I've beaten him three times now, but my god he is terrifying and hard to kill at lower levels. My 55 barb just pastes him into a wall, but I was just playing my lvl 22 necro and he almost killed me multiple times.

FRESH MEAT!

[–] Goronmon@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I think I've seen him once, around level 15-20. He killed me pretty quickly and I haven't seen him since.

I actually would have forgotten he existed if it wasn't for people pointing out he's a thing on social media.

As a lvl 50 necro I just run when I see him. He ignores all my minions and just beelines it straight to me. I could maybe take him now if I was using a golem but I sacrificed my golem for my current build.

It's a little cheesy, and ruins the fun of a Butcher attack; but you if run very tight circles around him, he can't hit you.

[–] ShakeThatYam@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Might try that next time so I can say I killed him at least once.

[–] Shiroa@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Butcher wants fresh meat, why would he go after your bony af skeltals??? Of course he went straight for you!

[–] _spiffy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I just get mad! He is a total dick and often kills me then runs away :(

[–] Vyressi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TIL this is a thing, it has not happened to me at all.

[–] ShakeThatYam@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

After I learned he existed he started popping up for me in like every 5th dungeon 😂

[–] loopgru@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

That SOB jumped me out of nowhere today while I was already dragging around half a dungeon on my necro chasing a loot goblin. Needless to say, the loot goblin lived, and I did not.

[–] VoxAdActa@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Ahh. Fresh meat!

[–] illi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I only ever managed to kill him thanks to getting conduit shrine just before encountering him. Got him to like 20% health and then barely survived the rest.

So damn right I'm still afraid of him.

[–] Jikiya@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I have only beat him once of the four times I've seen him since release. Was on a sorc, and was doing laps around a pillar while my hydra wore him down. Felt like a 15 minute fight. And I feel like there were 11 potions used. All in the name of trying to stay away from him.

[–] Sinnz@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I’m lvl 50 and I haven’t seen him once.

[–] NightSicarius@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, he still scares me. I've killed him a number of times on WT2 and WT3. Then I got to WT4 at level 65 and he's practically unkillable again. I chased a treasure goblin straight into him, so now I've taken to calling the goblins "Lazarus"... as in "The bastard led us into a trap! Now everyone is dead, killed by a demon he called the Butcher."

[–] hal9001@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Every single time. I'm 0 for 3 against the butcher

Ran into him again last night... Now I'm 0 to 4 🔪

[–] heffa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dang! Running T3 LVL 55 and I nearly got him last time... He sure moves fast for a big fella

[–] hal9001@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm at the same level. He was going so fast that my skellys couldn't even get a swipe in. I was running away, they were chasing. It was an impossible situation

[–] causal_ibuprofen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

the bastard appeared once and one shotted me. I am waiting for him to come back for a rematch

[–] pixelbounds@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I met him 3 times during one day. Honestly the first time I didn't even notice as I was chasing a treasuregoblin, when I got dropped to low health that's when I noticed the healthbar.

[–] UrbenLegend@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was a squishy level 54 sorcerer at one point and he came outta nowhere and started hunting me down like Hellboy on crack coccaine. He scared the shit out of me and I died after having whittled down his health bar to the last quarter.

I beat him once with a friend and another time when he spawned conveniently right next to a Conduit totem. If I see him again, I think I can impale him with my ice shard build, but we'll see :)

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

With my bleeds now, I absolutely cream him at any difficulty. But man, for a while it was terrifying.

[–] Talaraine@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love that he spawns randomly lol... "The Butcher" has lived rent free in my head as something to be terrified of since the OG Diablo, and it's a nice nod to have him terrorizing people now.

[–] Shiroa@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

He apparently even has special spawns. A friend of mine claims he was investigating an elite marker on the map, only to find there was nothing there. When he turned around to walk away The Butcher he claims, burst through the wall Kool-Aid Man style.
