Rasial, the First Necromancer

Introduction

In order to fight Rasial you must complete the Alpha vs Omega quest. Rasial deals Necromancy and typeless damage, and can only be killed using Necromancy.

Positioning

⬥ The tile shown above serves as a safespot for the ghost wall mechanic.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• This tile is ideal as it keeps you 5 tiles away for quicker

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• For the soul obelisks, you may run 4 tiles west (toward obelisk), and 2-4 east.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ Doing this allows to kill one of the soul obelisks.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ This is only recommended if you have the ruthless perk.
