	Nihlathak remains somewhat dangerous in v1.11, but the damage and radius of his Corpse Explosion has been reduced to reasonable levels, and he's now killable by any character type, and ranged attackers, Bowazons especially, can put him down without ever entering the danger zone of his Corpse Explosion range.		Nihlathak remains somewhat dangerous in v1.11, but the damage and radius of his Corpse Explosion has been reduced to reasonable levels, and he's now killable by any character type, and ranged attackers, Bowazons especially, can put him down without ever entering the danger zone of his Corpse Explosion range.

	Skills that destroy corpses are helpful to employ around him, especially if they can be used from some distance, such as some of the Druid's Vines, or the Paladin's Redemption. Necromancers can have the most fun, fighting fire with fire by using their own Corpse Explosion skill. Items that grant "Slain Monsters Rest in Peace" such as the [ [Unique_Rings\|Nature's Peace Unique Ring]], are also useful. Cold attacks can help by shattering the corpses, but the Ice Spawn that surround Nihlathak are immune to cold in Hell, so can not be shattered on that difficulty level.

	[[Image:Mon-nihlathak01.jpg\|frame\|left]]Battling Nihlathak is a unique experience. He is a summoner, and he presides over a vast mob of [[Minion]]s and uses them as his weapons. He has no melee strikes at all, and only a chilling Arctic Blast spell for direct damage. The real danger comes from his use of the [[Necromancer_Poison_and_Bone#Corpse_Explosion\|Necromancer's Corpse Explosion skill]], which he uses to detonate the corpses of fallen monsters. These explosions deal substantial fire and physical damage, and prior to being considerably nerfed a bit in v1.09, Nihlathak was the single most dangerous monster in Act Five. Hardcore characters virtually never risked him, and only very high hit point builds, such as Druids teamed with Barbarians, felt safe risking his 1000+ damage Corpse Explosions.
