Can I abort the final boss fight?

[Tom Tardis]

So my friend and I got to the Lothar mission, but he's kicking our collective behinds. So we wanted to bounce out and go collect more silver and experience to make the fight a little more doable...

but I can't figure out how to get out of the fight. Is there a way to abort the fight and go back to the other parts of the game? So far, I can't seem to find a way, other than to join someone else's game.

We tried with lvl 40s in coop but after 20-ish deaths we will maybe try tomorrow. Playing on hard, didn't know it was last mission, would grind instead.
Youtube vid is something else entirely, boss goes down fast.
In our game neither god key or armor-strong weapons worked much. It is than a matter of time untill you make a mistake and get 1-shot by the boss instantly or get disctracted and get wiped by the gunship.

Its a matter of bad design choices, rather than a case of git gud.

I'm at level 37, single player. I'm stuck in Siegturm. Lothar is not there. I was fighting him and damaging him, but then he disappeared. Now there's no way out. Can't break the windows with any weapon, including the God Key hand.

This is my second try in Siegturm. First time I somehow pushed Lothar out a window after shooting him in the back. I had access to the rest of the Siegturm through this window. Later in another part of the Siegturm, I got killed after confronting too many Nazi's.

On the second try got stuck as above.

Please advise. CHB

You can't. Only way is to finish him on Easy. We did that, but it felt very cheap :(

Just to update on this, we are reading players' feedback on Lothar's difficulty, both what our players have said when playing in co-op as well as solo, and are looking into it.

Thank you these comments MM. CHB

Playing it on easy worked for me as well. But yes it felt cheap doing it that way.

At least there is replay mode where we can redo the fight in a more prepared way, but forcing us to complete a boss battle with limited ammo and 1 shared life isn't fun.

I definitely would recommend changing this. Either gives us the option to leave the fight or let us restart it with full ammo and shared lives.

Option to 'abort' the mission would fix this.

This. I'm stuck in the boss fight with my friend and I'm okay with him being difficult... However, not being able to go back to the catacombs and do side missions to farm is a real problem.
I'm literally stuck in the game now, just waiting for an update :/

You can't. Once you enter that level you must kill it. It also spawns you at the start of the level if you die during the boss fight. Just run through all the enemies. No need to kill them.

It doesn't. It always spawned us at the arena. The one time they actually made a frickin checpoint...
Besides, they didn't even give you a prompt saying "You would not be able to continue the game should you progress with this mission". If you can't abort, at least a warning...

Spawns in the arena? They must have patched that in. During 1.0 release it would spawn you at the very start.

I am waiting with playing further until this is fixed.
I guess it is too late for a refund when i am at the final boss fight :-)

Honestly until this issue the game was fun, but now ....

It really isn't that much of a problem when you get to the last part of the boss fight you will have the opportunity to get ammo from killing enemy's while the boss is in a broken elevator just don't go near the elevator tower to let him out until you kill all other enemy's and get ammo then you just have to use the centre platform as cover while you dodge and attack him. upgrade your weapons before you get there for max damage

Yes, you get ammo farming around, but the last five times my daughter and I tried there was lower quality ammo each and every time except for the electrical and diesel in the room. Both weapons that require you stand out exposed for a long period of time.

We are basically try to fight with spit balls and a few shotgun shells. I would very much appreciate it if they ensured a couple uberhammer rounds were available or charges for the laserkraftwerk.

It gets more frustrating each time to grind out through the easy parts only to get pegged once because you are fighting with rocks and sticks.

Game went from fun to bleh.

That huge damn ship that flys and bombards you with rockets was the main issue in that fight for me.

I had to lower the difficulty to get past.
