Hellborn
In the extracted data; current availability not verified
- Health
- 2200
Weakness and approach
- Weakness
- Water/choke counterplay and high-damage ranged hits; explosive resistance was increased in 2.7.
- Approach
- Find it in Mammon’s Gulch using its Dark Sight sound. Use solid cover and lateral movement against projectile volleys, and avoid being trapped by a charge. Water Bottles and chokes are useful counterplay. Keep healing/fire protection ready.
- Pitfalls
- Do not reuse old fixed Sticky Bomb percentage claims as current guarantees. It auto-banishes on death and drops one of Death Cheat, Relentless, Rampage or Remedy under the 2.7 rules.
Where to find it
Hellborn is on Mammon's Gulch. Listen for its sound in Dark Sight.
Weaknesses and resistances
Water and choke work against it, and so do heavy ranged hits. Its explosive resistance went up in 2.7, so old Sticky Bomb percentages are out of date.
Dangerous attacks
It fires volleys of projectiles and charges. Fire is part of the fight, so keep healing and fire protection ready.
Ways to clear it
Cheap or quiet
I don't have a sourced quiet method for Hellborn.
Fast
Heavy ranged hits from solid cover.
Safer
Use solid cover, move sideways against its volleys, and don't let a charge pin you in a corner. Water Bottles and Choke Bombs are useful counterplay. Keep Salveskin or healing in mind for the fire.
Keeping the loot
It banishes itself when it dies. Under the 2.7 rules it drops one of Death Cheat, Relentless, Rampage or Remedy.
Mistakes to avoid
- Relying on old fixed Sticky Bomb percentages.
- Fighting in the open without cover from its volleys.
