6th Boss: Astralwalker
There are multiple ways to tackle this boss. One way (as shown in video) is to use Herc. The other method is to use a Barbarian.
Herc Method
Position Herc near one of the chains (or bridge, should you want to tank it there). Halt it, make sure it only has def and mdef buff, and put it on manual. Climb the chain (just walk, run, jump, whatever) in farthest healing range. When Astralwalker gets close enough he will aggro Herc, then you heal Herc. During the battle, Astralwalker will spawn minions. Depending on what chain you are on, you can go awhile without having to fight one. Your heal pet will draw aggro of the minions, but they won't be able to hit you due to your distance. Just keep healing, bring an extra veno if you're worried.
Barbarian Method
I haven't done this method very often, but have the Barbarian tank the boss (Astralwalker does weaker damage compared to other bosses). Have the rest of the party kill the minion as it pops up one by one. Warning, the minions launch a physical AoE upon their death.
7th Boss: Ancient Evil (Belial)
I've only completed this boss once, after 3 failed attempts. But we got a gold mat in the end, and starting to attempt it more. This is the Barbarian tanking method, not archer.
The wall on the right side of the pit is climbable, use this to your advantage. The first order of business is to take care of the minions (they spawn ~90% health). An easy way to get the boss to this health without doing much fighting is to have an Archer Sharptooth it (provided the skill is high enough). If not, then have the Barbarian aggro the boss, get him so that the boss's back is facing the party.
At this point it shouldn't be mind blowing. The physical AoE seems to be around his front and sides, so don't have any weak HP or weak defense players stand near there. There will be a total of 3 minions, Naught (Ranged Physical), Veil (Ranged Magic), and Slit (Physical). These minions hit extremely hard! Once you get the boss to spawn the minions, step into the portal to save yourselves. Get back on that right wall and it's minion killing time.
Naught (Ranged Physical)
Have your highest defense ranged person (in the video it happens to be me) aggro the minion and then get him as close as you can to the wall. This one has a high range, so you can go pretty far up the wall. However, the minion won't follow you up. Now simply have a cleric heal you, and kill the minion. Warning: I do not recommend attacking when Ancient Evil is nearby, he will most likely aggro you and then use his physical AoE which will probably wipe your clerics + anyone lacking in def / HP.
Veil (Ranged Magic)
This one's range isn't as far. So stand closer to the lava (approximately where in the video). You can be around that jutting wall. Get heals, then kill. Ancient Evil will sometimes aggro saying something like "Fresh blood, omnomnom." But most of the time he won't throw his AoE at you. Just don't attack and wait for him to continue his circular path.
Slit (Physical)
You'll have to kill this one while someone is getting the boss. In our case, we had our Barbarian and two clerics heal him while me (with Herc) tanks the minion and kills it with other members of the party. It's strong physical attack, but should be simple.
Ancient Evil
Notes: Spawns minions around 90% health. Eventually he will start to random aggro a member of the party and then fire a shot of physical damage at them (this can be canceled). I highly recommend the use of Plume Shell for Clerics, and if needed Dew of God Protection (20 Red Berry + 15 Black Henbane). They will absorb up to 3000 damage, and last for around 5 minutes, regardless of the description.
Nearing his death, he will start to mana drain you. It will instant sap you of all your MP.
Barbarian: Make sure you're fully buffed and have Invoke the Spirit (Turtle). Your main job is to keep aggro and cancel the attacks (believe me, there are a lot). You may be needed to use Invoke to rebuff yourself (HP) and give time for a cleric to resurrect a dead party member.
Blademaster: If there is one (I highly recommend it for defense buff), try having the fist skill Shadowless Kick which can cancel spells. Other than trying to cancel, attack the boss.
Venomancer: Eventually the boss will continuously buff itself (level up animation). So stay in Fox Form and Purge like hell. His buff will go off around every 20 seconds or so. So you will eventually have to adjust your timing. Also Amplify Damage.
Clerics: Heal. If you do die, make sure the other clerics resurrects you ASAP. The Barb if needed can use Invoke in time for you to resurrect.
Archer / Wizard: Damage deal. Archers can tank this boss, but I am not knowledgeable in that method. Sharptooth the boss.

hmm... i can seem to solo tt and i have a Herc. Fucking pisses me off. What level do you need to be?

It depends on what bosses you're trying to do. Some bosses like Cosmoforce or Wurlord aren't Herc tankable. Others like Fataliqua or Dimentora are. I would recommend at least being the level range of the TT and maybe a bit higher.
