Belphegor Level 1
A quick guide on Belphegor level 1, this is intended for parties that is moderately geared and level 30 - 45.
Belphegor [1] has roughly 3 stages (2nd and 3rd sometimes blend in with each other)
1st stage is 100%-50% hp
Belphegor is chained to the ground and has 2 noticable attacks
- poison breath, he holds his head up lit with green light for about 2 seconds, then does a sweep infront of him with poison attack. you can tank this with some poison resistance
- claws, he moves about while chained to the ground and damages you while struggling to get out. As keenly observed by our members, he raises the arm to which side we would strike same as the poison breath, you can dodge it in time if you see it coming. damage is not very high but he moves frequently
This stage is fairly straight forward, just DPS it down but try to keep at least 50% mana for later stages where you need to kill fast. Avoid the attacks if you can, the animation is fairly slow so if you pay attention you can definitely avoid being hit.
2nd stage is 50%-15% hp
Belphegor breaks free from the chains and stands on the ground, he has 3 noticable attacks
- poison breath, same as above
- tail swipe, his tail does a large swing and hits you for moderate amount of damage if you're in the way
- claw stomp, well, pretty self expanatory, moderate damage directly infront of him
Need to be noted he turns around 180 degrees or moves away from his position every now and then and chains up an attack, dont get in the way!
This stage you should keep DPSing and focus on not taking damage, if you get hurt now it will be tough to survive later on.
3rd stage is the last 15% hp
Belphegor has all of the attacks above and also an additional to watch out for
- poison bombardment, Belphegor takes off into the air and 2 seconds later releases TWO waves of poison bombs in a large area directly below him, quite high damage (hits me for 1.1k at 96% poison resist)
this is where you should spend all your mana in damage and keep only enough for 2 defends. once he flies into the air count 1 second and shield yourself, too soon and you might get hit by the second blast. burst him down as quickly as possible as your party may not survive two waves of poison bombs.
Generally Belphegor level 1 is not too difficult once you are 35+, I've duoed it with a top player on the APAC server in about 4 minutes (he does double my damage, final score is about ~7000 on the left hand side for him and ~4000 for me). At the time I was level 40 using an epic weapon +15, didn't really get hurt much as I could dodge all his attacks.
As long as you grasp his movements and defend at the right time, you should not have trouble with him at a 5+ player party with mixed green / blue gear.
