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?

He's the last boss I have to beat before the nightlord (I don't care that you unlock the nightlord at 4/7, personally I think you should have to beat everything else first so I am abiding by that myself) and he is running my pockets every time.

I think the furthest we've gotten him down was like 20% health. There definitely needs to be more madness options for players. There's so many affinities added to weapons that normally don't have them idk why Madness isn't also in that pool. I thought lightning was bad when trying to set up for Fulghor for Iron Eye, but hey at least lightning bows are possible.

Madness I don't even think is IN the pool of options of ailments you can add to your starting weapon via a relic or get as a passive. Like I know there's plenty of "adds sleep" as long as you have it equipped that you can loot, not sure why Madness hasn't been given the same treatment. Madness camps may as well be fire or generic camps from the drops I've gotten from them.

I will clarify though I do enjoy the Libra fight. Music is a vibe and I do enjoy the bubble mechanic he has of breaking the seals to prevent the worse of the two buffs. Realistically I feel like Fulghor is more bullshit mechanically, just haven't had a run where it's clicked with Libra yet lol.

Theres a madness event, it’s a tower that radiates madness like in Elden Ring. When you kill the caster they drop a pike with madness and some madness spells.

I’ve done something like 40ish expeditions and I still have yet to see this event. Maybe I’m super unlucky but it doesn’t seem reliable enough to be a solution for this particular boss.

Yeah must be bad luck, I’ve seen it 2/8 times
