Note on the "Death slain with one shot (Magic archer technique)" ... since the encounter which has the potential for Death to die in one shot occurs immediately after a surface short cut (where an optional riftstone may be repaired), please recommend making a checkpoint save there? It may require multiple attempts to achieve the desired result.

For example, sometimes the starblaze "catches" above the stairway instead of going far enough to stun Death and knock it out (killing it when it falls). The Arisen may need to run farther down the stairway than that first landing. Sometimes Death teleports or directly pursues the Arisen almost immediately, requiring a reset... but other times it lingers, or wanders back and forth, giving an Arisen time to make a second shot (from farther down the stairs).

(Yes, I had to try it. It didn't work on the first try, but it did work another time. *grin*)
