Tactics
- Surrender on tribute. If the three guards are alive (tribute run), Kromcrush surrenders and lets the group past without a fight — part of the tribute route.
- Fight on clear. If the guards are dead, you must beat Kromcrush: wall-tank, stack melee, steady tank heals.
- Heavy hits. As a large ogre he hits hard in an AoE — don't spread the group.
- On x5 with level 58–60 gear the fight is short.
