Hermit God (Rev. 3)

Last updated: 12.0.0

This squid-like creature with a shell was sent by Oryx to terrorize the pirates, dismantling their vessels with ease. Davy Jones was dragged down to the depths of the sea, and imprisoned in the ruins of his once powerful ship. This location is now known as Davy Jones's Locker.
When Thessal came along, she was captivated by this Hermit God. She knew Oryx wouldn't approve, so she secretly slipped the key to her trench of residence in its shell. This is why the Hermit God drops the entrance to the ocean trench.

Tips and Strategies

Warrior tips
Warrior is one of the best classes to do Hermit God, and this event is recommended for obtaining the coveted Helm of the Juggernaut. (Knight can solo it too). With 40+ def, warrior can easy kill all Hermit Minions and the Hermit Tentacles, at Phase 2 & 3 don't worry about whirlpools (if you have >42 def they only do 7 dmg) and shoot the Hermit God, Crystal Sword is maybe the best sword to use at phase 2. At phase 3 to do heavier damage use a Skysplitter Sword OR Sword of Acclaim.

Knight tips
The knight can stun and keep stunning Hermit God at phase 3, use a Tier 4+ shield or snake skin if you don't have a Tier 4 shield. The knight can have +60 def if maxed so Hermits would be more easy soloing than warriors. Ogmurs are also useful, but the stun is vital if soloing to prevent accidental death caused by paralysis by the minions.
