In low populated overflows, this thing should either despawn after a time, or not spawn at all. Try to fight it? Die unless you have at least a mini zerg present. Try to run? Depending on the skills of your profession and which spot of the zone you’re in, you probably still die anyway, since most enemies has a cripple/immobilize/pull and will use it at the first opportunity.
It runs a very specific path around the Labyrinth (around the outside “main” path), and the event pops up pretty early on your map, so if you’re watching out for it you can usually get out of the way before it gets to you. Most places in the Lab have plenty of spots to run off the main area and “hide”.
Mind you, that’s before its aggro’d you. It is true that once its locked on to you its extremely difficult to get away, what with the Horror’s charge attacks, the perma-torment it puts on you, and as you mentioned the tendency of the mobs to pull / cripple / ect.
I’m kind of torn on whether I like it or not, honestly. Having to run and hide from some giant chainsaw-wielding terror is certainly very Halloween-like, so in that way its fitting. But purely from a gameplay perspective, forcing the player to disengage whatever they’re doing to run off the main path and hide in a corner does get a bit annoying.
We beat him, 5 man against him.. It took 10 minutes, but it was fun 10 minutes He is easy.. you just have to time your dodge and look at his animations and attack pattern

Seriously. You can easily farm the lab to the tune of 6+ gold per hour and you complain about the one actually challenging encounter? Maybe spend some time to figure out how it attacks and adjust your toon and attack/defense accordingly. I can solo Horror with my engineer and it’s a long, fun battle.
i managed to get him below half soloing him befor other people showed up toke a bit but i like a challange its all in the cripple chills and immobs, and i throw on some regen skills so i my hot’s out do any of the conditions he puts on me.
I killed him once on almost on my own in the hallway, I wanted to give up after awhile but was invested. It was just elixir gun, bomb kit, flamethrower, the right food, black lion buffs and lots and lots of dodges, only regret from the experience was I didn’t record the event as it wasn’t planned and the small group that showed up at around 10%. I still admit he sucks, especially when he shows up with the lich or high viscount.

It can be frustrating esp. because of the spam cc done by the mobs in the area, which I always find pointless and annoying. Heading to the center is your best bet as others have
TBH if I’m in an underpopulated Labyrinth I just leave for another time. Spending 5x the amount of time to kill the same mobs in the name of a “challenge” (i.e. timesink) is not my idea of fun. Get a large group together and trash the place, now that’s fun.
And when you have a group/zerg, the Horror can be entertaining and having him show up with the Viscount adds a new level to the fight (wouldn’t know about the Lich because everyone I’ve see is avoiding that boring fight and doing ones that are more than stacking in a corner and just standing there)

I think fighting him at the lich is far more entertaining, though for entirely different reasons. I’ve seen him die almost instantly from the lich’s lifesteal and his adds’ retaliation.
The horror is easy which small group and take him as long as people don’t bring thier face to the chain saw. Usually dont fight where there are mummies around that thing is nasty with immobilize.
Yeah I’d be happy to never see him again. However if you are alone keep to the back, when he chases you, you can usually jump off a cliff and respawn at start. Its boring as heck and a complete pita, but it works.
