    The damage is neither physical nor magical (its just... damage) and cannot be blocked or reduced as far as I'm aware.

    Bramble hood, the veno skill that reduces all damage by 75%, is useless against it.

    nope, nothing helps.
    That AOE mob does a fixed amount of DMG.
    It sucks, cause basically a wizard, veno or an archer especially in the low lvls have no chance to survive. As for a barb or BM, they just tick the charm. Worst is room 47 ofc.
    Would be nice if that AoE mob would do the dmg based on class not on lvl. But yeah, PWI, if u expect something fair, look elsewhere.

    One trick to pass that room (47) at low lvl: Wait until a high lvl gets in the same room - let him enter and run down the timer. When he's 10-15 sec on the clock, depending on your lag, you enter the room. AoE from the mob in the middle will stop as soon as his timer runs out- he teleports out, so you can spend the rest of the time in a corner peacefuly killing only the mob that aggroes you.
    I did this many times in the past, while I was lvl 80ish, and there was basically no way for me to pass 47 even with event food. But back then cube was a living place, I'm still doing it as a daily, but now is like an deserted planet. I don't think I saw a char in it in the last 3 or 4 days... Waiting in 14 or 34 for someone to PK is just a waste of time now.

    I'm only talking about room 47 here since the rest are pretty much pass-able by any class.

    Apothecary pots work, like ironguard powder makes you invincible for 12 seconds...but ofc you can't use it all the time =)

    yea, so does the imune to dmg after spark.
    But strangely enough, every time I tried to spark I got double hitted right after the spark imune ran off. So yeah, helps, but u can get royaly screwed also.
