Quick Answer

Do not force every Berserker Gravestone as soon as it appears. They are late-game challenge fights and feel much better once gear level, amulet slots, runic attacks, and resurrection stones are ready. The goal is stable clears, not underleveled proof.

Pre-Fight Checklist

CheckStandard
Gear levelDo not be far behind the enemy pressure
Armor directionUse a survival or damage setup you know well
AmuletSlot effects should support the current playstyle
Resurrection stoneBring one before hard attempts
Runic attacksPick attacks you can safely land, not only the highest number
Nornir ChestsDo not leave too much health and Rage behind

Order Logic

  1. Start with single-target fights with clear patterns and low arena pressure.
  2. Move into fights with adds, ranged pressure, or awkward arenas.
  3. In duo or multi-target fights, value camera control over greed.
  4. Leave the obvious final-tier challenge for the end.

Fight Tips

  • Read attack color carefully: block, dodge, or fully disengage.
  • Defend first against unfamiliar strings.
  • Use runic attacks for interruption, safety, or closing a health threshold.
  • In multi-target fights, camera control is often more important than damage.
  • Rage can be a survival resource, not just a damage button.
