Crazy Archaeologist

The Crazy archaeologist is a relatively simple boss, but a simple mistake can cause some damage to you with his area of effect attack.

The most effective way is to use Melee or Ranged and avoiding his area of effect attack. His area of effect attack casts 3 books into the air that slowly land and hit a 3x3 area. This area is centred around where the books land. It is preceded by the Crazy archaeologist yelling "Rain of knowledge!".

NOTE!! with the Crazy Archaeologist's somewhat high Magic defence, his Magic level is negligible, and thus is strong to Magic. Therefore, we it is advised to use Melee or Ranged. Keep in mind that while you can melee him, his defensive stats are very high and you cannot protect from all of his damage as you can with mage.
