I'm a ranger. I try keeping my distance but he just burrows underground whenever i get a safe distance.

This is from the Closed Beta, but shouldn't be too different in the Open Beta:

thanks I actually just did this strategy with 2 NPCs (how come it only lets you invite them sometimes and not other times?) and I killed the boss in 6 minutes as a lvl 13 I finished the run in 14 min but with 70% for the required enemy kills... I thought i had to do it in 13 min but I guess I can take a little more time for those kills now

Thanks everyone for the help

Basically, if a mission has a multiparty area, and someone else has already invited that NPC, it's greyed out.

I'm playing there myself trying to get an S rank.

Failing though, but the boss itself is the least of my problems. I've found you don't really need NPC's for him.

If you're Force that is, I've found Great Swords work best. Just stay up close and in his mid section. Alot of his attacks will miss if you're close enough. If you block at the right time you can still just continue comboing him off that block.

Some hints, when he burrows underground, start charging a move. You have about 3-5 seconds when he pops out of the ground. Just remember to charge the move and walk around, not in a circle though just a straight line. When he pops out let him have it.

When he's in that rage thing, you might want to back off a bit and use charge or long distance moves.

His attacks are too fast to attack and block properly, and if you get hit, chances are you can get hit again.

All of this only applies if you're Force though. Also head shots take off more damage just so you know.
