Boss

The boss is Keeng Ra'at (Monster: Ratling Ratling icon, Attack 999, Health 100, First Strike, Fast Regen, Retaliate: Fireball).

Strategy

Recommended race: Race: Orc Orc (or any other)

Although the boss deals an unsurvivable amount of damage, luckily there is an item that can slow him once. So the only challenge is to use Momentum to get total damage above 100 to be able to take him out in one shot. Playing as an Class: Crusader Orc Crusader this should be doable as early as level 5, even more so later on. So just kill enough higher level monsters to get to a comfortable level, convert everything not needed, and just after a level up, start killing off the low-level monsters. Once the total attack exceeds 100, smash the Orb of Lethar, and take out the boss in one hit.
