Yup, the beam of light/compass has been incredibly usefull since the upgrades.:(

I don't have a staff, and i got him down to about 1 hp but then he keeeled me!!! grrr he is very annoying. i have all the voodoo doll skills, so could someone give me some tips on how to beat him????

Well, you might wanna first get information on this guy.

1) He is levels 29-32
2) his weapons are cutlass and dagger
3) He has 16,500 health points
4) He is in an awkward area, being on an incline.

Based on this, you can come up with afew different ways of defeating him.
In my personal experience, I have used my staff until i get him down to about 2,000 health, and then use my cutlass. But since you do not have staff, it would be better to use your strongest weapon. The problem with using the doll is that at anytime, he can simply use a dagger asp to break your attunement, and that gives him enough time to get in a few more blows before you get back on the offensive. This limits you to cutlass, dagger, pistol, and grenade ( but really, who uses grenades? ) From there, you just have to use your highest level weapon out of those 4 (3). Other than that, i can only give you these tips.

1) Be sure to have a Miracle Water of Elixer handy.
2) Get him off his little ramp, to "level" the playing field.
3) Clear all the enemys that are near that area.
4) Bring Friends!

Occasionally Darkheart runs around the beach but Timothy Dartan never moves.

he doesnt move that is a glitch that makes him move and at a certain point he will pass the wall and then you cant get him.

But to the person who asked about how to kill him here are my tips...
1.DOLL IS PROBAVLY BEST WEAPON TO USE
2.HAVE LIFE DRAIN AND CURSE
3.throw asps and adders sidewinders to wither awayhis health and to pull him down..
4.bring firends or crew.
(sorry for spelling kinda in a hurry

ok, the beam of light is BROKEN. when I was supposed to be hunting terror wasps ( long story, mate, ) it ALWAYS led to everything BUT the little buggers! ( and yes, THAT includes cadets! ) all in all, I don't think you should trust it until they fix it. but what I found odd about darkheart is that he is blocking a store! how are we supposed to get in?!!?
