GUNTER: ACT V LISTER
Lister's minions can't be Taunted, but they can be stunned. I didn't want to start off in the middle of Lister's pack, so I backed off a little. When the pack appeared, I spammed War Cry, stunning all of Lister's minions, and cast Battle Cry to reduce the amount of damage Lister himself could deliver.
The plan worked well at first. My merc managed to kill two of Lister's minions before I ran out of red and blue potions and had to go back to town.
However, I did run into some problems after that. My merc started focusing on Lister which I thought was great, but every once in a while Lister would knock me and my merc back. Knocking me back meant that some of Lister's minions would wake up from their stuns and move around. Knocking my merc back meant that sometimes my merc would switch targets and would start attacking a minion. With my merc spreading his attacks over several targets, he wasn't killing anything and Lister was healing faster than my War Cry alone could deal damage. After making two trips to town to refresh potions without having killed anything, I decided it was time to switch tactics.
I decided to break up the pack and take out Lister first. I came back into the Throne of Destruction and stunned the pack. Then, I ran out of the room. Since Lister was the only monster who wasn't stunned, he was the only one who followed my merc and I out of the room. Now that Lister was alone, we were able to take him down easily.
Then we went back into the Throne of Destruction and I held down the minions while my merc took them out.
Gunter passed the test and defeated all of Baal's minions. He could now enter the Worldstone Chamber. Can he stop Baal before he dooms the world?
