Do all sidequests available for you so you will be at level 39 by the time you fight him. Also go after blood first. I learned that the hard way after he spawned more minions after I defeated 2 of them. So kill blood first so he doesn't get more minions to aid him.

It's funny, I read this last night and I decided to go farm Blood for his jacket, since my swashbuckler needs one. My second run I got it as a drop from him!

Don't give up! Sometimes it just takes the right amount of luck.

For this dungeon a friend or a few would be incredibly useful. At higher levels the difficulty of this dungeon is not a problem, however no matter what level you are this dungeon is time consuming- only if you go alone. You see the secret to doing this dungeon as fast as possible is to organise tasks and spread out with your friends. Assuming I just have one other member in a run this is what we usually do. Let's assume you are player 1 (P1) and a friend is player 2 (P2).
1.) Do the initial entrance battle together.
2.) After this P1 goes to card dealer in saloon whilst P2 visits Father Ryan in the general store. Now P1 talks to the dealer and right after P2 talks to Ryan.
3.) Collect cards and spread out to cover more ground quicker. After the cards are collected P1 goes back to the dealer and P2 talks to Ryan. Exchange chat with NPCs in order
4.) P2 goes to jockley and P1 visits first bone remain. After this P1 goes to jockley whilst P2 goes to second bone remain and buries it.
The rest of the dungeon is not time consuming. I recommend one player solos Bosun Budd and the other clears the way for the 4th card as this is quicker than having both players battle together in two fights. Also remember to have fast combat on! Good luck and I hope you get the jacket soon! It's really great for PvE and an essential for soloing some Valencian fights. Also remember that scratch mojo flow increases damage of flames. When I went against Kane with some witch doctors I have seen a single flame cast 7000+ damage on a marine unit. Once again good luck!

He only spawns minions when you damage him, so hit him with everything you have!

Why do people even want the jacket anyway it's not that good. The only good perk that i know the jacket gives is you can spawn red fire that doesn't do much damage.

It does fantastic damage when paired with Old Scratch's Mojo buffs and I've seen it used most effectively in the Kane battle. They usually take out Queen before she can get near the team.

That explains why all my friends are in the machine all the time.

Just farm, but I know your pain
