Equipment

Armor
- Anything will do. It doesn't have to be max.
  - For some bosses, you will want a second set of high-health, max armor, for safely pulling the bosses out of their groups.
Runes & Insignias
- Use 5 Superior Runes (one for each attribute and one extra).
- Use 5 Radiant Insignias.
Weapons
- Use the -50 Grim Cesta to reduce your health to 55.
- Use a Totem Axe, Scepter of the Keeper, or any other caster weapon with +20% enchanting and +5 energy.

Usage

Run around mobs and towards the boss.
When you get to the boss, hide behind the terrain and cast Awaken the Blood. While still staying behind the terrain you plan to use, cast Spoil Victor and Price of Failure and spam other attacks.
If the boss drops anything, use Consume Corpse to teleport in and grab their drops before any foes that may spawn start attacking you.

NOTE: BECAUSE CHKKR IS OUT OF RANGE OF HIS SPIRIT, HE WON'T HEAL HIMSELF BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO SACRIFICE HEALTH FROM SPIRIT LIGHT. THIS MAKES IT TEN TIMES EASIER TO SOLO FARM HIM.'
