Notes
FAQ: How do you kill the guy in the Roundtable HoldLandmark Players have asked how to kill the guy encountered at the Roundtable HoldLandmark. Players are likely referring to Mad Tongue Alberich since he is one of the first hostile encounters in the area. Mad Tongue Alberich is an invaders so this fight is triggered once you enter his designated location in the Roundtable HoldLandmark which will be down the balcony between the two corridors when you initially are taken to this area. It is possible to miss him if you decide not to explore the Roundtable HoldLandmark. He will spawn as you run forwards towards the door. Be aware of his Bleed and Frost effects from his scythe and take note of his known attacks listed above. He has a combination of melee and magic attacks. His scythe has a long reach, so begin your encounter by putting some distance between your character and Alberich. He has a few combinations of melee swings, but these will deal a lot of damage upon impact so don't take these lightly. Wait for his melee combo to end before quickly advancing with an attack. As soon as he starts to react or retalliate, back up again and wait for his next action. During this encounter, he has the ability to heal just once throughout. When at a distance, watch for his Frost spells to avoid the potential Frostbite. At a distance, he will then also be forced to advanced and then follow up with an attack. You can also take the opportunity here to begin your set of attack actions. Continue to bait his attacks and following up with your own attack until you deplete his HP. Mad Tongue Alberich One of the more difficult invaders because of the Bleed and Frost effects of the scythe. Can be backstabbed during his bow gesture after he spawns. Can heal, but only once. When he spawns, he will bow at you waiting for him to finish before attacking will grant you the Reverential Bow gesture. A Flail with the Spinning Chain skill or a weapon with Wild Strikes is particularly effective it is possible to spawn kill him without taking any damage like this. He is very susceptible to poison. Ash of War: Poisonous Mist will poison him extremely quickly, if not instantly, and will execute faster than many of his attacks.
