Hermit God - Quest
The Hermit God can be dangerous if you are not potted. The Hermit minions cast Paralyze and tend to gang up on people. The Hermit tentacles will chase you around and if you happened to be paralyzed, both minions and tentacles can cause problems for people that are not potted too much. Kill all the tentacles and the Hermit will appear for some time. The Hermit shoots piercing shots, shots that blind and some tentacles appear. All of this can be troublesome for very small groups. Unfortunately for the Hermit, tons of people usually show up killing it in less than a minute to get into its Ocean Trench dungeon.
If the Hermit appears in Godlands or on another Quest event, this can become a very dangerous area, specially for robe and leather armor classes.
Pot Drops - DEX, VIT
Item Drops - Helm of the Juggernaut
Portal Drop - Ocean Trench dungeon (100%)
Level 15 to level 20 - no stats potted
I do not recommend doing this guy in small groups or even solo unless you are a solo rogue then you can cloak on your way in damage and kill the tentacles back out, repeat until Hermit appears. For any classes, when the Hermit appears, take care that you don't get paralyzed by stray minions.
Level 20 - at least DEF potted
Potted with Max DEF will help you here but you will have better luck as a 4/8 or better. Be aware of the Hermit minions with their paralyze shots. It is helpful if you can find a Paladin or Warrior and try to fight beside them to benefit from their boosts. The Hermit almost always dies fast because of the large group attacking it so make sure that when it appears you are shooting it as soon as possible.
Notes on Classes:
Rogues - Upotted or potted, cloak as you get close to the tentacles, be aware of the paralyzing minions shooting at others, repeat.
Assassin - Chuck poisons at groups of tentacles to help clear them. If you are with a large group fighting the tentacles then don't bother saving your poisons for the Hermit, because they won't have time to work. just use your dagger.
Piercing classes - These types of weapons are a big help in mowing down the tentacles and minions.
Knight - If you have max DEF then stun groups of tentacles, don't waste your stuns on the paralyzing minions. Save some stuns for the Boss.
Sorcerer - Use your scepter to help damage many tentacles and minions as possible.
Warrior - Use berserk and destroy the tentacles, forget about the minion unless they are in your way. Help finish the boss off.
Ninja - Your katana with its piercing will mow down the tentacles. Save your shuriken for the boss though to help get soul bound damage.
Wizard - Save the spell bomb for the boss. Use your mobile meat shields for protection and destroy the tentacles.
Paladin - Activate your ability for the big damage and wipe out the tentacles. The boss will be easy and quickly dispatched.
