Defeating Jack of Blades

What is the best way of beating Jack of blades, what should you be equiped with, and what skilss should you have mastered.
 
Re: Defeating Jack of Blades

I'm sure there are other threads like this, but which version of Jack are you trying to defeat? The one where you are in the Chamber of Fate or when he is in his dragon form?
 
Re: Defeating Jack of Blades

It's a bit of a cheat actually, because it makes you totally invincible, but if you get Physical Shield and buy tons and tons of Mana potions and just drink one as soon as you get some damage nothing can kill you.

Ah, but that's the beauty of using it, you don't get harmed.

If you don't have enough experience, you can also try Beserk or max out on the Multi-arrow, since both of those can cause a lot of damage as well.;)

Hell yeah. A maxed multi-arrow from Skorm's Bow is perhaps the most damaging attack in the game. :ninja:
 
Re: Defeating Jack of Blades

well...if uask me....use trainers to get exp potions nad max out EVERYTHING, then by a ****load of potions....ull be invincable
 
Re: Defeating Jack of Blades

or if you ask me MAKE A WEAPON
 
Re: Defeating Jack of Blades

Or if you ask me, don't ruin your gaming experiance with over-powering you Hero in an already too easy game.

Honestly, atleast play through the games the "legit" way before modding, if you ask me.
 
Re: Defeating Jack of Blades

Good luck anyways...he's pretty easy both times if you use your weapons and skills wisely.
 
Re: Defeating Jack of Blades

if you mean the first battle with him, I would advise lots of mana potions... not to use physical shield though...
use divine fury/infernal wrath continuously only pausing to drink the potions and if done right he never has time to attack you...
divine fury/infernal wrath work best as, also if timed right, they will take down any of the other jerks that come to kill you as well
if you mean the second battle, I also recommend divine fury/infernal wrath over and over, only dodging to avoind fireballs...
I use it on everything really... it just looks cool and if that's not what being a hero is all about then I don't want to know what is...
 
Re: Defeating Jack of Blades

or....u can....in first battle....when hes like floating in the air....usr multi arrow at him while dodging his blasts...adn use the stone things for cover...thats always my strategy.....
 
Re: Defeating Jack of Blades

In the first battle with him, all I did was hit him with my sword until he went in the air. Then I just used my bow. The only magic I used was slow time. Make sure you have health, mana, and resurection potions.
 
Re: Defeating Jack of Blades

He's pretty easy actually, I wouldn't worry too much.

A Maxed Multistrike with the Solus Greatsword, with maxed Physique and with Berserk on.;)

Q: How do I beat Jack of Blades?

A: The first time you fight Jack, he has two forms of attack. In the beginning he uses a sword to attack you, often sending out hurtful waves of energy. The easiest way to defeat him in this form is to cast Physical Shield, Slow Time, and then cast Berserk. Now, whenever you hit him, you will smash through his blocking sword (he blocks extremely well) and damage him for a good amount. Halfway through the fight, Jack will change attack patterns. Now, he will stay in the center of the room, but he flies, so the sword is useless. Take out your bow, and cast Slow Time and then cast Multi-Arrow. Jack has a couple of very, very damaging attacks in this form. He still sends out waves of energy, but they hurt more, and there are more of them. His second attack drains you of life. Fortunately, if you are armed with Skorm’s Bow, and use Multi-Arrow, all you need to do is hit him 2-3 times to kill him. When he sends out the waves of energy, stand in-between the spaces of the energy bolts, charge up, and let fly. Do this until he is beaten.

The second time you fight Jack, he has a few new tricks up his sleeves. In preparation, when you are outside the Bronze Gate, cast Physical Shield and Multi-Arrow, and then use a potion to get your mana back to full. Now enter the gate. You will enter a large room brimming with lava underneath you (the action gets hot from here on out…sorry, anyways….). Now, when you have control of your character, immediately cast Slow Time and run to the left, up the stairs, and then go midway down the descending stairs. Why, you ask? Good question. Jack has two moves that are completely nullified by this position. One, a diving flame attack, will go right behind you. This attack HURTS…as in, it can completely wipe out your mana if you have your Physical Shield up. Jack’s other attack is a ground stomp, which sends debris out in front of him. The debris will not go up the stairs, so it will not damage you. About midway through the fight, summoners and minions will start to spawn. These honestly aren’t very big threats. Laughably, Jack will do your work for you in getting rid of the summoners, as his flame breath will kill them if they are standing above the staircase you are on. Now, as Jack settles back down after a flight, charge up your bow and wait for a lock on. Fire, and then immediately charge again and fire. There is a certain amount of damage that you can do to him before he must fly around again. Repeat the bow-charge-fire routine two more times and he should die.

Very nice and thanks for posting, plus rep!;)
 
Re: Defeating Jack of Blades

Or you can just ram yer sword up his **** and give him a right hook to the face, that works well too.
 
Re: Defeating Jack of Blades

The first time I beat him, I just used the master bow and mastered multi-arrow plus got augmentations. It was pretty easy. Even for defeating the dragon, using the bow is, I think, the best way.
