Been trying to kill Rend for at aleast an hour now. Anyone else able to kill him? He one shots me or nearly one shots me everytime. I cant cast natures fury or any other summonables fast enough to keep him occupied. And I cant heal my pets fast enough to keep them alive. There are 3 rends from what I seen in Labrynth now, isnt there only suppose to be one? Kinda makes Labrynth pointless because theres not even anything in there worth all the trouble that I know of. I just want to tame a reptalon.

Lure the raptalon and the other spawn away from one another with hiding. Peacemake the rend and begin taming. The monsters that do 200+ damage a hit are only beatable with really high parrying. Get some clothes and parry augments on your kas or mage armor and shield of spikes augment on your shield. That's the only way to go pretty much.

Generally it's nice to have 300 health so you can survive the initial burst, this will let you leech some life back with a retaliation hit of your own. keep rinsing and repeating until victory has been achieved. Some spells that can improve your life leech would be the necromancy spells "Curse Weapon" and "Vampiric Embrace".

This probably won't keep you alive but it could help with these kind of mobs. I could get the name of the spell wrong or which book it's from but Sacred Boon which I think is a cleric spell heals you small amounts for a period of time. . Can Help keep you alive when you take a big hit but it's definitely not gonna save you from two big consecutive hits.

Also Mirror Image can help !

stack discordance with jewels and cloth to lower rends stats. enemy of one , honor and consecrate weapon. dies fast. Use a Comp bow and AI rend.

Evasion will let you dodge his breath weapon for about 8 seconds, so if you time it correctly you can stay relatively safe throughout the fight.

Here is some info on Rend for you as well.


Also does he cast the flame field style of attack?  If so cast one where you are standing before he does, it prevents his from being placed on those tiles.  Works on the Stygian dragon.


According to that link he does purely physical damage, other than his flame attack.  So would the Necro spell that boosts your physical resistance and lowers you magic resistance help at all.  Lich Form, I think it is called.

Ok, the fireball is the problem then. So Lich Form is out, as it would decrease your resistances to magic damage as well as not being able to mount as you pointed out.


How is your Resist Magic skill?  If not maxed, it could help decrease the damage received.
If your Resist Magic skill is maxed, an Arch Blessing spell could increase the skill more as well, and decrease the damage more as a result.

Are your pets max level and are they breeder pets or ones you tamed?  2nd and 3rd generation pets are usually more resilient to damage as well as being stronger.  Normal or Bio pet?


Have you attempted the fight with more than you and your pets?  Perhaps 1-2 more players would help spread the damage out a lot, amongst the other players and their pets.

Against tough fights like the ancient and gem dragons, I hunt with at least two partners. I add them to my friends list in UOSteam and we cross heal each other. When it hits for 200-250 damage, we heal back to full in three seconds.

I killed Rend. I ran into it not knowing what I was in for, died a few times. I thought about it for a while and came up with a lame way to work it over - tried it and I took one down with only one death. It's not easy but I guess that it isn't meant to be easy. Some of these boss types really take a lot of teamwork and/or mindwork. You've got a lot of good advice here already... I'll elaborate on a little of it. His fire breath isn't one-shot at 300hp and max resist. Close but not quite. He is sometimes hitting you with the breath and melee at almost the same time, making you think it's one-shot. It's really a fast one-two combo. Energy fields properly placed could keep you from having to worry about the melee if you're using a bow. Evasion isn't guaranteed. It is slightly better than your parry chance. Five Mirror Images aren't guaranteed either but they'll probably help - and there's an ankh right outside the front door. It's not that serious. Also bard skills, as Thallos said. Bard/tamer used to be the go-to for farming almost anywhere.

Thanks for "elaborating". If you killed Rend why dont you throw some advice out on how you did it? 

I've givin up on this foul beast. Seems to be the same one closest to the entrance for over a week now. His stats havent changed anyway, and I dont think many mobs respawn with the same exact stats everytime. So I dont think anyone else is really able to kill him or no one else wants to bother. And what happened to Miasma? Miasma is never there anymore. Does the spawner have a chance to spawn a Rend instead of Miasma?

 Giving up on him is not a bad option. I killed him about two times today to see if I get anything good out of it. Mirrorimages is how I did it. But that's been suggested already.  I die 1 to 2 times every time I fight him. It's about 1700 golden random items. Not worth the fight unless you want to clear him out so you can kill other things that are needed.  Miasma is in there, just camped since he's part of the quest line.
