Equipment
The recommended weapon for Hermit fight is Steel Nunchaku. To increase your winning chances, you can enchant this weapon with a simple or a medium recipe. Also, you may need to enchant your armor or helm too. If you don't have enough resources to enchant, play ascension or eclipse survival. Every enchantment is useful, except magic recharge because the player doesn't have access to magic just yet (Unless you have monk's amulet from ascension). However, maximum upgrades aren't that important. You can easily defeat Hermit with 3 upgrades on every piece of equipment.

Battle
Hermit has magic recharge on his armor, which allows him to use his magic at any time he desires. In the first round, he will use the lightning arrow. After you defeat him one round, he will start to use his skill (Hermit's storm) and he will also switch his magic to the water ball. This one is even more powerful than the lightning arrow, and even tougher to avoid. A wrong-timed roll will make the water ball explode in your feet, so be careful. Also, Hermit has unfeeble enchantment on his swords (75% weakness for 10 seconds). So avoid being struck by his swords, or the battle will get harder.

On the bright side, the steel Nunchaku is a fast, medium ranged weapon. Which allows you to interrupt most of his attacks and magic.

Tips

 * When Hermit spins and tries to levitate (uses his skill), don't move or try to attack in the first 2 seconds while he's still in front of you. Because he will swing his swords and knock you down. Instead, just stand there and block all the swings so you don't get knocked, then quickly use a high kick after he levitates. If his lightning strikes you, the damage absorbtion enchantment on the armor comes in handy. Never panic, Just stand again and try to hit him to knock him from the sky.
 * Try to deal as much damage continuously to prevent Hermit from attacking, using magic or using his skill.
