Cant pass Izario on merc

Just getting oneshots. My first tries was with 5k hp al level 70, now i have 7k hp, 80+ lvl, i bought kaom and pick tonns of hp nodes, i really cant increase ehp anymore and still getting fucking oneshots. wtf? Go the fuck out with enchants, i just need my ascendancy point, why i must spending whole days in this boring lab with no chance to survieve? Why its harder than t15 maps?

When are you dying to Izaro? In the first fight, or in the 3rd one?

You need to disable Izaro's helper things in the first two fights if you don't want the 3rd fight to be really hard.

Also, have a look at poelab.com, and only try to run the labyrinth on a day with no charge disruptors.

Actually i just got a bit upset about lab today,
cause Izaura killed me on merc 2nd fight 2 times,
and i cant even see what attack was exactly the one that kills me.
It just happened. Like a lag or i dunno.. i wasnt even there.
It happened 2 times in a row,
btw it had those disruptors you just mentiond.

So yeah.. to the f*** with Izaura,
will try on another day. Looks like that's the only option.

second fight in current lab. Im trying to pass it whole week, so...

doesnt matter. Its looks bugged cuz i cant see difference after turning it off. Today he just use skill looking like bright wave and it killeng me almost all time. in last fight day ago he just smash ground with big aoe-boom and i died instantly. I have vaal pact and instant bottles so i can easy tanking hits with 5, 6k dmg but not oneshots ffs. Hate it, i spend so much time for this shit.

If you're getting oneshot by merciless izaro with 5k HP, you're doing something horribly, horribly wrong.

Have you somehow managed to not get any sort of mitigation/avoidance at all? No fortify, armor, evasion, flasks, whatever? Do you have no life recovery (leech or regen or LGOH)?

I was able to facetank merc Izaro no problem with my flicker strike character using double strike. No matter what mods he had, he couldn't kill me in one shot. Maybe if you're letting him get all 3 extra mechanics the first 2 fights he could potentially one-shot you with 7k health (I doubt it), but it's seriously easy to limit his extra things.

Maybe you could make your character tab public so we can see what's what?

You're getting wave slashed aren'tcha

In the second phase he gets charges. They act as a combination of Power, Frenzy and Endurance Charges so if he has a lot he deals incredible damage.

As a high armor char with full endurance charge it's not hard to survive, but you have to kill him before he reaches full charges 3 times, because you will also deal a lot less damage if he is at full charges and he will keep all charges for the final fight.

The first one is Essence which is easy although again it is a pretty terrible mechanic for melees, because you have to keep the essences from getting to izaro otherwise they empower Izaro with additional
damage and resistance of their element, which is massiv if he gets all 3.

I usually did the Uber lab when there was Fonds (the curse thing), Lieutenants, Portals or Gargoyles. And if not melee Essence is also fairly easy, because they don't have many xp and you can kite izaro away from them. The worst are Charges and Conduits, because both are easy to take to the next fight and increase his damage incredible. Idols are also annoying but if you have capped resistances you can deal with one or two statues being up creating explosion but I still prefer to avoid it.

Honestly that skill can't even oneshot my Totem Marauder and he has just 12k Armor and not even 5k HP. If he doesn't get any buffs Merciless Izaro is a pushover. Of course I try to not always get hit by his attacks, since they are easy to dodge, but if they do hit they shouldn't hit hard. But my Juggernaut can basically just stand there. I assume wearing something like Abyssus is a bad idea in that encounter, due to how much physical damage is present, but besies this he is fairly easy.

7k. Not 5k

cant use forti, it will cost 50% of dps and life recovering speed.

almost instant life recovering from vaal pact. But its cant help against oneshot.

Done. Current character - Julis_von_Reissfeld

1) Don't get hit by his AOE attack. It's telegraphed, you can avoid it.

2) Get flasks. Basalt flask for example helps, Taste of Hate helps.

3) Get Endurance Charges and Fortify if needed.

4) Disable his mechanics.

5) Enfeeble him. Temp Chains also helps.

6) In case of Charge Disruptors, use one once he gets too many charges. You know how those work, right?


I can do Uber Lab with 4.7k HP and almost no mitigation (ranged character), by avoiding pretty much all his attacks. It's not that hard.

As Melee avoiding some of his attacks is much harder (as melee not able to use Whirling Blades). But in general Fortify is a must have for such encounters and it is not that hard to get. A very quick and fluent attack like cleave can basically always provide it in a 3l or even in a 2l without Faster Attacks. Frenzy might actually be the best Fortify option if you can't afford a 5 or 6l. And definityl get endurance charges, Izaro is made for them he spawns so many skeletons that it is very easy to get plenty of those for the whole fight.
