The Kratkh Shaman and how to kill him - A universal guide for levels 5 to 8
This guide will provide you with a strategy to kill the Kratkh Shaman YOURSELF in the most effective manner. I'll try to be as succinct as possible, because, like with most things in life, "learning by doing" is the way to go. Do not despair if your first attempts aren't as promising as you may have hoped - you will get better with each boss you kill.
Let's do this step by step, and I'll add complementary and summarized info about buffs, mounts and slotting at the end.
- First off, before you can enter the Old Cave, clean the Butcher's lair and then kill the Butcher himself. You know how (or read up on it in the guides provided in this section). It is a nice exercise in patience for the boss that interests us now
- Indeed, what's most important with the Shaman is that you don't try to rush it. Why? Because of a little effect called "All for one" (https://warofdragons.com/artifact_info.php?artikul_id=33835). It really is the only one that matters, so we'll be focusing on that.
- To counter this effect, you must do one thing: be at full LP when it wears off. Keep an eye on the countdown and heal up at the right moment. It'll require a bit of exercice and foresight to find the best timing, but you'll get there. Here's another motto for you: "Practice makes perfect."
- To make your life harder in adjusting your LP in just the right cadence, the Shaman uses the effect "Kretch stuff" (https://warofdragons.com/artifact_info.php?artikul_id=33834). Every block, dodge or crit takes 10% of your life points away. Alas, this can hardly be countered in a rigorous fashion... except maybe don't use Blood Elixirs or other effects of that sort.
- Nothing is lost if you miss to counter the "All for One" effect once or even twice - keep calm, be patient, you'll see three kretches appear, but they are weak and you'll easily kill them. Keep an eye on the boss's effect though. Once you're 1 vs 1 again, back to business; the shaman is stronger, but not by much.
- The rest is every fighter's bread and butter: get your enemy to 0 LP. No rocket science required, just the ability to do damage. (Note: This, of course, is easier for dodgers and bonecrushers, and for people with purple armor or better; but even I was able to do it with my all-blue heavyweight set. I wouldn't recommend this kind of gear for our level reach in general though... I digress, sorry!)
- Once the shaman is down, time to collect your earnings in the adjacent room. And then maybe find another challenge with the Spider Patriarch
Now to the requirements:
Mounts: None needed - and none desired! The effect "Shackles of Powerlessness" (https://warofdragons.com/artifact_info.php?artikul_id=28421) prevents them from using their abilities, but more importantly, the effect "Cannibalism" (https://warofdragons.com/artifact_info.php?artikul_id=33833) may provide the Shaman with 20% LP. (That's only if the mount dies during the fight, so you could still throw one as support at a later point in time.) As a last resort, use your Arkhas if available. It gives you more LP back than the Shaman gets when the mount insta-dies.
Slotting: Powder and retribution scrolls are useless here (by way of https://warofdragons.com/artifact_info.php?artikul_id=33840), so I suggest, next to your obligatory Giant Elixir and the very optional Celebration Punch/Dragon Elixir, a mix of healing scrolls and life elixirs plus some Vampire or Power Elixirs (Blood Elixirs aren't recommended because of "Kretch stuff", see above), in any combination desired, and adapted to your needs, your preferences, your armor and combat style. There's no one right way here. [Hint: I found Elixirs of breather quite helpful in place of (some) Life Elixirs or healing scrolls, as they facilitate your main task of being at 100% LP at just the right time!]
Buffs: Again, this depends on your basic stats, your set and armour, your availability (there are more challenging fights in the game to use up good buffs for, tbh), etc. Just make sure to be able to deal enough damage (so for the hopefully very few Heavyweights lvl5-8, maybe bring along a Sacrificial Elixir).
As to whether the Shaman is a boss to do alone or in group, well, it doesn't matter so long as everyone keeps checking the "All for One" effect on them. Everyone gets the rewards individually after the fight. The Kratkh Shaman can only be killed once per player per active instance, so preparation is key; don't bring along a Leroy Jenkins kinda guy *g* One thing is worth mentioning though: if you're in a two-level-group (2 players lvl7 and 3 lvl 8 for example), let one player with the lower level attack first! The Shaman will have less LP as it scales on him/her.
Enough reading, time to fight! Good fortune, warrior

“Astral Projection of Butcher” is easy to solo with common equipment and buff, I will write General points for attention and Strategies for Bonecrusher, Dodger and Heavyweight
General points for attention
1. To fight the Boss, you need kill Kretch Butcher in Kretch Lair first, then use “Astral Projector: Kretch Butcher” which you can buy in Astral Hunter
2 . You need 6 slots mana to got above 110k damage(use high quality Spirit and Mana potion)
3. You need higher vampirism to make sure not use life potion( because you need enough mana in belt)
4. Summoning is unnecessary, unless you need restores life point or you use Time-Lost Battle Tuver when the boss life less than 10%
Strategies for Bonecrusher
1. Buff: Market Elixir + Heavenly Blessings is enough for BC
2. Belt: Atshi, Punch, Giant, Spirit,the rest mana
3. Combat strategy: Just biu biu biu
Strategies for Dodger
1. Buff: Market Elixir + Heavenly Blessings + Magic Aureole+ Twilight Magic, these regular Buffs is enough. If you a bit worried the first time, you can use Fish card or Battle Skill Elixir to add vampirism.

3. Combat strategy: Use Kroffdorsand Eldives magic to add will, then just biu biu biu
