I’ve beaten him three times now, but my god he is terrifying and hard to kill at lower levels. My 55 barb just pastes him into a wall, but I was just playing my lvl 22 necro and he almost killed me multiple times.
As a lvl 50 necro I just run when I see him. He ignores all my minions and just beelines it straight to me. I could maybe take him now if I was using a golem but I sacrificed my golem for my current build.
Butcher wants fresh meat, why would he go after your bony af skeltals??? Of course he went straight for you!
It’s a little cheesy, and ruins the fun of a Butcher attack; but you if run very tight circles around him, he can’t hit you.
This is the only way I’ve beaten him on necro. Why does he ignore minions? He even ignored my golem. I just did laps around him while my skeletons took swipes at him until he died.
Might try that next time so I can say I killed him at least once.
I’m lvl 50 and I haven’t seen him once.
from why i’ve seen, once you verbalize this you will get him in your next 5 dungeons or so lol
Same here. Lvl 55 + 28. Didn’t know he existed until just now. Spoilers!
Been playing since the poor man’s launch and I’d never seen him til yesterday. Saw him 3 times yesterday and once today. I’m wondering if they boosted the spawn rate, it increases with level (I’m 72) or I just have weird luck.
TIL this is a thing, it has not happened to me at all.
Reminds me of old school Diablo in that he just appears randomly in dungeons out of the blue. He’s relentless and hard to kill.
If it’s anything like what happens to me you’ll try to escape only to get murdered mercilessly. I just accept my fate and get it over with now.
Happened to me twice now, but was a cynic like you until I became a pants shitter.
After I learned he existed he started popping up for me in like every 5th dungeon 😂
lol, that’s the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon, you go around town doing your errands and someone mentions that there’s a bear loose and you’re like “I haven’t seen a thing” and then the next day the bear is following you around.

Every single time. I’m 0 for 3 against the butcher
Haha snap me too
Ran into him again last night… Now I’m 0 to 4 🔪
Dang! Running T3 LVL 55 and I nearly got him last time… He sure moves fast for a big fella
I’m at the same level. He was going so fast that my skellys couldn’t even get a swipe in. I was running away, they were chasing. It was an impossible situation
That SOB jumped me out of nowhere today while I was already dragging around half a dungeon on my necro chasing a loot goblin. Needless to say, the loot goblin lived, and I did not.
I only ever managed to kill him thanks to getting conduit shrine just before encountering him. Got him to like 20% health and then barely survived the rest.
So damn right I’m still afraid of him.
I think I’ve seen him once, around level 15-20. He killed me pretty quickly and I haven’t seen him since.
I actually would have forgotten he existed if it wasn’t for people pointing out he’s a thing on social media.
I met him 3 times during one day. Honestly the first time I didn’t even notice as I was chasing a treasuregoblin, when I got dropped to low health that’s when I noticed the healthbar.
In one day?! Damn, dude was farming you for treasure hahaha.
Haha indeed! I saw him a total of 4 times in one session yesterday. Never saw him before that. I find that weird
FRESH MEAT!
I just get mad! He is a total dick and often kills me then runs away :(
Still haven’t seen him yet… I’m scared.
Ahh. Fresh meat!
Yes, he still scares me. I’ve killed him a number of times on WT2 and WT3. Then I got to WT4 at level 65 and he’s practically unkillable again. I chased a treasure goblin straight into him, so now I’ve taken to calling the goblins “Lazarus”… as in “The bastard led us into a trap! Now everyone is dead, killed by a demon he called the Butcher.”
I love the butcher mechanic. Definitely been splattered a few times by him, but it’s a very fun feeling hearing him in later levels.
