Notes

• Despite having the same appearance as a Skeleton Wizard, Zoldark is a fleshy creature.
• Both Zoldark and his minions are considered undead.
• His Minions of Zoldark are not considered summoned creatures; they will not trigger the full effects of anti-summon skills.

• He starts with high health and uses buffs to increase his armor rating; however, he cannot heal himself nor can he regenerate health.
• Whenever he uses Animate Undead (to restore his minions), he loses 5% of his maximum health. He will stop using the skill when his health drops to 25-50%. His health can drop suddenly when his Master of Necromancy ends.

• There are several common techniques used against him:
  • Concentrate on his minions, forcing him to sacrifice 5% of his health each time he re-animates them; you can double that effect by using Scourge Sacrifice.
  • Use melee counter skills to defend against the minions.
  • Use armor-ignoring damage against him.
  • Bring holy damage, which is also helpful to reach his lair.
