I've beaten him three times now, but my god he is terrifying and hard to kill at lower levels. My 55 barb just pastes him into a wall, but I was just playing my lvl 22 necro and he almost killed me multiple times.

I just get mad! He is a total dick and often kills me then runs away :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think I've seen him once, around level 15-20. He killed me pretty quickly and I haven't seen him since.

I actually would have forgotten he existed if it wasn't for people pointing out he's a thing on social media.

As a lvl 50 necro I just run when I see him. He ignores all my minions and just beelines it straight to me. I could maybe take him now if I was using a golem but I sacrificed my golem for my current build.

Butcher wants fresh meat, why would he go after your bony af skeltals??? Of course he went straight for you!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a little cheesy, and ruins the fun of a Butcher attack; but you if run very tight circles around him, he can't hit you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Might try that next time so I can say I killed him at least once.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TIL this is a thing, it has not happened to me at all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

After I learned he existed he started popping up for me in like every 5th dungeon 😂

I’m lvl 50 and I haven’t seen him once.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

from why i’ve seen, once you verbalize this you will get him in your next 5 dungeons or so lol

FRESH MEAT!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That SOB jumped me out of nowhere today while I was already dragging around half a dungeon on my necro chasing a loot goblin. Needless to say, the loot goblin lived, and I did not.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have only beat him once of the four times I've seen him since release. Was on a sorc, and was doing laps around a pillar while my hydra wore him down. Felt like a 15 minute fight. And I feel like there were 11 potions used. All in the name of trying to stay away from him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, he still scares me. I've killed him a number of times on WT2 and WT3. Then I got to WT4 at level 65 and he's practically unkillable again. I chased a treasure goblin straight into him, so now I've taken to calling the goblins "Lazarus"... as in "The bastard led us into a trap! Now everyone is dead, killed by a demon he called the Butcher."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I only ever managed to kill him thanks to getting conduit shrine just before encountering him. Got him to like 20% health and then barely survived the rest.

So damn right I'm still afraid of him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ahh. Fresh meat!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Every single time. I'm 0 for 3 against the butcher

Ran into him again last night... Now I'm 0 to 4 🔪

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dang! Running T3 LVL 55 and I nearly got him last time... He sure moves fast for a big fella

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm at the same level. He was going so fast that my skellys couldn't even get a swipe in. I was running away, they were chasing. It was an impossible situation

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

the bastard appeared once and one shotted me. I am waiting for him to come back for a rematch

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I met him 3 times during one day. Honestly the first time I didn't even notice as I was chasing a treasuregoblin, when I got dropped to low health that's when I noticed the healthbar.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was a squishy level 54 sorcerer at one point and he came outta nowhere and started hunting me down like Hellboy on crack coccaine. He scared the shit out of me and I died after having whittled down his health bar to the last quarter.

I beat him once with a friend and another time when he spawned conveniently right next to a Conduit totem. If I see him again, I think I can impale him with my ice shard build, but we'll see :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

With my bleeds now, I absolutely cream him at any difficulty. But man, for a while it was terrifying.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

I love that he spawns randomly lol... "The Butcher" has lived rent free in my head as something to be terrified of since the OG Diablo, and it's a nice nod to have him terrorizing people now.
