Summary

With approximately 60 seconds per kill, you can achieve a minimum of 1,000 FE per hour, which adds up quickly over extended farming sessions.
Requirements
Before you start farming Uber Keegan, ensure you meet these requirements:
Recommended DPS: 1.8 trillion. The fight can be done with lower damage but will take longer
Edict of Doom Keys: Required for each Uber Keegan attempt
No specific Pactspirits needed – pets do not affect this fight at all
The Fight Mechanics
Phase 1: Dodge the Opening Attacks
Start the fight by dodging three punches. Move side to side because the attack area is quite large . After dodging, dash to the center of the arena.
Important: Drop your own portal in the center before starting the fight. If you use the map portal, you spawn back at the map device and have to run to the boss. Your own portal drops you right next to the boss NPC, saving several seconds per run .
Phase 2: Wave Dodge
After the initial punches, run down and dodge a wave attack by dashing over the top of it. Then stand still until the big wave finishes. The wave comes in two parts—the first is deadly, the second does nothing .
Phase 3: Final Mechanics
After the wave, dodge two projectiles. You cannot go side to side here, but the margin for error is larger. Stand in the correct position and go to the opposite side when the health bar appears on one side—standing in the wrong position will kill you instantly .

Loot and Profit
Guaranteed Drops
Each Uber Keegan kill guarantees a Familiar Nexus drop . At current market prices:
Familiar Nexus sells for 44-45 FE each
Edict of Doom keys cost approximately 17.3 FE each
Profit per kill: ~27 FE minimum
Additional Drops
Beyond the guaranteed Nexus, Uber Keegan drops other valuable items:
Frozen Flame and Burning Ice: Worth approximately 140 FE each, unidentified
Supreme Throne: Sells for about 3 FE each
Corroded Items: The boss always drops a corroded item. Many loot filters filter these out, so you need to add a line to your filter to show them
Corroded Rel's Laws: Can be worth up to 150 FE
Profit Per Hour
With 60-second kills, you can achieve:
Minimum 1,000 FE per hour profit
This can exceed 1,000 FE/hour with additional drops like Frozen Flame and good corroded items
Setup Tips
Loot Filter Setup
Most filters filter out corroded items. To fix this:
Go to your loot filter settings
Find the legendary gear section
Add a new line with the condition: "drop has been corroded"
Confirm and save
Portal Placement
Always drop your own portal in the center of the boss arena. This saves several seconds per run compared to using the map portal .
Key Buying Strategy
Buy Edict of Doom keys in bulk. Prices fluctuate, so buy when they are cheap. However, be careful not to over-invest—if you buy 100 keys but only have the patience to run 40, your FE is sitting in your inventory instead of generating profit .
Selling Strategy
List Familiar Nexuses at 44-45 FE each
Do not undercut to 41 FE—you are simply ripping yourself off
Bulk listings sell quickly. In testing, stacks of 20 sold consistently at 44.5 FE each
Damage Breakpoints
With 1.8 trillion DPS, runs take about 60 seconds
If you can hit a damage threshold that skips the shield mechanic, runs can drop to about 45 seconds
Even with lower damage, the fight remains profitable—just slightly slower
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Forgetting to pick up the Nexus: Easy to do when farming mindlessly—remember to loot the chest after each kill
Not dodging the one-shot mechanic: Always go to the opposite side when the health bar appears on one side
Walking into fire: The burning ring mechanic is easy to walk into when not paying attention
Taking the wrong portal: Using the map portal instead of your own wastes time
Adding Oasis for Extra FE
You can add Oasis glider farming into your routine for additional FE per hour.
Shipment Tips:
The minimum recommended shipment is between 5 and 10 million—smaller shipments yield poorer rewards
The "A and B" combination in Oasis is recommended for the best rewards
Glider Management:
Send out gliders regularly
Rescue them when they come under attack
Use the pet trigger when available
Oasis can add several hundred FE per hour on top of your boss farm. However, don't invest heavily in Glider upgrades before your Oasis Core reaches Level 7 .
Results from Real Testing
In a 72-minute farming session, total profit was 2,111 FE, including Familiar Nexus drops, additional corroded items, and Oasis glider rewards .
Final Thoughts
Uber Keegan is one of the most consistent and brainless FE farms in Torchlight: Infinite Afterlight. It requires no pets, no special setups, and delivers guaranteed profit every single kill, making it a great alternative to spending real money on cheap Torchlight: Infinite FE from external sellers—though for those who do prefer that route, platforms like MMOEXP are frequently mentioned in the community. The monotony is the main downside—reminding yourself that every minute you are making 19 FE profit helps keep you going. If you find yourself forgetting to pick up the Nexus or dying to dumb mechanics, it is time to take a break. The farm will still be there when you return.
