Strategy: As they only cause Physical Damage you need to have a blocker if you want to hunt them. A Warrior around level 35 with decent skills and gear is able to block it. Kill it as fast as possible so the Warrior does not need too much healing. The most efficient way is to stand south in the room next to the teleport with 2 demon skeletons summoned. The Black Warrior will spawn north and come. The Warrior tanks it and both the Warrior and the Mage attack it in full def so the shield is broken and the DS can do more damage. As a mage you might want to be careful and use manashield as they can change targets and combo you easily. Keep in mind that the BK spawn is really slow (18 mins).

Higher characters can easily solo these if they find themselves bored in Venore. All vocations should GFB the Scorpions and Beholders first so they won't break your shield, trap you or drain your mana. Mages should just run him and keep shooting Sudden Death Rune. Heal if your health drops below 400-450. Scouts should use Bolts and Sudden Death Rune. Warriors should use melee and Explosion Runes to speed up the killing.
