What is the best tactic in case of Earl Osam?

Question

Earl Osam is one of the bosses from the Grave Danger Quest, located in Cormaya.

I've only killed him a couple times and always with the same team (2 Knights & 3 Druids), which might not be the most optimal team setup, but at least it was do-able. Having two knights is nice in a way that you can trap the boss like in the picture above, however the rest of the team (shooters) are taking a lot of damage from the Frozen Souls, they seem to deal around 500-600 with their attacks and they do attack quite often and it drains our magic shield quickly.

So my questions is:

• What do you think the best team setup (vocations) is against this boss?
• What items (damage, protection?) should you have?
• I know the Frozen Souls deal ice damage but as you can see in the picture above they also shoot a death-like attack, is this attack also ice, or is it death damage? 

      

Answer 1

I have done it several times and how it has worked the best in my opinion is with this team:

• 1 EK
• 1 RP
• 2 EDS
• 1 MS

We do it very simple:

Team	Equipment	Attack	Forbidden Attacks for the boss
EK	Physical defense set	Summer blade/Gnome sword/Destruction weapon + physical spells
RP	Distance set + Ice protection (Embrace of nature)	Physical spells + Holy spells
ED	Magic level set	Fireball Runes	Ice/Sd
Additional Shooters: ED/MS/RP	""	""

Strategy:

• Lure Earl Osam next to a diagonal wall
• The Shooters stay next to the horizontal/vertical walls
• The RP stays diagonal to the boss toward the centre of the room, so all the Frozen Souls focus their attacks only on him., which are as you said Ice but also Life drain!
• The ED/EDs stays between the Ek and the RP, doing sio to the EK and mas res to the RP. Avoiding ofc to stay face to face to the boss

• When the Magical Spheres appear, we first kill the one next to us among all. Next we split, half the team kill one and the other kill the opposite one; and the 4th one (opposite of the first one) we kill between all. They accept Death damage as well.
• Other way we have found useful when you have no time to kill completely all them is to take the four to red hp following the same technique than above, and the UE all them at the same time when they are near the boss.

This is how it works better for us.

Thanks for the tips!
I never said the frozen souls did life-drain xD
But you are positive that it is Ice + Life drain then?

Oh, you said ice. I added the Life drain, and yep I'm sure. Actually the Druid that usually come with me now stays in hp using garlic necklaces + Ice protection, no more utamo is needed for him.

Yeah I said ice and death, cus the frozen souls have two different attacks, one that looks like an icicle and the other like a sudden death rune.
Thats why I was curious what the sudden death rune animation is, if its also Ice? Or death? Or perhaps even something else

The ice animation is ice dmg, the death animation is Life drain.
You can check It using garlic necklaces.
The hard part about figuring which Monsters hit Life drain dmg is that this attack animation looks different depending of the creature

Answer 2

Before enter on the room boss:

• Use Ice Protection.
• Use Fire Attacks.
• Dont use Ice Attacks or Death Attacks.
• All members of the team level 350 or more.
• The team: 1 Knight, 1 Druid, 1 Paladin (Level 400 or more) and others 2 shooters or 2 Knights, 1/2 Druids and 1/2 shooters.

On the boss room:

• Lure the boss to the suth.
• All shooters and druid on suth, next to the wall.

• The knights or/and paladin (level 400) next to the boss to take the damage from boss and Frozen Souls.
• When the four Magical Spheres appear, first focus on the Magical Sphere number 1 and kill it (Can use Sudded Death Runes).

• Divide the team in two groups, each group focus and kill the Magical Sphere number 2 (On each side of group).
• Finally, focused on the Magical Sphere number 3 and kill it.
• Kill at least 3 Magical Spheres.
• Go back to your position and keep the boss fighting.
