Hi guys! I'm trying to beat this boss without attacking him and I have reached the third phase. What's next? What can I do to, to through that without attacking him since enemies are no longer linked to him?

You have to be pretty literal when interpreting the badge description. For instance, the badge never mentions consumables, you can damage DK with dangerous potions/scrolls as much as you like.

When I did this, I had a high level corruption weapon and his minions did it for me.
But really anything, potions, scrolls, plants, etc.
Pretty sure wands don't count as weapon either.

I find the elixir of toxic essence effective against the king. Seeing my success rate I didn't try all the way but that and a few fire potions might work

I cheated and got it with +19 thorns plate lol

I wasn't even aware that an item would go that high. How did you keep thorns throughout all those upgrades?

Throw a stone of aggression at him and LOL.

That could work, but it would probably be less effective. With the stone of aggression, everything will attack yogg. With the scroll of rage, everything will attack whatever is closest to it, including you.

Good point. Still learning some of the nuances

[–] TheGunslinger@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I assume you mean the king, but it does also work well in yoggs last stage

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Ah yeah, I forgot we're talking about dwarf king and not Yogg. It'll work for either of them. That said, it's really only viable for the final stage of both fights, unless you somehow have a bag full of those stones.
