User blog comment:Nero the random guy/Death (pre-daimon)/@comment-24646286-20140518094852

I know this is late but trying to be on topic, Death isn't a consistent spawn in the Bloodless Stockade even in Pre-Daimon. For me he wasn't there on my very first entry into the BS (lol). Because I got shitty drops from the LA Boss in the Sparyard I had to restart from Last Checkpoint; then Death appeared. I tried NOT getting him by constantly re-zoning.....that didn't work. Restarted again from Last Checkpoint twice and he wasn't there on the second try. I've noticed that the Elder Ogre that spawns there is like a substitute. If Death has appeared there then the Ogre will NOT spawn.....as there are no enemies in the sewers at all if Death isn't already lurking there. Killing the Leapworms will not spawn the Ogre either if you already drove Death away. If Death is NOT present in the BS however than the Ogre is the one which'll be present. The Necrophagus theme starts without the screen going black and the Elder Ogre is already there feasting on the corpse in the darkness.

Killing Death as a Sorc is a massive pain in the ass. HFBs with 4x Demon Periapts even from a Sanguine Stalk take off less than a quarter of his health. 4 shots and he freakin disappears....you can't even stagger him unless you catch him unawares. Even Warriors have a better time fighting him with that convenient jumping attack. I thought my grind to 200 as a Sorc would be easy if I can kill Death over and over again.....oh how I was wrong.
