My Easy Strategy for Killing Arc Skolas (PoE 35) (Useful for Solar Week if You Don't Have Ghorn for Solar)

Direct link: https://youtu.be/6jyDHgRnFHo So I have a video showing you what we do, but here is the text version for people who don't like videos! Also Its hard to squeeze that much talking in 5 minutes of video. Requirements: [spoiler]Be level 34. Get an Arc Sniper with HIGH impact Efrideet's or LDR were great choices. Get an Arc Rocket Launcher to clear enemies if need be. Arc Primary always helps.[/spoiler] Here is how we do this first try every time once you get the hang of it. Step 1 [spoiler]Start the fight and immediately run left side. Simply Snipe the boss (I shot rockets who cares) until his chains are broken. If you took a while to get to this point clear out enemies and don't activate the mines. Using a weapons of light bubble with the Helm of Saint-14 (on the close by spawn door) will make it much easier to clear the mines because the enemies won't have spawned yet. Mines activate at 50% health. Once you cleared out all the enemies activate the mines if you didn't have the weapons of light. During this phase keep 2 guys together and send one to the other side to kill the enemies that will be spawning soon. When you activate the mines you usually have a little bit of time before enemies spawn so use that as a time to spawn kill some.[/spoiler] Step 2 [spoiler]After you clear the first mines run to the opposite side as Skolas is currently on. In the video we run right side because he is on the left. During this time more enemies will spawn. By the time you clear out the enemies Skolas should be almost to you. DPS him to around 30% at this point enemies will spawn again because of how long it takes. If you are comfortable with killing Skolas at the 30% mark hurry and finish him off before the enemies spawn. If you are not comfortable with finishing him off then swap sides again and defeat the enemies that spawn. At this point if you didn't try to finish him off he is at 30% you should have no issue finishing him before the 2nd set of mines spawn. So you will kill him before the 2nd set of mines spawn which means, no enemies will spawn. So just dismantle mines and you are done.[/spoiler] Factors you should know. -Mines spawn in 3 places, but always in different orders. -Enemies spawn after set periods of time. So kill enemies. -Skolas takes forever to travel to opposite sides of maps use this time to kill ADS. -Mines trigger at 50% health and 25% health on Skolas. This means you choose when they activate. -My strategy kills skolas before the second set of mines comes out so you have no ADS to bother you. Thanks for all the support!
