The Breakdown

Elial The Mercenary uses the class Berserker which is a melee DPS class with powerful abilities and buffs like Improved Berserk Rage. His sword, Riftrender causes him to deal Ethereal damage which will ignore 25% of your armor mitigation. This is a problem obviously because without a high amount of Ethereal Resistance, combined with his massive Strength stat he will kill you in one or two hits. His most dangerous attacks are Critical Strike, Multistrike, and Cleave, as well as Improved Berserk Rage.

Tactic 1: Dragon Mob

A straightforward tactic with minimal investment. Have a group of at least 5 dragons some with high HP to take him down and resurrect with Primal Rebirth and Primal Restoration when necessary. It is recommended to bring Geleon's Master Scroll and a dragon or two with the tech kit Drulkar's Retribution applied to reduce his strength.

Tactic 2: Ethereal Dragon Tank(s)

This tactic has a decent amount of investment built into it but will vastly increase your survivability. Using an ancient dragon with a Ethereal armor set using Defense: Ethereal Resistance V The set should look like this

- Head - Priceless Scale: Defense: Ethereal Resistance V + Radiant Ethereal Jewelry Crystal
- Chest* – Priceless Scale: Defense: Ethereal Resistance V + Saris Stone of Friendship
- Forelegs – Priceless Scale: Defense: Ethereal Resistance V + Radiant Ethereal Armor Crystal
- Back – Priceless Scale: Defense: Ethereal Resistance V + Health V
- Hindlegs – Priceless: Defense: Ethereal Resistance V + Health V
- Tail** – Priceless Scale: Defense: Ethereal Resistance V + Health V

*Can be replaced by the Ceremonial Chest Scale for +50 Ethereal Resist, while also decreasing the damage of his hard hitting abilities by 25%. The Drulkar's Retribution tech kit can also be used instead of the Ethereal Resist for 5% chance to reduce his strength by 80%.

**Can be replaced by Reklar Tail Scale of Power for 25% less melee damage.

For more ethereal armor, consider using Void Crystal of Form, Violet Crystal of Kal'enas' Shell, and Armor of the Watcher. Combat Stance: Soldier will reduce your damage taken by 5%, Geleon's Master Scroll is also a valuable item to use as it reduces his damage by 75% for a minute and Gift of Health and Enhance Health scrolls to help increase your HP pool.

As the tank, try to keep damage on yourself with Menacing Presence, while slowing him down with Staggering Howl and Gold Rage/Breath of Ice. You can use Protection if desired.
