Enjoy this farm, it’s actually very easy once you master the timing cause getting to him is def fast and easy. Also it is funny cause he actually kills himself in the end with his self sacrifice skills LOL.

Craw Stonereaper is a necro curse boss. He will use the following skills against
You.
Parasitic Bond - Hex Spell. Sacrifice 20% max health. For 8-18 seconds, target foe receives only two-thirds Health from healing.
Suffering - For 6-25 seconds, target foe and all nearby foes suffer health degeneration of 2.
Defile Flesh – Hex Spell. Sacrifice 20% max health. For 8-18 seconds, target foe receives only two-thirds Health from healing.
Lingering Curse {elite} - Sacrifice 10% max Health. Target foe loses all enchantments. For 8-20 seconds, target foe grants only half Health from healing spells.
I soloed this guy probably 25-30 times before my first drop. Since then I get it
On average once in 5-7 trys. The staff is worth 30K and may be trending down
However I wouldn’t sell it for less then 25K because this is a perfect curses staff
And SS necro is a popular build.
Here is where you can find him - see pic
You leave from Altrumn Ruins from Arborstone exit. Go north a little Turn and run west.
As you approach the first group you need to
Hit “Balanced Stance” this keeps them from knocking you down. You could
Use dolyak, however it makes you walk slower. Sometimes you will get
Crippled, not to worry, hit “I Will Survive” Then just keep walking straight,
Craw Stonereaper will be to your right down a corridor, however you need
to keep Walking straight, you will come back. Once the crippled wears off hit
“Sprint” the bad guys will break agro on you so just keep running till they do.
Now that you are free of pursuers turn around. If they followed you all the way
To the lower stairs chances are they will stop at the top at the first set of stairs
To lay a spirit that will cripple you again, just wait till they lay it and they will
Run away. Sometimes they run then walk back towards you a little then run
So just wait till they are away enough that you don’t agro them when you go
Into the doorway to the corridor where Craw is. Also either kill the spirit or
Try to squeeze by it without triggering it; I am able to do this 90% of the time.
Now you are ready to kill him. I usually engage him immediately, however if
He is way far back from the doorway you have to try and pull him closer so that
The Elementalist boss in the far corner doesn’t accidentally hit your agro while
Fighting this boss because he will KILL you fast if he does. After you have him
In safe place to avoid agroing either the group behind you or the Elementalist
Boss then just start whacking him. You will notice serious degen on you, this is
A good thing. Just whack at him and watch your health go down.
Don’t use your slashes yet. DO NOT HEAL YOURSELF YET. Wait till your health is below 60,
sometimes I wait till 40, But you are playing with fire so be careful.
I’m very experienced at this so I Don’t hesitate to let it get that low.
Use your discretion. Once it gets as low as you dare let it hit “Grenths Balance”
You will be healed 100% and he will lose half his health. Now same thing,
whack at him and watch your health Go down, AGAIN DO NOT HEAL, when your health is below 60
hit “Grenths Balance” Again his health will drop about 50% of what he had.
Now is the tricky part. Hit “Dolyak Signet” and keep whacking on him.
Then start hitting “Healing Signet” over and over when you see his health is a sliver.
Hit “Sun And Moon Slash” and “Final Thrust” then go back to healing.
He will die by self sacrifice and the damage from your slashes.

Notes & Concerns:
In order to kill him without dying you have to be very careful with timing.
If you do it the way I have described you should only use Grenths Balance 2 times.
Also you will note you don’t have to interrupt him at all and you only use your
high damage slashes at the very end and usually once is enough.
Credit: Myself for being stubborn
Enough to farm this guy 25-30 times perfecting this build, cause DAMANIT I
WANTED THIS STAFF… LOL.
