Today we talk about how to farm Kurse for his oh so precious Gem of the Kursed. Fortunately its rather simple. Be thankful for that because if you take up this task you're going to be here for a potentially looooong time.
Kurse resides in Odin's Palace in the terminals of MH. To farm you'll need to choose either Red or Cosmic. Supposedly Green works just as well but I'm not too terribly sold on that idea being true so we're sticking with grinding out Red terminal. Its the easiest to solo for me personally but if you can wreck up a Cosmic on your own, by all means do that too.
The layout of Odin's Palace is the same. It never changes and its pretty small. I couldn't find a map on Google to show as an example so you'll have to take my word on it. The enemies inside consist of dark elves and frost giants and there's A LOT of them. For such a small zone they packed them in tight. Unlike all the other terminals Kurse isn't just waiting around for you to arrive and smack him upside the head for his loot. You have to defeat his 3 lieutenants first.
Bolverker the Raider. Boltorn the Wicked. Vidurr the Horror. If you're farming Kurse you'll either get rather acquainted with these three or you'll turn them into a puddle so fast and often you'll forget that they even have name tags. These three can appear in up to 4 different spots on the map but as there are only 3, they'll only take up 3 spots so one option will be empty. After stomping them into the dirt we can now finally take on Kurse!
Kurse isn't exactly a pushover like other bosses. *cough* Dr. Octopus *cough* He hits fairly hard even on decently geared heroes. He has a number of moves to try and defeat you but only two are really worth worrying about.
Move 1: Summoning Cannon Fodder. He summons a small number of dark elves to aid him. You may never notice this move with proper AOE because they fall over almost too fast to notice.
Move 2: Summon Dark Circle. He summons a damaging dark circle that shouldn't be stood in. Basic rule of gaming, did the ground change color? Yes? Then don't stand there.
Move 3: Leap Slam. He leaps forward and slams the ground where he lands which is usually on you. He's surprisingly accurate with it. It hurts but it can be avoided. .
Move 4: The Wind Up Punch. He charges up a punch that cleaves the area in front of him and it hurts, a lot. Don't stand in front of it. He telegraphs the punch for about 2 seconds so you have time to move.
After besting the villain known as Kurse you now get loot! The sole reason for being here! You will always get a medkit. Yay! A Kurse medallion! Yay! Some useless green or blue! Yay. . .? Occsionally an artifact that isn't the one you're looking for to get your hopes up and crush them in the same second! Booo! .5% drop chance is a bitch.
Don't fret though because if you're serious about farming you'll be back in less than 30 secs to try your luck again! And again! And again. And again. . .*sniffles*
