    Dear all, I am level 43 ranger. To gain more experience, I am trying to do the Temple Sector with Excruciating mode. I have killed all some 370+ monster to deal with Sentinal. Two times, I have done it.

    1st time: Sentinel was a greedy monster which simply runs and hides forever. Unable to kill it.
    2nd time: Orzaize came, killed the mob along with it, but when I tried to kill it always, health points are keep coming back, unable to kill it.

    Any idea how to kill Sentinel in excruciating mode ? in painful mode no problems at all. Only excruciating mode this is happening to me.

    Any help would be excellent.

    I hate that Greedy Goblin. As a level 55 dwarf who easily handles Fatal SNDs, I've only managed to kill him once or twice, so I normally don't even bother: If I see his symbol (which is different than the other sentinels) pop up on the map after clearing, I just leave.

    As for your second experience, be aware that there are several different special skills which any given sentinel may possess (same sentinel may spawn with different special skills each time).

    One of the many possible skills is an HP regeneration skill which becomes more powerful at each difficulty level. So you may encounter Orzaize again next time without this skill.

    As far as killing him when he does spawn with the HP regen skill, you obviously need to do more damage than he can regenerate. At least two options here:

    1. Use more powerful essence when he has this skill (if you use White essence normally when battling sentinels, switch to Green or Blue if the sentinel has the HP regen skill activate)
    2. He won't be able to regenerate HP when he's stunned, so use your net and your bird of prey skills to stun him as often as you can, and pummel him while he's stunned … also use your wolves/ent to help distract and damage him in between
    Again, it's not just Orzaize who may have this skill; I believe any sentinel may or may not spawn with this skill (and/or others) in any given instance.

    So you may end up killing him or other sentinels 5, 10, 20 times in a row without encountering that particular skill.

    Good luck!

    There's another skill that "resurrects" the sentinel. It's the purple triangle one on the sentinel's health bar. With this skill there going to be some shields surrounding the sentinel for some seconds. When it is at this state, when you kill it it regenerate its hp. Try to kill it when there the shields are off and you're good to go.
