I did the same thing a week or so ago. I even posted about it. Then I learned once you are down to your last portal you can just respawn him by starting another map (whichever Elder spawned on). And you get 6 more tries, rather than risking your last portal. FeelsBadMan

Can you eli5, please? I'm not sure what this is supposed to achieve o__o

if you are unsure that you can kill him before you die on your last portal, you can restart the fight with another map where elder spawned, so you guarantee to not lose any boss drops.

Hmmm, I used my last portal a few times and elder seemed to stay where he was :? Does that remove chance to despawn entirely?

Surlix•

let me explain this way: You died on Uber elder on your last portal and afterwards some Dot killed him. (Or you died to his Explotion after you killed him)

Now the loot drops while you look at the "Ressurect in Town". You know there are no portals left and the feeling of despair fills your mind. Maybe even a Watcher's Eye drops, but no, you can't pick it up.

But now also the Elder influence is gone and you need to wait for his next spawn again. That's what u/ThatMatters wrote about, so he has still a safety cussion for the loot

This is not possible in uber elder of which this screenshot is from.

why would this not be possible with uber elder?

You have 1 portal left, you open another uber elder, you still have to pay 4 fragments?

yeah and then? you can reset the fight and not end up dead with all the loot around your corpse and a despawned uelder.

I don't understand why they put in the delayed explosion after he dies. Zana's shield animation doesn't even match the end of the explosion effect...

This was uber elder, there's no zana shield

There's still a delayed explosion.

There is no delayed explosion, unless elder was channeling his nova before death afaik.

That exact moment when you realise dumping all skill points to damage nodes was not that great idea.
