Strategy[ | ]

Tsoagoth is a challenging boss to strategize for, as his abilities intentionally remove the option of kiting (running out of damage zones) from the player. This boss acts as a stat check on your build. If you do not have enough lightning resistance and cold resistance, you are highly likely to die from a one-shot by a combination of lightning strikes and orbs of water. In order to deal with this, it is critical to max out your lightning and cold resistances by temporarily equipping a Topaz Ring or Topaz Flask and Sapphire Ring or Sapphire Flask, in addition to having at least 1000 health and appropriate life flasks
