Notes

Faragut is an easy solo for a Paladin because almost all of his damage is physical -- the higher your AC the less punishment you will take. If you use a paladin, remember to cast divine armor on yourself (in addition to the basic run spells) and shieldblock his attacks to reduce the damage even further. Faragut likes to gouge, disarm and attempts to stun, so resilience and true sight are always welcome.

Killing Faragut will sometimes trigger a mini-quest where you can hunt down his treasure -- a chest containing 5 million coins, some midasable junk, a decent pair of leveling earrings and one of the three items listed above (Rogue's Ring, Brigand's Cloak, ankle bracer). Other times he will summon his Spirit Avenger, a second mob that carries a healthy amount of gold coins.

Summoning the spirit avenger:

Captain Faragut cries out, 'No!  This cannot be!'
Faragut, realizing that he is dying, unleashes an ancient curse.
You see his spirit leave his body, but rather than dissipate or float away, it acquires solid form and attacks!
