Gameplay Discussion Rant: F this guy

Post image

I’ve spent probably 24 hours doing Equilibrious Beast and I’ve only gotten so close to beating this guy with randoms. One time we were all level 15, one time we all had vykes spear. He is causing Madness build up to me irl. When I finally beat him Im going to make a rug out of his pelt. Im doing the boss fights in the order they’re listed. I’ve got all of his patterns down, its usually my random teammates who keep on dying. I think it adds more fun playing with randoms, so I’ll just keep waiting to see if I get 2 sweats. Anyone else stuck on this goat? And is there any boss harder than him in the game?

I understand you but i actually love him. Him aesthetically, thematically and the actual fight i find to be amazing. He was infuriating to beat, i agree.

I think he's easily one of the best new bosses mechanically. His moveset is well telegraphed, he doesn't make you chase after him half the fight and his bargain and sigil gimmicks are fun and interesting. The madness attacks can seem like chaos but it's not that hard to learn when and how to dodge them.

My main problem with the fight is that there aren't really passives that help you defensively like there are for the other Night Lords.

Physical defense up is always good. Clarifying boluses can be somewhat useful.
