Can someone give me a little help with how to kill the wizard? He is though! Can't seem to kill him with my magic and I'm out of minions before he's even half....Is there a strategy to kill him?

Thanks

Hey. My advice to you is to have some fun before you engage the last quest. It seems once you've killed him there's no way of playing again unless you load a save or start again.

Anyway. I managed to have 200 of each type of minion, and after 2 tries I got the tactic.

Basically, when he has a Green Aura you use your green Minions to attack him, when he has the gold you use your Brown minions etc etc. When he got to ~50% and switched to the phase where he runs around the room owning you I just popped my minions out of the hole when the bubble was up and put them back in the hole when he was running around the room. If you stand to one of the sides where your minion holes are you'll never get hit when he runs around the room so the only threat will be that of the minions he spawns.

It'll probably seem like ages for you to kill him, I think it was around 30 minutes with me as it took ages for my minions to deal damage to him. However, when the Green Bubble came up I sent 10 Green Minions on him and he went from 30% to 5% health in a matter of seconds.

Hope this helps and I wish they would let you play the game after you have killed the Wizard.

If you want me to try to be clearer I will try again
