Upon entering Sissirat's Lair wait for your buffs to recharge. If you are a poison ranger you may find Sissirat more difficult than a regular arrow shooting ranger.

  • If you are a high enough level to have it, use Monster Bait to the far left of the room luring the monsters away from you.
  • If the majority of the monsters take the bait and Sissirat is visible use TFF and Poison Resistance.
  • If you can use Monster Bait this step does not apply to you but can still be useful. Run into the center of the group of mobs, find Sissirat and use Righteous Stomp to clear a space for a clear shot at Sissirat. Use this continously throughout whenever possible to save time.
  • Run around the back of the remaining monsters and focus on Sissirat. She will summon Poison Broodlings but keep Sissirat as target and your range will rip through them. Use Acidic Blight to speed up the proccess.
  • After Sissirat is dead go for Rattle Toe. He has a chance to knock you back but it's not really something to worry about and is nothing compared to Sissirat.
  • As a poison ranger this may take more time as you may rely heavily on AoE skils which are mostly poison but can still be completed in decent time.
  • Clean up the remaining monster using any buffs you need to speed it up as by the time you pick up all your loot they will be recharged.
  • Also for first timers use this opportunity to get the Algor's Terror Dome Base Camp by using the one-way-trip portal after the chest room.

Mage

Recommended skills :

Image:Pyromania.jpg Pyromania Image:Shadow-lightning.jpg Shadow Lightning

  • The basic mage skills do well against Sissirat. Adding Ring of Fire, Pyromania, and especially Poison Resistance will greatly increase your chances.
  • As soon as you enter the lair, activate Pyromania and Poison Resistance.
  • Then begin blasting Rattle Toe with Fire Bolt. You can get some good damage as he charges toward you.
  • When you get surrounded blast off a Ring of Fire and then employ the Two Button Mage strategy alternating Fire Bolt and Shadow Lightning with good timing. This will take out Rattle Toe quickly and quite possibly some Broodlings too. Some people prefer to go right for Sissirat, but then you may get a lot of knockbacks from Rattle Toe.
  • When Rattle Toe is dead and his knockback potential eliminated go for Sissirat. Keep up the alternation timing and spam pots to keep your Health and Mana up.
  • Once Sissirat is done for you can go for the Venomspitters and any remaining Broodlings with Shadow Lighting.
  • Grab the purples and the gold, and then brag to the world that you have soloed Sissi!!
  • If you plan to Farm, drop a waypoint or way compass, then go through the one way portal to establish your waypoint at Algor's Terror Dome Base Camp.

Fighter

Recommended skills :


Image:Butcher.jpg Butcher Image:Cleave.jpg Cleave
Image:Righteous-stomp.jpg Righteous Stomp Image:Soul-rend.jpg Soul Rend
Image:1h-swivel-arm-action.jpgImage:2h-swivel-arm-action.jpg Swivel Arm Action - 1H or 2H Image:Poison-resistance.jpg Poison Resistance

  • Before attacking activate your buffs. Poison Resistance is vital here. It will last a short while and then take a long time to recharge. Swivel Arm and Retribution recharge much more quickly so if possible re-activate them during the battle.
  • Your problem is that you have three good attacks and only two buttons. Cleave works well on one button, and either Butcher or Soul Rend on the other. With Soul Rend on a button, you can wait until the victim turns yellow and then hit the hot key for Butcher. About every three hits with the main skill, use one hit with Cleave to cover an area.
  • Righteous Stomp will seldom affect Sissirat, and not very often get Rattle Toe. But it will clear out those pesky little Broodlings for a bit.
  • First dispatch Rattle Toe to avoid his knockback skills. Then go after Sissirat. When they are both dead you basically have no choice but to begin to chase Venomspitters. It can be frustrating, but when they are running from you they can't do much damage.
  • Grab the purples and the gold, and then brag to the world that you have soloed Sissi!!
  • If you plan to Farm, drop a waypoint or way compass, then go through the one way portal to establish your waypoint for Algor's Terror Dome Base Camp.
