, Lee's Rapid Deconstruction, or anything else that bypasses EV.
  • Be sure to check out the faerie dragon scales she drops. Its usefulness can vary wildly, but has the potential to be extremely worthwhile.
  • You can also find the Enchantress in Dungeon Sprint IV: Fedhas' Mad Dash.
