Usually the person with the most hit points (The Warrior) grabs the TP scroll (belt slot one) and goes searching for Leo once that bossâs start spot is ascertained.
Why not the character who casts fastest? If archers aren't a danger, I rather think a Mage would be safer. Then again, it doesn't really matter which character does it as long as the player is skilled enough to not get hit.
Remember, by IM rules you can clear AT MOST only dlevel Four before returning to finish off Leo.
This varies by version.
NOTE: When the party reenters the dungeon level, Leo remains "active" for 12.75 seconds of time, during which he will try to find a way to attack your group.
I'm not so sure re-entering the dlvl resets the timer to 12.75 seconds. Hmm, need to test.
With his Goat AI Leo often uses a circular attack pattern of movement.
Technically Leo has Leo AI, though it is similar to Goat AI in its walk pattern.
Only if he was considerably close when you left. If nobody's on the dlvl I'm pretty sure monsters don't move. They might while you're loading/exiting, and they will still be active when you return. If that's what you meant, yes, that could be a danger.
Does it have anything to do with who's first in the game's internal playerlist?

Quote:Note: it is NOT a good idea to flee directly to the stairs leading either to level Two or Four as Leo may be awaiting your party upon your return.

Quote:As Leo stalks past, he can somehow "sense" the person in the room/area on the opposite side of the wall, and often gets parked while trying to figure out how to get to that second person! Weird, but true.
