Gurtok Barrier Demon is SO SO SO HARD

I defeated him with a Lvl 40 Life Wizard. Surprisingly, that was my first try.
My Secondary School was Storm.

This is what I did...

I pack up of bunch of Krakens, Centaurs, traps, blades, and healing spells.

When i use Kraken, I use windstorm, storm trap, and darkwind
When I use Centaur, I use life blade and life trap.
I also packed some thermal shields and absorb shields.
It took me 8 major attacks to bring him down.

When he put that charm on you, I just ignore it and keep what i'm normally do. But if you want to get rid of a lite ire, that would be a perfect time to use it, but make sure you dont want to use up your blades and traps, you laid on.

I beat him when I was a level 40 Myth, and he wasn't that much of a challenge at all. I thought it was easier because he doesn't have a minion like most other bosses. But, then again I had a Minotaur minion, who took a lot of damage for me and kept healing himself. I also didn't use any treasure cards (except tough). I also did not need any henchmen.

I am a level 42 or 43 fire wizard and to my shock I beat him single-handedly. Admittedly I did it on the second go, with my first attempt not really an attempt as I was low on health before the battle began so fled immediately. I stacked my deck with fire shields and converters before returning. I've certainly had much more epic battles with much weaker fire school opponents.

I must admit level 60 wizards are showing off saying it's easy, you're level 60 what do you expect?

I know! I'm a pyromancer, and he has so much health I can't get past it because of the resist! :( I know I'm supposed to use prisms, but I can only have four and that's not enough to kill it. How are you supposed to kill it when you're fire? (I am Level 50; should I level up some more before trying again?)

Since this a solo dungeon I was at around level 40. I am myth with a pet that can cast sprite. It also help to have your pet at adult or better. The better your attributes are the more chance you have. It also help to have a high power pip percentage, and having dryad in your spellbook. Fire Dragon and fire elf will give constant and steady attacks. Using feint, blades, shields and traps will give you the advantage. It took me two tries to beat him.

Try blading, shielding and using judgement at high pips over and over, and summoning a minion. And keep shields and maybe even tc judgement in side deck. Hope i helped,

What I did was, i avoided Grizzleheim. I completed Marleybone, Mooshu, Dragonspyre, and Celestia before i wokred on Grizzleheim. It made it much easier to be a legnedary Balance :D. But the only reason I came back to GH instead of working on Zafaria is, I wanted my Judgement pet SUPER bad. The Barrior Demon was stronger then I expected, but being a Balance makes it really easy :-). Make sure to have feints, Balance blade, hexes, elemental shield, and black mantle, and finally the most important of all, Judgement. Good Luck!

No one, and I mean NO ONE can use a Judgement like me.

I was talking earlier about how I was a pyromancer and I couldn't get past this. Well, I finally did it, and here are some tips on how to organize your deck for this battle if you are fire:
-Put in as many converts as you can, and helephants and other powerful fire spells to use with them. Fire blades and feints are great.
-Use ice treasure cards.
-Use life treasure cards like driad and satyr. Also, use the life spell that boosts all healing spells by 65%. It helps a lot.
-Add all pixies and other healing spells you have to your deck.
-Do not use damage over time spells such as heck hound and scald. You would need three converts for them to do significant damage.
-Do not use Wyldfire; it will benefit the boss.
-As many fire shields as you can!
-Fill the rest of your deck with damage spells of your secondary school. I did all of this and finished with over 1,000 health left.

As a balance wizard, I found him quite easy. Heres's how to beat him:
Shield. Elemental Shield or tower shield, or minus 70 shields. Make sure you keep these on you.
Blade. When you have enough shields on you, start to blade up
Trap. Same stratgegy as blading.
Heal when nessecary.
Alternate between shielding, trapping, and blading, and when you can , use judgement.
I did this without TC or feint, so I had to use multiple judgments. He's not that bad.

I actually just defeated this boss this morning, what I did was put on my 320 critical gear and used 2 feints
mythblade, spirit blade, time of legend, amplify aura, and a mythblade treasure cad and I criticaled,
and hit with orthrus, 765, and 8,795.
He was fairly easy except when I feinted he fire bladed and fire traped and then used Magma Collossus
and almost defeated me and I had to use a Pixie luckily I criticaled and healed 1,000-something.
Those are my tips!

Is he rly that hard? I'm sry to hear... All I can say is lvl 41 is a reall low lvl to be fighting a boss like that!!! Try leveling up to lvl 50 or above to increase your damage and strength. Also use treasure cards!! If you have crowns try using a storm ice r life henchman. Good luck!! I hope my balance wizard can do it.... Lol

Hehe I remember that boss, It was sooo hard for me since i was fire and forgot to put prisms. I had to use gobbler polymorph ( the only one i had at the time) and the spells it gives were so weak. Then when i ran out of those i had to use my balance spells, which i had only learned up to sand storm so i was putting strongs and giants on them. I ended up beating the boss with a critical locust swarm. Good times :'). Good Luck to everyone out there with the quest. I was level 54 when i beat him.

Finish Dragonspyre before you do more of grizzelhiem. Then start it again. I did that and had no friends and it was a breeze for me

He's not hard compared to the final bosses you need to fight to unlock Wintertusk. They are four bosses in one fight. But, we're getting carried away. Back to Gurtok. He's hard because he has lots of health, but if you just go for it and work on healing and other objectives, and not just killing, then you can win. I defeated him on level 52 because I went on to the main line of quests and went back to Grizzleheim then. So, do other quests to level you up and then go fight him again to win easy. I was on Celestia when I went on to Grizzleheim again and finished Ravenscar, because I wanted to be a higher level to prepare for Wintertusk. So if you're stuck on anything, either get a friend or get to be a higher level. But on the last boss before Wintertusk, you really probably have to get a friend. I had to at level 54 even.

I almost died when I fought him.

Then I derped around the cave looking for anything I might have missed: books on pedestals, yardbirds, chests, secret passages, rune stones, etc.

In the process, I clicked on one of the braziers.

Suddenly, I was pulled into a fight. It was the demon again, he respawned behind me when I clicked the fire.

I had to flee, and discovered that because I didn't report the result of the first battle, I had to go in and fight him all over again.

Do not click the braziers after you beat him. Just back carefully out of the room; don't touch anything.
