I Was Not Expecting You, Human (Achievement)
By lucifer
Hello all. Today I'm going to introduce you to one-shot low level character.
It's just simple demolitionist with maxed Grenado skill! The main thing you should remember. Do not let enemy hit you many times, otherwise you'll die =)

Build
It's so simple I suppose you will have 14 points in grenado (I don't actually remember)
Link to build[www.grimtools.com]

Have fun guys. Thanks for attention!

Leveling
When you talk to Bourbon and he gives you a question to kill Reanimator, try to get pistol from zombies in Lower crossing. Also you will need at least 3rd level to go after Reanimator. For the start u can use Fire strike and Flame touched skills. Do not forget to gather Aetherial crystals they will be helpful for restoring devotion shrines and completing quest from Kasparov which gives you extra skill point. Even without pistol you can kil Reanimator from melee, but don't forget to use your constitution level to get out of a battle and regenerate your HP level. Don't forget to take the first devotion shrine in the cave where reanimator lives. When you return to Bourbon you'll probably receive 5th level (including Kasparov quest). Barnabas also will give your some easy xp by bringing him 5 pieces of scrap. Next you go inside Devil's crossing "town" and get quest about Milton Hart. You'll meet him while going ahead next locations by west-north side (read quest description). Before reaching unerground passage to Burrwich you should have 7th level (and there's also second devotion shrine you need). Return to town and reset all your points and learn Grenado. Then when you return to passage you'll easily kill boss guarding exit. When you get to Burwich try not to kill anyone (you should assign left mouse button Move and right button Grenado. You'll only kill some enemies in the place where Kasparov's assistant is and outside it where the third shrine is. Some more enemies you'll have to kill near the entrance to underground of Krieg's estate, because of big amount of them blocking your way. Next you'll find the fourth devotion shrine in this underground. Use 4 your devotion points to unlock Lion constellation to have extra fortitude. You'll also take most of your's stat points into physique to get more health and don't die if something goes wrong. You'll probably be near 9th level for that time. Just go through laboratory and don't focus on enemies. You can achieve 10th level (if youre not already) near Krieg's room. In his room you just run around him and throw grenado into him. You can open riftgate in his room to ensure you can return directly to him. Don't get close to him when he's on the second phase and don't get into green wave (it stuns).
Another usefull tips
1. Don't pay attention to rifts guarded by mobs. This extra time and extra experience not worthy it.
2. You shouldn't have any xp above 10th level when entering to Krieg, because the kill of Krieg gives you experience and you also will have to kill all enemies entering to Krieg's room after you.
3. I had a success after 3rd character. Pay attention to what I've noticed before. Because I had 10th level on second character and got 11 after Krieg's death and didn't receive achievement because of that.
4. Prepare some healing potions from money you already receive from selling trash.
5. Buy rings if you can, use some enchants on clothes.

Devouring swarm, all points, spirit attribute focus. Hardest part is not OVER leveling. Best bet, run straight to krieg, dropping portals as you go. Don't turn in quests, don't shoot swarms unless the forward path is completely choked with foes. You WILL be level 7 by the time you enter Kriegs basement, 8 if you're unlucky, 9 if you're really unlucky. You may need to level up to 10 for a few extra mastery points to boost hp. Once past big double door, drop a portal and warp back to the start of the dungeon. Kill until you JUST reach the peak of level 9. Less than half a bar off of 10 is fine. Krieg summons a handful of trashmobs at the start. Dump points from 10 into mastery. Hit n run with the swarm.

I overleveled twice just plowing the road to get to him, so avoid fighting just about as much as possible.

Probably goes without saying guys, make sure you are in veteran mode, or you wont get the award.

The Warden can be also killed by Inquisitor's Stormbox of Elgoloth. Just use it on him and run in circles, evading his attacks and never moving far from him.

There's also the posibility to put a Scavenged Plating on the belt (getting the +15 it provides on every armour piece), Vindictive Flame (for another +10 HP/s raw at 1 point invested) as well as a Battered Shell on the shield (for a higher chance to block a static amount of incoming damage as well as 15 Phys for 37.5 raw HP).

All in all a min-maxed build should probably be capable of reaching 2k-ish HP by Krieg at 100+ HP/s which should tank him no matter what - even if you don't use ridiculous stuff like Lokarr Set.

Any Aether resistance (and Bleed for his crossbow IIRC) will increase the effective regen of that massively. Considering that a level 15 Demo only has +53 Phys and +360 HP (which is only 132.5+360 for 490.5) for somewhere around 1.3k-ish total HP you regen your entire life in 10 seconds without any Constitution regeneration.

Still cheesy - but not as much as having a lvl X someone else do it ^^

If you use a weapon agnostic skill (like Grenado) to kill Krieg I'd recommend getting "Pusquill's Tail" MI from Pusquill in the random placed cave just past the Burial Hill as well as a "Sisters Amulet of Lifegiving" on a second character along with a Slith Ring (from the Rover faction questgiver in Wightmire), two Corpsedust augments as well as as many Bristly Furs you can get and any "of Mending" suffixed gears (most commonly found on shield and belt) and stash that.

Put the Corpsedust on the Slith Primal Rings, wear the Amulet as well as the "of Mending" gear, this should net you around (17+17+10) 44 HP/s regen + 16 from Lizard for 60 base with a +25% from Lizard and 2*+24% from Corpsedust for +73%, resulting in a net raw (60*1.73) 103.8 HP/s regen. Equip Pusqill's Tail for ~200 bonus HP.

Ha, funny. Way back when I got this achievement I used Grenado too!

Having a friend help you is cheating IMO, I did it with pets
