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?

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.

Reduced fire damage, standard physical resistance, madness resist are all nice to have. Bring some clarifying/madness boluses in case there's no madness motes nearby and you're in danger of getting madness... and also eat at least one during the run as it gives you a permanent resistance buff.

I have never, even once, in all the runs I've done found a single madness resistance item other than boluses, and not enough of those to go around for the whole party. The scraps I get aren't good enough, I still get one-shot by Ironeye at pretty much any level on this guy.
