[Age of Conan] Defeating Har-Shebes

Today I will talk about the 3 bosses you face (two of them I believe are optional) when you do your Level 60 Destiny Quest boss to retrieve the last piece of the Medallion. The final boss is very easy, although there is a trick to him. The other 2 are slightly harder, specially the two dogs.

When you enter the Cave in Thunder River you will need to travel through the tunnels to reach each boss. To reach the final boss, Har-Shebes, you will need to approach one of the pools of blood. One of those pools will have an underwater tunnel to another area. On that new area there's a door. Open it and go once again underwater to reach the zone where Har-Shebes is.

Kurbankohl the Cursed

Kurbankohl Pillars

When you reach the room the boss is in a fix location. He will not move and will cast spells on you. Just approach him if you are melee or nuke him from a distance if you are ranged. He shouldn't give you much problem. After a certain time, however, two beams of light appear in the area (see Picture 1 for details). Kurbankohl will teleport to one of these beams and becomes immune to any form of damage. For him to return to his original position and become vulnerable again you need to move towards the other Beam. Keep doing this until he is dead.

If you are melee save those charge skills to quickly get on top of Kurbankohl. Apart from that he should give you no problem. Once you are victorious collect your reward and move onto the next boss.

Labros and Theron

This boss are two dogs called Labros and Theron. This was, in my opinion, the hardest fight of all. You will find them standing next to each. This is a fight with 3 phases.

Safe Zone

Phase 1
The first phase starts as you get close to Labros and Theron. They will become friendly and you can't attack them. They will keep running around the room. Some fires will pop from the ground and will damage you with fire damage if you get close to them. To avoid all this just stand on the stone ledge (see picture). You can stay there for as long as you like and regen your health back to 100% if you need to.

Phase 2
To make the dogs stop running around and become targettable you need to blow the horn at the end of the room. When you blow the horn, both dogs will fall asleep where they are and become enemies. You should probably focus on killing one of the dogs first, I always go for Theron. If you do this you should probably wait until the dogs are far apart so you don't accidentally hit the other. While the dogs are asleep they will regen health very fast, so you want to stay in phase 2 as little as possible.

Phase 3
When you hit a dog and he wakes up he will cast a fire breath spell which you should probably move away from. They will both remain asleep or attacking you for a few seconds. Just before they switch back to Phase 1 they will once again do their fire breath attack. Just keep repeating until both are dead. If you focus on one single dog and you bring him down then the other dog will no longer switch back to Phase 1 but he will still cast the fire breath attack as if he would.

Har-Shebes

This boss is quite easy once you realize what you have to do. When you enter you will see a bunch of minions around Har-Shebes, which is standing in center of a platform.


Har-Shebes has an aura and if you are in line of sight and/or on the platform you will take damage. So first of all, hide behind a pillar. Take your time during this phase, there is no rush and as long as you are behind a pillar you take no damage.

You should notice that from time to time one of the minions gets larger. This will cycle through all minions in a random order. You need to kill the enlarged minion, which also has a couple of light orbs cycling above him, before the buff passes on to another minion. If you kill one of the others, or the buff passes to another minion before you finish the one you attacked, it will respawn. Keep doing this.

At some point, when there are only 4 minions left, Har-Shebes shield will vanish. When this happens you should jump on the platform and start doing damage on Har-Shebes. There are a few frost spikes occupying half of the platform and cycling counter-clockwise around Har-Shebes. They do some damage and it's best to just stay ahead of them.

When he is very very low on health (close to 20%), he will raise his shield once again and you have to step out of the platform, hide behind a pillar and finish off the last 4 minions same way you did the first 6.

Once all are dead Har-Shebes will start casting a spell lasting around 4 seconds, let him finish because this spell will knock you back several meters. Once he finishes go fast on the platform and start nuking Har-Shebes because he will start casting a long-cast spell which, if he ends casting it, it will one-shot you. You can interrupt this spell but he will start recasting it. Like I said, the boss is easy once you know what to do.


That's it, hope you enjoyed.
