Oni-Goroshi in Current League - are You gonna farm it or drop it?

Might be a weird question, but do You talk to the Dying Exile each run during farming?

Earlier leagues I did, killed the zombie then rushed to Hillock.
This time I skip it and just rush straight to Hillock.
Was wondering, whether it has any effect.
All-time non-streamer luckless dropless rewardless tons-of-time-playing non-TFT-er 100% solo player.
So, it just turns out, we were lied to for years with the promises of a two-storied one PoE 4.0.
All these worse and worse beta leagues, all these braindead changes, all lead to this.

Ignore the dying exile. It’s wasted time. Ignore sand spitters. XP is crap. You do need to kill zombIes so you can get character level 6-7 and gem levels to 4. After that just run to Hillock. You can also skip Hillock if it isn’t the Uber version. Really only need to kill him for chance of a good weapon or speed boots drop or a tabula if your lucky (which will also earn you an achievement). Make sure you have no filter otherwise you won’t see any low level drops like wisdom scrolls. The funniest thing there is even though portals are disabled portal scrolls still drop ....I assume you already know to use 3-4 characters in rotation while running the TS.

Yeah, thanks, I also felt the Dying Exile is just a waste of time.

And yes, thanks for the detailed response, it is not my first farming, but it is a really good summary on the farming process. I am rotating 4 characters, all are levels 7.5-7.6 at the moment, only killed zombies to level to 6 quickly, then from that point, I only rush straight to Hillock.
Already got a Tabula off Him, and as killing him is 3-4 hits, I always kill Him, just in case.

Tabula in Strand is useless but helpfull later.
I got into the habit of talking to the dying exile just to get an early warning in case I haven't given the instance enough time to reset. But yes, I agree that the dying exile is not really worth the xp.

It is actually wating time. If You hunt for 1 OG 4 characters in rotation will be enought for instance reset even if You run only to Hillock. If You aim at 2 OGs then 5 characters will do the trick. Any less will get You into entering Strand too soon without any "delays". But thats just wasting time.
Oh and apparently once your character gets an Oni you can’t get a second Oni with it - in other words you can’t then kill UH with his own weapon. I’ve been testing that. So far it hold true up to level 8 character

There is hypothesis that says that You actually can spawn another UH but it wont drop OG. But that has to be veryfied.

Very painful to prove the negative.
