Talk:Corypheus (strategy)

This fight is super annoying..
.. so I came up with a different strategy to fight him. Essentially, instead of trying to kite the demons that are spawned when destroying the pillars around the flames during AOE phases, break all the pillars sequentially (this obviously gets harder as each AOE phase passes), then at the last pillar, line up your party as far up against the back wall as possible, and fight the demons there. This can be done with as many or as few pillars at a time as you want. The fire will do very minimal damage to you as it passes.. during the last AOE phase, I found that the shades did way more damage than the fire. During the last phase, this also makes you not take damage from the lightning and ice while fighting the shades. The reason this works is because the shades heal you when you kill them.. ideally, you time the killing of some of the shades as the flame passes by so you don't risk having anyone die. I tried this on hard and it worked quite well, don't know if it'll work on nightmare..
