Usage

Exit Lutgardis Conservatory into Melandru's Hope and talk to the Kurzick Priest to get the Blessing of the Kurzicks. Run a bit north of Chkkr Locust Lord, avoiding aggroing creatures. If you do aggro any creatures, use Dash to get them away from you. If there are mantises surrounding Chkkr, wait until they move away, if they don't, start again. Use your longbow to lure him out, and when he is inside of your aggro bubble run north so no mantis will interfere with your farming. Then use Critical Eye, Palm Strike and Blinding Powder as quick as you can. Follow up with Horns of the Ox, Falling Spider and Critical Defenses. Keep using the dagger combo until Blinding Powder recharges. Blinding Powder and Critical Defenses take priority, so whenever they are recharged use them as quick as you can. Keep critical eye up at all times. The bleeding and the poison will negate the healing from Shadow Refuge. He will soon be dead.

If Critical Defenses runs out, run around Chkkr Locust Lord until Critical Defenses or Blinding Powder recharge. He might run back to his island whilst running around him - if this happens just run towards him and he'll start attacking you again.

Variants

• Fill the optional slot with whatever you like, Dash works well, or another running skill depending on your secondary profession (Sprint, Windborne Speed etc.)
• You can replace Palm Strike with Golden Phoenix Strike. This enables you to use a different Elite.
• An A/W variant can be made by replacing Horns of the Ox, Falling Spider, and Twisting Fangs with Golden Lotus Strike, Wild Strike, and Wild Blow. Way of Perfection would be placed into the optional slot.
  • Note that Wild Blow recharges fast enough to keep up Critical Defenses, but you have to watch it.
